Hello Ken, You are really awesome. I'm 57 and I would have wish you could couch me, but now I lost a lot. You have a beautiful voice. God bless! Question: Can you do a video about singers over 70 years old. Like Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Sting and others. Why they can't reach their past high notes. I think at the moment that Sammy Haygar is the only one. Blessings from Puerto Rico. Al

@numberkruncherr 7 месяцев назад

I'm one of those people who started just playing guitar and then learned to sing. I consider myself to have zero natural singing talent, I was the kid who learned to just mouth the words when we had to sing in school, because I would get pained looks if I actually made a sound. I tried various self-teaching courses through the years (was too embarrassed to actually go to a singing teacher) and none of them worked for me. But these days I not only sing at jams and open mics, but I regularly get complimented on it. That massive change is pretty much down to just two things - Your singing course and a lot of practice. It was probably a couple of years of doing the exercises pretty much every day before I felt confident enough to try singing in front of an audience (and that audience was at my regular jam where I knew they would be tolerant and supportive), but eventually, I got there and haven't stopped since. Now I enjoy singing and I enjoy people's reactions to my singing, they are two of the great pleasures in my life, and I really doubt I would ever have had them without your teaching, so thank you very much. And if anyone who reads this is in the same "I wish I could sing" boat I used to be in, I say give it a go, it takes time and repetition, but it is totally worth it. Vibrato still pretty much eludes me though, but I think I may finally be getting hints of a proper natural vibrato, but how to develop it? I see from your website the course has been updated, I may need to upgrade.

He also put out a solo album The Year of the Tiger in 2018. And then he also sings and occasionally plays guitar for Slash's band Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

Ken, how could you leave off David Gilmour? He is number one on this list in my book, he may not have a lot of range to his voice, but it is very soothing and his guitar work gives me goosebumps.

The first person who comes to mind when thinking about guitarists who can sing is Tommy Shaw from Styx. I saw Styx 2 or 3 years ago and was thoroughly blown away. Tommy sounded as good or even better than he did in the 70s. Thank you for including for this great list!

@markyfekete 4 года назад

I am 100% shocked that Myles Kennedy wasn't in this mix. He and I hung out quite a bit during his teen years, and he played guitar, as a shredding lead player in the late 80s and early 90s era. He was even briefly in my band of 35+ years Amethyst, as our lead guitarist. The guy was very humble, but a great player. He even won an award at a guitar contest at a local Spokane music store around 91/92 era. But look at him now. He didn't even sing background vox for my band or any of his other Spokane younger year bands, until he joined Mayfield Four as their vocalist/guitarist... Then Mark Tremonti picked him up, and the rest is rock and roll history!

To me Dann Huff from 80's AOR band GIANT is a forgotten and underrated hero. He could sing really well and could shred with the best of them. Dann Huff is often associated with his session work on Eighties mega-hits, including Madonna’s "Like a Prayer,” Michael Jackson’s "Man in the Mirror” and, of course, that “Danger Zone” guitar solo.

I'm so happy you included Lindsey Buckingham, his live performance of "I'm so afraid" resonated with me as a child and still to this day I can get "lost" in the moment of it. I love all your vlogs but I'm still trying to get through your "How did I become Ken Tamplin". i believe every word you say, but I sadly I can't believe in God. My attention deficit disorder and my tinnitus means I have to break every vlog into smaller pieces, but thanks so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate it and it's helping me learn about singers, music and production techniques.
