The only thing I can recomend is you have some means of recording yourself singing, and listening it to it, you will be able to highlight a lot more easily where you are going wrong.

As for singing and playing at the same time, I suppose it would help just to know the song inside out so that playing it just comes naturally so you can focus purely on singing.

1. Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan

2. The White Album - The Beatles

3. Electro Shock Blues - EELS

Nope, I think your thinking of Tom McRae, well he played St.Machar anyway.

Can anyone recomend a Tom Waits album that is worth getting. I only have Rain Dogs an I'm totally in love with it.

So what would be the next advisable purchase?

Go to Prosound Music on Holburn St. Mainly a drum shop, but I believe they've just poached Neil from Bruce Millers to do guitar repairs. They're a new company so will more than likely do you a good deal and good service. Just down from the Malt Mill. Phone 211311.

If they've got Neil from Bruceys then I'd definatley recomend this place, he is one guy who certainly knows his stuff

Learning the Sitar has always seemed interesting

Just go about finding what key it is first then just take if one chord at a time. I suppose you do need to develop an ear for it though, when i first started playing I didnt have any hope for working out any song. Now its almost second nature.
