In fact I think this is great because I am able to concentrate on practising my singing instead of strumming. So if you are a guitar player and you feel that it is hard to play and sing at the same time, you should always try the (D,D,D,D) 4/4 strumming pattern.
Try it slowly. Play the song through before singing. Once you're confident of the chords, then you can add in the singing.
Well, playing the guitar and singing requires practise. Although I am not vocally trained, I still reckoned that the best way to improve your singing is to sing it out loud.
If possible try to imitate how people sing. Thirdly, join the choir or worship team. You always learn new singing techniques, for example use your diaphragm to push your vocals instead of using your throat.
Fourthly and most importantly, enjoy yourself when singing. Well of course when you sing unto the Lord, sing with all your heart and that's what matters most. I am sure that the Lord hears and He is well pleased.
It is alright to be an average singer or guitar player now and there is nothing to be shy about because everyone has to start somewhere from below and besides there is always room for improvement. :) So don't sweat it if you can't sing like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston.
The fourth song I am singing is One Voice and I love this song because it's powerful, meaningful and relevant.
