How To Sing Along While Playing Your Acoustic Guitar

Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced guitarist, adding the lyrics and tune to a new song can be a challenge. Try these 5 steps to help you successfully sing along!
1. Listen to the song when not playing your guitar (i.e. while cooking, driving, etc.)
2. Gain your song playing skills. Play just the music (no singing) frequently.
3. Hum the tune while playing the song, and even picture the lyrics as you’re humming.
4. Add in the lyrics, try 1 line at a time (note: if this step is a little wonky, go to step 5)
5. ‘Jam’ along with the original artist, let them do the singing, then repeat step 4.

No Tricks, Just the Treat of Steel String Facts!

Steel strings* are designed with material and gauge variations to enhance playing styles and sounds. For example, phosphor bronze strings have a mellow sound, while 80/20 strings have a brighter sound. Lighter gauge strings are great for fingerstyle and lead players, while heavier gauges are best suited for hard strumming. It’s a good idea to play around with different brands, materials and sizes to find your steel string sweet spot!
