IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.

I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:

* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!

* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.

* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.

* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.

* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.

* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?

* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

I need your opinion on something Aria is another project of mine, where it seems that at the moment I am taking care of the vocals as well This is what me and the other guitarist have recorded vocal wise over a song called Meta( morphosys ) this is an intermediary mix so, there's still a lot of work to do. The thing is, that I am not very comfy with my voice so, I was curious to hear your opinions about it go easy on me mates You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The clean voice is also good, there is something ,you know, "strange", but i do not realized what it its. maybe some kind of "a bit too much nasal sound" but i am not sure. I would try to change the harmony of the vocals and see what happens, for instance, I´d add to the chorus in the part when it says "Whenever...." it's the high pich of the voice so i'd do a 3 rd down to give more you know "body" "contour" (I feel like in that part the voice becomes to "thin") i hope you get the idea. and of course take out the previous hamonized voice otherwise it will be too much voices. I reeeeaaally understand that you are not comfortable or confident at all with your voice, it happens to all the singers i guess, listen to yourself is very complicated and some time frustrating. But this is not the case man, the vocals are great so congrats! this is me singing: (I know i am doing it wrong, this is 3 years old, now i am trying to change my way of singing) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I still have a hard time listening to my voice because it seems soo strange I'll go back to the studio on Monday and try to apply your advice let's see what happens see you in a couple of hours at the v-chat Dude, your voice is hardcore - as far as interpretation goes I prefer to keep the vibrato on the vocals as inexistent as possible - the straighter and the more sustained it sounds, the better!!

(I'm not saying you couldn't because maybe you could)..too often vocalists push themselves in the studio to doing things that they wouldn't naturally go to, so that might be worth considering as well.. next time you approach vocal melodies think 'How would I do this if I were playing it live with a guitar hung around me too ?'

I gotta say that you can sing high! That's high for me. My voice starts cracking if I try that kind of thing. I hate my singing voice. Yours sounded so professional.

IN my opinion there is nothing odd with your singing at all. When you reach a certain level possible "fixes" are only a matter of taste - since singing to me is not about perfection but quite the opposite: making use of your imperfections (hehe no coincidence this comes from me, huh?) Of course you could improve pitch on some places, add more power/diaphragm etc. But would it make the song better - I dont know... Then you could get more input from life in general and add a different vocal feeling/theme in your next song - will it better? Who knows. This was a very cool tune and performance, well done! And do you do the scream yourself as well? I have never quite gotten into that.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

As a sneak preview, I decided to let you in on the raw guitar takes! I used a Mesa Boogie Road King head and the PRS Paul Allender for all the tracks! Note that this is not mixed or anything let me know if you like it! The first song was featured in a previous v-chat session where I had a guest in the person of my awesome drummer with his djembe!
