another question....some people say singing is like a switch in your head, one day you can just do it...and others say it takes practice with every single song...

i know with strumming, one day i could just DO it, and not even think....ddoes it get to a point where you could learn to sing a song in an hour or so instead of a month?

Jay , i've known people who had been playing for years , and still couldn't sing , so no its not something thats wrong with you , you just need to get the brain to process all that info at once , and that only comes with practice ....

Start with some easy songs , they don't have to be DMB songs , but some easy progression songs with only a few chords , learn them and step into the harder songs as you start feeling more and more comfortable with it , and then when you think its time to try something a bit more difficult , go for DMB songs :)

That up to the individual again , we all think in different lanes , some gets it into their head faster than others , but the keyword is and always will be , if you wanna move forward , you gotta PRACTICE :)

Maybe you didn't wanna hear the words years , but would you rather want me to lie and say , 10 minutes from now and you will get it lol ?

I didn't say that it would absolutely take YOU years , but i know a couple people , but maybe you will get it within days man , praying can do alot for you sometimes , maybe you should try it ? :)
