Ok, so first off I am a terrible singer. I mean rotten, my family makes fun of me bad.

So I show up to my first guitar lesson in years, and tell the teacher that I cant sing, no hope, etc..... She players some notes are her guitar and asks me to match them with my voice. Guess what happened? I matched them, some I was off by an octave but off the same way every time. Every note was close, and consistent. She does not teach vocals, but then told me I could do something that 90% of her students could not, and that what I needed was a vocal coach, probably not alot of lessons, just enough to know where I was off at in my vocal register, and what exercises to use with a tuner to correct it. I did that, and it worked.

A year later I am beginning to sing at open jams and I dont suck. I am not great, but I dont suck. Now it is a matter of improving my vocal character not tone or pitch. So my advice is get a vocal coach, and not an online one.
