Re: Vocal Lesson with Ken
Pure gold, Michael; thanks so much for sharing this!
I'm very impressed with your progress and also how many questions and subjects you were able to cover in this one lesson. It seems like your preparation paid off!
You're building quite a video library of great tips. Highlights for me were the Donny Hathaway and Al Green sections. Also, very cool to see the beginnings of growing that natural and healthy distortion!

Re: Hi Ken, divas, dudes - I have a question for you guitar players please!
Hi Vanessa,
Playing guitar to accompany your singing is a great idea, and one that will surely be inspiring and bring a lot of joy.
The guitar brands you mentioned are all notable manufacturers who make quality instruments at various price points. Having a cutaway is very beneficial when navigating the upper register of the fretboard; so that would indeed be a wise choice.
My best advice to you is: Play the instruments that interest you and evaluate how they feel and sound.
Some Aspects to Consider:
1) Make sure that the guitar is comfortable to hold in your fretboard hand. Guitar necks come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
2) Make sure that the guitar is comfortable where your picking hand rests on the instrument. Some guitars have rounded edges, others have sharp 90 degree edges.
3) Make sure it feels comfortable against your torso. Some guitars have contoured backs that provide a molded comfort, others are flat.
4) Make sure you like how the guitar sounds. The tone of each instrument can vary subtly or quite dramatically. The guitar should sound appealing acoustically and also when it's amplified.
5) And of course, make sure it's light enough so you can throw it in the air after a performance.
I wish you all the very best with your music-making journey!
