Sometimes I think it sounds good, sometimes I think it sounds awful.but really, if you play, it's kinda hard not to sing a bit here and there as well. | ||

I'd like to think/hope that I'm better than most and not near as good as the rest. I was thinkin' bout this the other day. I'd say that 40% of the Amelia gang was singers who played guitar. Another 40% were musicians who where more into running scales and the 1/4/5 thing. The last 20% could do both. AJ | ||

A couple guys are assigned to tote guitars around and store cases as needed. :D I look forward to meeting you. Don't forget to bring your back support brace and practice lifting with your knees. | ||

Joined: October 2007 Posts: 2711 Location: Vernon CT | I was told most of my life "DON"T SING, YOU CAN"T!" I then joind a little "Jam" group who encouraged me to sing. They didn't seem to care how bad it was. And it was bad! I've now been singing for 3 years. I've discovered I can sing in a couple of keys and within an Octave. Im no front person, but can hold a tune. We ALL can sing, the question should be "can you sing in key" I've learned with practice MOST can probable "train" yourselves to do so just by doing it and not caring what you sound like. Eventually you will "find" your key and range. Just my .02! :) | ||

Joined: June 2005 Posts: 1320 Location: Round Rock, TX | I used to sing very well a couple of thousand cigars ago, but I had a very nice low bass voice. You know how many popular songs have been written for low bass singers? Doesn't much matter now. These days about the best I achieve is rhythmic croaking, but that doesn't keep me from achieving it as often as I can. | ||

I just got sick of not singing because, for me, lyrics/vocals are a big part of the enjoyment of playing music. So I began with not caring what it sounded like and eventually found areas and that I can work with. Once I started tuning to E flat things came together better.I've discovered I can sing in a couple of keys and within an Octave. Im no front person, but can hold a tune.

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 1478 Location: Michigan | A bunch of us who have been friends since ( hi skoll ) still get together and party like its 1995 and after 20 or so drinks or whatever someone will go put an old Beatles record on and EVERYONE becomes a lead singer. When youve been partying to long everybody actually thinks that we all sound good but im sure if it were recorded there might be some other thoughts after the playback but we have a ball doing it. Its something about those old Beatles songs that you have to sing along to no matter how bad your singing is. :eek: :rolleyes: :p GWB | ||

Some people just don't have a voice that can be helped, but I'm not sure that anyone is really tone deaf. I've watched one American Idol show and that was one of the tryouts. It is amazing how many people think they can sing that aren't even close. | ||
