Accompany yourself on guitar while singing!
An example video created for a student.
Hello! I hope you find this material helpful for your own personal music journey.
It’s pretty challenging to be a professional guitarist as you might imagine! I’ve been using the paulelwood.com website as a repository for my lessons and tutorials but I’ve recently moved over to www.patreon.com/guitarcat. Patreon offers artists and musicians a way to monetize their work by making it easy for subscribers to provide a little financial support monthly.
If you like my stuff and you’re interested in helping to support a veteran and guitar instructor- hey! That’s a twofer! Please do consider subscribing to my Patreon channel.
$5/month gets you access to all my existing videos, lessons and tutorials plus four new video song lessons every single month, with supporting material. And as a patron of Paul Elwood Guitar Coach, your suggestions for song demos, lessons and technique tutorials determine what I’m going to work on next! Want to see how to play a solo fingerstyle version of your favorite tune? just let me know!
So, if you find my stuff is useful, help a brother out and let’s get working on your next tune. See you soon!
It’s not hard to get started singing and playing guitar!
About half my students are interested in accompanying themselves on guitar while they sing, so that becomes a part of our regimen along with guitar and uke studies. It’s not hard and it’s a lot of fun! I find that most people interested in singing and playing guitar just need a little encouragement and some direction, and this can be done online as easily as in person. The advantage of the online lesson is that you get video of the sessions along with the other study materials. And to make sure I’m a good fit for you, your first online lesson is FREE!
You’re probably interested in playing a particular song. I’ll break it down into manageable sections and we tackle it one piece at a time, at a comfortable speed for you. During the online lesson I’ll help you figure out any parts you’re having trouble with. Split screen video show both hands and my face, so you can hear and see just what I’m doing. I will record video at your request and post it for you to review after the lesson.
Let me know if you’re interested in hearing more about online singing/accompaniment lessons with me.
And you get one free lesson after all! What have you got to lose???
If you’re interested in learning guitar or learning to play guitar better, I’m your guy. I live in New Jersey but teach online guitar lessons coast-to-coast. If you’d like to see if I’m a good fit for you, the first online lesson is free! Nothing to lose except a little time, and we’ll both enjoy meeting a fellow guitar enthusiast. The blog here has song video, chord and lyric sheets, tablature, audio and midi files, musescore files, and traditional notation… a little something for everybody.
