alyssa Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam528 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clocks-politik Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksg_tarheelfan Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyssa Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo88 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam528 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acoustiks Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 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.

burningmonk Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 It's easier to sing while playing the guitar than it is to do so with the drums. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
