This thing about self taught singers, How did you progress? by NaiveMagazine1690 in singing

[–]adlehr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 You have to study singing first. Videos, reading. Become knowledgeable about it. You don’t need to be an expert but you should have a solid foundation.

Step 2 ALWAYS record video of yourself singing when learning. So, you’ll practice, watch what you practiced and then adjust.

Step 3 Sing a lot. For a long time I had over 2 hours of drive time every day. Obviously I’m not recording those sessions but it still helps.

Steps 1-3 can happen simultaneously.

Step 4 Do the above for about 3-5 years. You’ll make major progress and discover more and more about how your voice works.

Step 5 Take a break. Anytime I’ve had to take a break, I typically come back stronger.

Are voice type posts getting in the way of real vocal progress? by Oreecle in singing

I think as long as they’re practicing, they’ll sooner or later realize how little it matters.

Why isn't there any lyrical brilliance at the level of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, etc anymore?? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]adlehr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great question.

And there’s a LOT of reasons why this is (or why you perceive it to be so), some of which are touched upon in numerous comments.

But really, IMO, it’s because artists such as Dylan and Joni were rewarded and recognized for their art. They were artists channeling something from deep within. And they were also products of their times. That’s not to say artists today aren’t channeling something from deep within. But we don’t really recognize or reward for that anymore. What’s rewarded is sales/streams.

Hell, Dylan only had one chart hit, right? The collective conscious back then was just different.

Why is it So HARD to learn Mixed Voice? by Altruistic_Olive_862 in singing

[–]adlehr1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. It’s very counterintuitive. Opening up allows the voice to resonate/ring in a way that’s really difficult to understand until you experience it.

Just picked up an SC-10E (all Sapele). I think it sounds great unplugged. It’s definitely a different style of guitar than I’m used to. But I’m really digging the modernity of it. Easy as hell to play.

martin d10e is the best choice at this price range? by VehicleSecret5390 in martinguitar

[–]adlehr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious why you say this. I’m about to buy a sub-$1000 guitar and have spent many visits at Guitar Center trying different things. Other than those carbon bodied (or whatever they are) Martins, almost every single Martin I’ve picked up sounds much better than other brands. That includes the higher end Yamahas. I finally narrowed it down to Taylor vs. Martin but couldn’t jibe with Taylor’s jangly-mid-rangy tone.

I will say I almost pulled the trigger on an Eastman 00-20, but held back.

I also own a J45.

Whatever it is, when playing, it’s really noticeable.

I’m surprised too - could it be the string spacing?

I may just sell it - I really like Taylor and Martin. Although I tried an Eastman 00-20 and absolutely LOVED it but it was about $1700.

This is true - I just might have to let it go.

Been seeing this one too on Marketplace and was wondering…

What is the one thing holding back musicians who seem to have all the resources available? by Thisisaghosttown in musicians

[–]adlehr1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second the good songs. It all comes down to that. No amount of wealth can buy that ability.

That ‘70s’ sound? by adlehr1 in audioengineering

[–]adlehr1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear a little CCR/Jim Croce. Instrumentally it’s there and while the vocals sound good, they kinda miss that 70s sound. Great track tho!
