I find singing along while playing guitar to be fun, but I'm not sure I could ever be a lead singer (I'm not that confident yet and I don't think I have a good voice in terms of tone or anything like that).

I think maybe i'll try and figure out the harmony vocals to those Alice in chains songs, i have noticed that they have awesome harmonies in most of their songs.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/singing-harmonies/#post-110904 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/singing-harmonies/#post-110901 Wed, 13 Jul 2005 05:25:36 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Illicit https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/singing-harmonies/#post-110901 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/singing-harmonies/#post-110895 Wed, 13 Jul 2005 05:04:18 +0000
Usually, if I'm trying to do a particular harmony, I'll go through it on the guitar first, and learn the harmony line as though it were a melody line, and then practice that on its own. Once I get that down, I'll start trying to sing it over the original line. I used to try and do it by listening for the harmony between the two lines, but I found that my ear wasn't quite up to scratch :cry: so now I do it this way, and I find that it helps my ear training too :D

btw, if you're looking for some good songs to sing for harmony practice, try listening to some of The Eagles stuff or the Red Hot Chili Peppers :)

The thing I did was to sing some of my own simple melodies and then multitrack a backing voice. At first I needed to get some notes from my guitar, but eventually I could do basic fifth and third harmonies by heart.

So what are your experiences with doing backup harmonies? Do you work from relative pitch or do you think of a note to hit in the chord. Maybe you stay on one note and maybe you jump around in the scale doing a countermelody. Tell me about it!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Illicit https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/singing-harmonies/#post-10226
