Beginner's Safe Space 2023

You are most welcome! If you are wanting to get to the point of playing it and singing it together, Justin has a lesson on that specifically, which helped me quite a bit. If you want to check that out, here it is: https://www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/singing-playing-at-the-same-time-bg-2003

The big points from that lesson are:

  • Listen to the song, a lot, at least 10 times; we learn music via listening.
  • Practice singing the song, by itself.
  • Practice playing the song, by itself, until it feels automatic, or nearly so.
  • Then, combine them together.
  • Singing practice, playing practice, and combined practice can often be helped by playing/singing/both along with the original recording.

After using that lesson, I recorded this song a second time, and I think it really helped. You can see the result here: "Three Little Birds" - My Second Performance
