Singing and playing guitar, at the same time..

Is there a good method to practice this? Because I can play guitar (don't know if I can sing but what the hell) and I want to do both and post some vids on Youtube.

I find it hard to even talk when in the middle of playing...

When someone asks me a question I kinda just stare at them for a second until I stop.

choose simple songs, like anything written by The Beatles, since their music is pretty easy. The main thing is to play something basic, then gradually go into more complicated music.

sriously, the only way to do it. is to practice:P

i know it sounds stupid, but it just takes practice i learned by busking(or trying to at first)

have you tried youtube for methods? Yeah, its really hard. The only way I can do it is if the part on guitar sounds similar to the singing.

choose a song that's simple and one that's repetitive to get used to it. A song that you know well always helps too

:lol: me too!

Anyhoo, i agree with AxeStrangler, best begin with something easy to get used to it.

I think it's all in your guitar playing, I think you have to get to the point where you can change chords without thinking really. It makes singing alot easier whilst playing guitar.

Practice away.....I've seen it done so it's possible. Good luck.

You need to be able to play the song as if it's second nature. If you need to think about the guitar as you play, you won't be able to think about the lyrics.

So, the first step is to know the song you're playing very well. Start with easier songs as well, you'll get a bit better at doing both at the same time.

I've tried and it seems impossible. Don't know how people do it. jensen_slipknot
