Not only that I’m trying to get better at guitar, I’m also trying to get better at singing. I would admit, that I was never really professionally trained vocally…but that’s okay. Most singers out there aren’t professionally trained, they just do it. Many of my favorite singers were never professionally trained like Neil Young and Kurt Cobain for example. I learned that if singing is what you want to do, then go ahead and do it. It doesn’t matter if your voice sounds good or not, it’s the songs that mattered, in my opinion.
Now I’m not looking to sing like Robert Plant or Barry Manilow or anything like that, I am still look to improve my singing some. My goal is that I would like sing high notes which is what I can never do. I am practicing and learning though. I’ve been working with “Metal Method’s Vocal Power” DVD and it really works. That instructional vocal DVD really does help make your voice a little stronger.
Singing is fun. I enjoy it. I learned that if you write your own originals, you sing ’em yourself. To me it doesn’t make any sense when people write lyrics and have someone else sing them. If you create it, you do the job yourself. I sing every day just like I play the guitar every day.
I know I’m not the best singer in the world. I just do it for fun but I would like to become better though.

So wait: then what do you think of the fact that Pete Townsend wrote all (or 99%) of the lyrics for the Who…but Roger Daltrey sang them?
