Abram’s lesson on singing with guitar

Hi Camille and Abram,

I was able to listen in on Abram's lesson today and found his suggestions on multitasking with the guitar and the voice to be very useful. Also his approach to getting to chords on the left hand and even shutting your eyes while you find them a little scary but useful. Also his hints on multitasking were useful. I may want to go to more live sessions by you, Camille, and Abram. I couldn't find the bell icon to join in on the discussion. I think I need help with UTube LOL. I am currently working with Camille's lessons reviewing high voice and plan to review Abram's lesson on Guitar playing, immediately, and apply them.

Right now I am also working on learning the fret board with guitar science. And learned some theory that allowed me to adjust many of my chords to simplify them all over the fretboard, with more of a jazz approach. Mixing up the things I have learned from you to relax tension for singing and the guitar and a bit of guitar theory I have learned from guitar science has really helped me. I look forward to more useful learning here. And relaxation LOL

Thanks,

Stephanie

Glad you could join, Stephanie! Do you have a YouTube account? That's necessary to post comments. The notification bell would just serve to remind you when the lesson is starting, but it sounds like you made it! 

I was able to listen to Abrams lesson a few days later. I wish I had been able to be there live. There were a few questions I would have liked to ask. His voice sounded great with that song but I wasn't really clear how he picked what key to sing in. For example, when he strums a chord, there are 3 G notes going strummed across the 6 strings. In essence, 2 octaves. Could he have sung that chord over any of those tones?

If I understand you correctly, you're wondering how a singer chooses which specific pitch to sing, or in which octave since there are several G's (G3, G4, etc)? You choose which octave to sing in based on your range and the range of the melody!
