I share the curse (blessing?) of a bass voice. It makes singing lead on most songs pretty difficult unless I have some electronic help. When I sing an octave down from where most songs are written, the guitar sounds OK, but my voice does not project. If I transpose to a range where my voice has some projection, the guitar doesn’t have the tone I like. Oh, well. I have fun with it anyway and I don’t let it stop me. Playing out at open mics has been a blast because amplification takes care of the lack of projection in the lower range for me. It’s funny how a little bit of power makes me a little crazy.
