It's all about muscle memory. You have to be able to play without thinking about it. I fronted a band for years while playing bass. Talk about difficult. Several times. I opened my mouth and hoped the right lyrics came out. Just don't pressure yourself, it will come.

[@melfhlzahlpd]

I just started learning drums and so far the hardest part it limb independence. That's similar to what you're saying here, everything has to go at it's own time. I've wanted to play and sing together for so long! I hope these skills overlap

[@dougrhatigan1661]

You rock ! Love it man

[@martincote7000]

Little tip that helped me tremendously when I first started Dont try to sing the lyrics right away. Just take your most confortable sound you can make and play it over the chords. Mmmmh, lip bubbles, aaaah, buuuh or whatever suits you the best. Once you can do that easily, start to add the lyrics

[@MrNgcovelli]

Another master lesson from the master. Love the journey btw! Mine has traveled the world with me. Also, Carry on bag is the best! Thank you Ian!

[@MrYatesj1]

Per Usual, a Great Lesson!!

[@stanphillips7277]

As a beginner after a few months of practicing for hours a day I had basic chords down but couldn't sing along with myself until I started tapping my foot and concentrating on my foot helped me to split my attentions between chord changes and singing. Concentrating on my foot helped a lot. Some songs are more difficult I've found.Some take me out of my comfort zone like Bush Machine Head. It seems to be out of sync with the singing so learning to Fly should be a good confidence builder and if you encounter some down the line that you still find it's hard to do both first be patient and then don't kick yourself if it doesn't come as naturally. Like your video Stich and your way sounds right. I didn't have a metronome when I started. Or a drum machine. Good video, I did see this 👍 and I'll give you one.

[@rustyguitarL6]

i like this and hear about the same thing when i ask someone else the same question how to sing and play at the same time. so currently i am working on improving guitar playing so it more natural and i dont have to think about what im doing on the guitar to sing. but thanks for the tips and help

[@shutinjohn]

Thanks, Ian. For me it’s learning ALL the words. Dang, I screw up every time.

[@highseassailor]

This is excellent content, & your voice is quite capable. ❤ Thank you for the lesson, I'm now a subscriber!

[@nicholasmoore7659]

Great video. I've been working on this more and more lately.

[@maryannedwards5424]

Yes!🎸😻 It was recording 🙆 Mary Ann

[@marycarr7038]

Beautiful guitar 🎸😍

[@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611]

8th note strumming was for me. The easiest to sing to. My problem happend on syncopated strumming.. when the ghost strum took place, I lost the vocals instantly.

[@underglas681]

That thumbs up, just proved we are living in a simulation 😅

[@StichMethodGuitar]

😂😂 it was so weird when it happened

[@dogzillamonster]

Cool lesson. I think the pre vocals lip-licking helped too?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Absolutely! Gotta wet the whistle

[@windrider65]

Getting the strumming hand to work with the fretting hand is hard enough, now try singing at the same time is near impossible, at least for me.

[@THE_WOAT]

Awesome video that appears to have been shot at 1313 Mockingbird lane. 😆

[@StichMethodGuitar]

That is the vibe I wanted.

[@THE_WOAT]

@@StichMethodGuitar We have shown our age 😂

[@highseassailor]

Wonder now, if knowing the lyrics by heart (like you mentioned knowing chord structure) if this might help engage the nuralplasticity required for the chords muscle memory development???

[@lucasmembrane4763]

Is there a reason why the 2nd finger was moved from 2nd fret of 4th string to 2nd fret of 4th string when going from C to Am?

[@timothy5974]

I can’t play and sing the lyrics, but I can whistle the vocal lines. 🤷‍♂️ Have you ever heard of this ? Thanx for your lessons.

[@vaevak418]

all i could think of (as someone who does all 3) is maybe you arn’t as comfortable singing as you are whistling and guitar? I never have to think about the singing, but adding it to the playing caused an overload of information i guess. maybe try humming?

[@Elienguitar]

My biggiest issue is I "have" to play the song exactly the way it's written, which is why I make a better sideman to a singer.

[@ovenkloven]

Do it slow, slower and the slowest of slow. And then it works. Believe me

[@jessejensen4204]

Did you get a new Mac? Some of my coworkers have been accidentally triggering effects like that in meetings!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Yes I did!

[@coastercook]

Thanks for the lesson, but I kind of disagree with your thoughts on how the voice supports the guitar. I feel every instrument in a song is there to support the vocalist. The voice is the song. As guitar players, we elevate the guitar too much. Thanks again for the lesson.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I think I say the voice sits on top of the guitar. Unless I’m wrong I do believe i said the guitar supports the vocals and the vocals are on top of the guitar.

[@DenariusHaveNarius]

Yeah, don't think stich meant the guitar is the centerpiece or star of the show (unless it's David Gilmour of course).

[@Sandman60077]

Are you in a haunted house?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Yea
