Singing is more than just hitting the right notes, it is also learning how to project when you perform. If you do not know how to project, you could end up straining your voice. It is important that you learn singing more powerfully, before you add volume to your voice. The main issue that goes into a powerful singing voice is the amount of breath that you use. This is controlled by the diaphragm, a group of muscles that help out the lungs when you exhale. Getting control of your diaphragm is the easiest way to add volume to your voice.

I was sitting at the barber shop the other day. I noticed the guy sitting next to me was doing these strange movements with his fingers, like he had some kind of a nervous twitch or something. He noticed me watching him, and said he’d just started learning from this acoustic guitar lesson. In the course they recommended that you practice any chance you get, so he was practicing holding chords right there in the barber shop with his imaginary guitar. Now that is what I call dedication to your hobby. I don’t know if I could ever do that.

Knowing alternate picking techniques can really help you on your speed and also help you develop some discipline on accurate your picking is.  Many new players throw on some distortion and hope for the best. 

One thing that having children has really done for us is keeping us motivated to stay healthy.  I will grudgingly admit that we have been slacking off in the the fitness and health departments in the last couple of years or so, and the kids are now really pressing us to improve our health.  They went ahead and printed up some information on the nutrisystem vs medifast diet plans for us, and they told us they think we need to give one of them a try.  While it was a little bit discouraging to realize we had let ourselves get so out of shape and overweight, it makes us feel good knowing we are doing something about it.

There aren’t words to describe the difference this neck has made on my 10 top.
