Thanks @KevinZ – I doubt I’d be accused of having a party if I played and sang outside. I’m meek as a mouse and play softly and whisper/sing. I don’t have enough confidence to play any other way. I tend to speak softly to, or so I’m told, so my singing is just extension of my normal way of talking. I don’t like the feeling of yelling when I raise my voice.

Thanks @Guitargeezer-Jack . I’ll try to find the YouTube videos.

Thank you @Christopher_H ! Hope you are doing well.

[Loraine]

Yeah, but the app doesn’t open up. I just get a banner and nothing more.

[Loraine]

Well, I downloaded to iPad, but it isn’t showing screen correctly. This is what I get.

@HowardM and @Cadgirl I never thought of using my tuner for vocals either. How does that work? It doesn’t register me talking or singing. Is it a special tuner?

[Loraine]

Yes, sounded is a word. 🙂

[Loraine]

That’s awesome @Cadgirl . You did this by ear? Very impressive.

[Loraine]

Yup, got my shades, umbrella and drink all ready.😎

[Loraine]

Good to see you @the-old-coach , and smart a$$’ are more than welcome.

[Loraine]

Very good point @MikeGaurnier ! Sing from the diaphragm. Breathing in general is so underrated.

@Cadgirl Youre cracking me up. Such visuals, but I have faith in you! Go out and have some fun with it. I just returned from 2 weeks in Virginia at UVA taking industry course for company. I took guitar with me, but I was so self conscious that others could hear me, and I’m not that good. I played strumming with just my barehands, until one day I was tired of the restraint and I used a pick. Probably still played lightly so as not to have management or the police called. It felt good, and I figured these people don’t know me from Jack. My deck is a little different story, but I’ll give it a go.

@ChuckS I hear you regarding the weather. Hot, humid and extremely dry (just outside Philly), but I’m going to try it. My porch was turned into a foyer years ago, but I have a nice deck out back. I haven’t been brave enough to play outside yet, because I don’t feel skilled enough. No time like the present to overcome that fear.

@mike58 Thanks so much! I’ve continued to play it, and it sounds so much better now.

[Loraine]

Thank you so much for your pointing out areas of improvement @MikeGaurnier ! This guitar thing does not come easily to me, and I feel I have to work twice as hard to see strides, albeit slow but hopefully steady strides. I have a difficult time projecting my voice, but I’m working on it, and I was pleased with this one.
