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 can't seem to hit the correct note with my voice which I want. I listen to it, have it in my head, try to hit it, The tuner tells me its a different note I don't know what to do. HELP ME COS !! I went to the vocal coach in the academy, and, she said that I don't hit the correct notes and... it's in the nature :\| I don't know what to do ! Yes, I am worried and freaked out, because I see it as my life depends on it ? Half of my life. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Answer me honestly and I'll tell you what to do That's a simple answer - None... She just said that I don't hear it correctly and she gave me the number of some other guy who teaches such stuff. But, from what I know, he's gonna ask for money money and I don't have enough I guess. I'll call him tomorrow probably but I don't hope for any help. Isn't ear from within ? Like, even kids hit the correct notes ? And I don't. Probably I am not made for singing ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The idea is that you need to begin with the tuner exercise - that is the fundamental thing that you need to begin with. Pitch recognition in its basic form, as we may look at it. How about recording the exercise - let;s try with the C major scale - C D E F G A B C. What do you think? I want you to record each note with the guitar and with the voice doubling it then. Let me know how that sounds to you, matey You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sounds cooler ) Then, I'll do a vocal cover of Let it be. I hope you'll have 2 videos today. Edit - Started. Played A note on 2nd fret G String. A Note, right ?

I have things under my reach, just need to learn how to control my voice. And, I , my range is pretty bad. The Tuner says 2A (that's the lowest I have went, I went 2G too, but that was a lot of effort) to 5C ? I've hit 5D and 5F# a few times too. I need to work on my range too So much to do and just one poor Yash. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You should be able to sing the A note instantaneously even when you are woken up from your sleep Work on it and don't think about how much it is, but enjoy the fruits and the journey, ok?

So, try to sing the notes at the same volume you are speaking at That's pretty much the best approach here, so please try it and let me know how it feels.

I want you to sing as softly as possible, ok? Don't go up and down the scale in order to reach I don't know what pitches, but just stay in one octave where you are most comfortable and aim to reach the correct pitches in that octave. Once again, choose an octave which is comfy for you and in which you don't feel any effort when singing, ok? I am looking forward to see a recording and we can comment on that one, deal?

I mean, sing a note, pause a bit to check and then if you are correct with the tuner and the guitar in the same time, go forward to the next one This is one approach.
