Singing and playing guitar at the same time is tricky. But singing WHAT you play on guitar is trickier still. This guitar lesson is part 7 of my How to Improvise on Guitar series, and in it we look at singing what you play on guitar as a method of improving our skills of improvisation.

Singing what you play on guitar is a useful approach to improvising that is embraced most commonly by jazz musicians. That said, singing the notes that you play can be just as useful in many other styles of music too.

Because the guitar is a very visual instrument we can easily find ourselves thinking a little too much in terms of shapes or scale patterns, and too little in terms of the actual sounds that we create in our improvising.

Singing what we play helps us to focus more on the sounds of the notes that we play when we improvise.

Singing and playing the guitar at the same time, in any form, takes practice so don't give up if you find you can't do it straight away.

Start with some simple improvising with a familiar scale such as the minor pentatonic scale: [ Ссылка ]

If at first you find it hard to sing what you improvise, focus on playing and singing the notes of the scale one at a time and in order. Go all the way up the scale and then all the way back down. As you get better at this, you can gradually move into simple improvising.

Singing the notes you play when you improvise on guitar, takes time to get the hang of but it's well worth the effort! If this is an approach to improvising that you have yet to explore, put it into your guitar practice regime!
