Personally, I use the vocal workout in Anne Peckham's "The Contemporary Singer: Elements of Vocal Technique".I started with this method, and in a few weeks I had people coming up and asking what the hell happened to my voice. Never practiced before, just sang. Now, many methods later, I can relate to those saying that it is not the method, but the systematically hours put into it that counts. That said: It's also important to be ware of what you want with your singing. For me, being a cover artist, copying other artists was very useful in creating the different techniques I needed to be able to deliver variety in my show. Cover artists that sing in a very limited range with one style and one sound/tessitura/voice tends to be very boring to listen to. AC/DC and Johnny Cash It is supposed to sound different. I would also recommend copying other singers if you want to have a few techniues to choose from. Try saying that a guitar player don't learn other guitarists techniques, it would be insane and don't make sense!

Depends on what style of music you want to do. That being said, I highly recommend Ken Tamplin, Jamie Vendera, or Rob Lunte. Stay away from "Singing Success"....useless IMO!Some people have found "Singing Success" helpful. I have used it a lot and found it as a good tool for range building and general singing in low to medium volume. But for heavy rock singing it's useless, unless you ignore the "no need for support" thing. And it's got lots of excercises that are very similar to other methods.

Headvoice and falsetto can have very similar sound, and commandos clip probably was what he said. The difference lies in the vocals, some of them are more difficult to zip, easiest with a hum, as in the clip. Hardest is the more resonant vocals. All I can say about transitions is practice them all the time both head and falsetto. Practice also when you have a bad singing day so you learn how to control your voice with different mechanisms, then you have control anytime. Don't think so much head/falsetto but more resonance and tone. For me I sing some notes in falsetto which other days are sung head, simply because the it's easier one or another way. And it's not important as long as the desired effect is reached.

Whenever I went to someones party, I used to carry my guitar with me. (Still do) One time we ended up 2 girls and me in the end, and they actually started fighting over me, it was totally insane!!!! The girl that "won" had told me that I could sleep on her sofa, and that I wouldn't get any action (and most often when girls clearly states "no action", there will be some action... ) But when the other girl wanted to sleep on the other sofa, she ordered me to sleep in her bed, to keep me safe from that other girl!! Then they started to argue, and it all ended with the other girl walking home, and action for me. I guess the adrenaline and competive instinct worked wonders for me!!! All this for banging a few cords on a sad song and throwing my dogs eyes...

I once showed up with my guitar at my sisters birthday and this girl started following me when I went to the bathroom and stuff. She ended up in bed with me, and all night we could hear her boyfriend crying from downstairs in the sofa... Everyone at the party was mad at me for her not being able to keep her hands off me. What could I do????

Originally posted by BndGrl [Nice pictures] Hey, my tensed shoulders just fell down. This reminds me of a gig I had some weeks ago. A girl taller that me came up asking for requests. I'm a small guy and she had a top that showed a lot. In the break we stood talking and she had to remind me of looking into her eyes several times as we stood there..

We drank some more and sang and played and smoked and THEN WE {censored}ED FOR HOURS, FOR GODS SAKE! YES! End Ahhh, what a relief!!!!

OK, if you can't beat them..... I had a gig and when I packed up my stuff a girl that looked just like Angelina Jolie commented "nice ass!" everytime I bent down to pick up something. We shared a beer, and for once sake a girl bothered to stick around 'till I was finished packing up. Then we went home on a after party with my cousin.... ...more to come...

Originally posted by guitarcapo I'm not going to start my groupie story until this one is finished. I have a couple of stories too, but I'll wait as well...

Originally posted by Hardtailed I quickly realized that I had the WRONG WRONG WRONG idea. He wasn't interested in musical gear, he was interested in my "man gear" Some guy once came up to the stage, and I thought he was about to shout a request in my ear when I suddenly felt a wet thounge tickling my eardrum....
