Tone deaf
I’ve been playing for a while now and it was recently brought to my attention that I couldn’t “hear” the notes I was playing or replicate a note I played on my guitar with my voice. I’ve always struggled with music and guitar. Am I a lost cause?

Absolutely not! @Unclerice If you enjoy singing, then you should just sing to your hearts content. Another option is you could always take voice lessons if you want to improve.

I have thought of voice lessons when I first started with TAC. My voice sucked. My voice would crack, the dogs would howl. But, I found my real problem was, I hadn’t tried to sing in a long, long time. Like I just told @Danny L , Listen to the community in ‘play for us’ forum. It really helped me out.

When I first started playing the guitar again (a little over a year ago) I tried singing along with the song. What a mess, I couldn’t believe my voice couldn’t do it. NOT AT ALL. What I found that helped me is listening to songs people from the community play and sing. We are all non-professionals (I think), we haven’t had voice lessons. So we just sing. I found everyone I listened to, could keep a tone to the song they were playing. They might not be hitting those high notes or low notes that the original band does, but the community singers made the song sound great. Scroll through the ‘play with us’ and find a song you like, listen and sing along. Even if it’s a little under you breath your exercising those voice strings.
