Has anyone mastered this?

 

Lol, I started guitar about a year ago, and I could manage to sing a few words while playing A Message and Green Eyes... but anyone have any tips or something for coordination and independence and stuff?

 

EDIT: Oh yeah... and not only that... Drums and piano too... (those are easier though...)

I can play somethings and sing at the same time... Amsterdam, The Scientist, Clocks... not Daylight. I can't play much on guitar like that... Til Kingdom Come is impossible for me... I think I can do A Message... Warning Sign for sure I can do.

 

I dunno, I guess you just have to learn the song so well that it's natural for you, then work on the singing.

its easy, i can now sing on pretty much anything, just practice. try singing while playing the white stripes 7 nation army, its hard to do...but its a good practice, i could do it after a few trys it helps

sorry to agree...no real quick fix unless you're blessed with musical genius...PRACTICE! Another good song to practice on is 'I Miss You' (Acoustic) by Incubus...(will help with finger picking)...

I can scientist and fix you on piano :P

Argh, this is frustrating. :P I can play drums and sing, I can play piano and sing, but guitar just makes me completely uncoordinated, lol.

 

I'm a bit impatient because everything else I just learn in a snap. :P

 

But yeah... thanks for the tips! :D *starts playing Seven Nation Army*

Yea just practice. You'll get there in the end! I can understand your impatience, it's quite irritating and annoying when you can't quite do it! Good Luck anyway...

Actually you don't want to be coordinated. As I like to think, you're actually uncoordinating your brain from working together (ie left and right side) because you are trying to do too many things at once.

 

But maybe that's just me. Everytime I try to sing and play I always think of splitting my brain in two. XD

yeah its not hard, practise practise practise

Sorry... lol. I mean independence. :D

you know, glarbinator does have a point. Looking back at it, learning how to sing and play guitar was not an easy thing to do. ha ha. I remember the process from can't sing, to singing a few words, to finally managing to sing (very badly) a song and then to sing while playing guitar. The funny thing is that once I've mastered a song on guitar and can play with ease, I find that sometimes I'll forget the lyrics and I'm like "damn it! that should be the easy part!". So yeah, just keep working on it man. Master the song on guitar first, memorize the lyrics. Start with easy songs first. Wonderwall would be a good start.

I can play the piano and sing...but I can't manage to sing and play the guitar....

Wonderwall would be a good start.

 

agreed. try with wonderwall first.

It's easier to sing while playing the guitar than it is to do so with the drums. :dozey:

What about singing while playing the spoons?? :P
