Hi.
I am guitar player, but I also would like to use my voice better (at least for backing vocals but also for fun), so I am now starting at your lessons  I read some stuff on the internet, but sometimes it seems quite controversial. I believe I am baritone, but that is just guess . So, I would like to know how can I determine my vocal range? It would specially nice to know human voice pitch compared to the guitar (since this forum is well populated of guitarists )P.S. Nice job on Cirse  -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

QUOTE (Stevie·Ray·Vaughn @ Jan 25 2008, 10:22 PM) Sorry for hijacking the thread, but how can i tell what my vocal range is using a guitar? Actually, I would really like to know that.  QUOTE (Nemanja @ Jan 25 2008, 06:59 PM) hello friend,well it is easy to check in the practical way.....take a high singing song and try to sing the highest note in the song...if you can you ar not bariton...you are tenor...teoreticly baritons highest note is G1 and the lowes is "big E"... and tenor lowest is "small C" and highest C2 or D2....remebere falseto singing does not count...just your full voice volume.... Hey, thanks for the reply. One of the points of my confusion when reading stuff about voice is actually these numbers. A2, for instance means 5th string of guitar or 3rd string second fret? I know this is piano related, but all I could find was that the reference may be different on different pianos... I know I can sing Mark Knopfler fairly comfortably and I read somewhere he is bariton. (I love his guitar style so I am trying some covers  )Recently I am practicing Brothers in Arms. According to a guitar pro tab, the lowest part for voice is a Ab in 4th fret of 6th string. (That should be baritone right?) My understanding is that vocal classification should be something more or less on average of population. Some people would have a bigger and some people would have a smaller range (I believe to be the latter  )So what I would like to do close to what SRV wanted: use my guitar to do a "self test" to know precisely what notes I can reach both up and down. But I don't want to get to the wrong conclusion including falsetto or something else... Any help on this? Also, Luciana? -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
