I sing and play guitar, is kinda hard to get the same voice when I do it. Is not to terrible but I do much better when I dont play. Could you recommend some vocal exercises to improve on that? Thanks!!! This is what I answered for another questions ( the same problem) in the forum: Ok! In other opportunities my students ask me the same thing. And what i tell them is that singing is like speaking just holding the notes, So you have to start with the first step. I recommend playing the guitar and while you do this just talking. Say something that you usually say. For example: Your national anthem, or anything that you don't have to think about it, like the happy birthday (don't singing it ok? , just say that words) Then try to improvise a conversation like: "My name is .... I'm..... I like......! things that you have to think a little what you have to say. So, your concentration start to dividing. Easy words at first! This exercise helps a lot when you have to sing. You have to learn how divide the concentrations.- Try this.. It works You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I find it much easier to sing in some open chords stuff, than to play some hard rythm with power chords, or just one sting.. sounds strange, but its fact :-D You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I just tried the talking thing and Ive made huge progress... too bad my voice is garbage You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
