Can wail on guitar...But can't sing a lick! - sunnibear - 02-09-2011
Hi Sunnibear Here,
Been in Nashville for over 20 years. Helped many big country artists get airplay on radio. Decided to hire 2 of the best guitar teachers (2 distinct different teaching styles) to help me get to where I expected to be right now. My biggest problem has always been trying to sing. I've always been a pretty good musician on a few other instruments, but for some reason, I still can't sing! Anyone out there that can recommend a true tried and tested course or maybe a teacher out there? Would appreciate any input.

Hey.................It don't matter ...............many many guitar greats can't sing but still what they do is great even very original ................Don't get get a teacher just use your voice as it is .......it will get stronger and will develop a style of its own !

Exactly !,,,,,,,,,I don't think Bob Dylan worried about his voice....he sang from the heart and millions of people worldwide love his voice for its' distinctive signature !!!!!

Welcome to MD! I was born singing but have had no luck trying to to teach anyone to sing. I wish I had some advice for you but I don't :confused:

Like Roger McGuinn told Tom Petty, "Just sing!".
(And c'mon, admit it. TP sounds quite a bit like Bullwinkle Moose. That is perhaps why we have never heard a duet from Petty and Moose?!?

Yo Stevo, you are absolutely right... you can also add Willy Nelson to this list. I just started vocal lessons and quickly learned very quickly to make it my own and feel the music and the passion will show thru! Thanks
