At one point, in my long life, sometime in the ‘70’s,  I aspired to be a back up singer for Sonny and Cher. Seriously. They got divorced and my dreams became only dreams. lol. I never put my music education into practice as life and hard knocks took me down a different path. I became a nurse and spent 30 years as a waitress with keys to the med cart. lol.  I sing with my ukulele but it’s more comical than musical. Lol

I play a lot by singing in my head or on mute.... and when someone asks you to play a piece, it's often embarrassing!]]> General Discussion Thib https://countryguitaronline.com/community/general-discussion/singing/#post-4007865 https://countryguitaronline.com/community/general-discussion/singing/#post-4007834 Sat, 09 Dec 2023 22:50:14 +0000 I would like to see some lessons about singing. I know you can sing although I don't find anything under your name (although I haven't looked, either). Again, this is with the Stapleton and other accomplished musicians. They have a set strumming pattern while singing a song. The strumming doesn't hit like most of songs on a specific word for the chord progression. THere is a chord progression, which seems to last through song the entire song as the singer sings whenever the words fall into their lyrical algorithm instead of changing on a beat within the lyrics. Any thoughts from anyone. Would love to hear and thank you all for reading!

Great Topic
