I decided to learn how to sing

Last year, I saw a clip of Pete Davidson on the Tonight Show where he mentioned he started taking singing lessons. He said it was because he thought it’d be cool to know how to sing really well and just casually shock his friends one day by singing a song amazingly out of nowhere. Ever since then I've had that idea in the back of my mind. Like wouldn't it be funny if you absolutely nailed a song while driving around with someone or at a karaoke night with friends.

So I decided to make that my new years resolution this year. Obviously I don't have thousands to spend on a vocal coach like Pete Davidson so I started out watching YouTube tutorials. Then I found this course put together by Melanie Alexander (melaniealexander.com here's the link to save you from searching for it). If you don't know who that is I don't blame you because I didn't either. She was in a girl band in the 90s and had a couple albums that went platinum. It seemed like she had the credentials so I went ahead and bought it, it was only $67 so I wasn't expecting the world.

The lessons have been helpful so far but the main reason I bought her course was because of the apps that came with it. One of the apps included interactive lessons and allowed you to practice tracks. The other was the most helpful though. It lets you test your vocal range and practice notes which is helping me work out where I'm going wrong.

I feel like I'm slowly improving and I'm contemplating starting a channel to post either progress videos or cover songs. I'm not quite confident enough to do that yet though lol but stay tuned because this post is a part 1. I'll post an update in a month or so when I feel like I'm good enough to actually put something out there to be judged.

Grand Funk Railroad in 1971. Always been a fan of these guys. Mark Don and Mel. I heard there concerts were something to see. Love the long jams. I’d love to hear your memories of them if you all have seen them live.

Garage Band called "The Choir"

I had snippets of the lyrics for this song "It's Cold Outside" bumping around in my head and decided to look them up. It's actually better than I remember it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBPfze2O6lk

Free. Paul Kossoff is one of my all time favorites. “Time Away” is a beautiful song from his first solo album. Paul Rodgers still singing and doesn’t sound any different than he did back then. Again I would’ve loved to live during this era of music

Van Halen is most of my earliest music memories other than Led Zeppelin. They came in my area in 2008 and I missed out on it. Woulda Coulda Shoulda. Thank god for the music. RIP Eddie. Thank you
