Beginners simultaneous guitar and vocal exercise.
This is a very simple exercise to get you started playing and singing.
The first thing you need is metronome of drum machine to keep your time. Eventually you can just tap your foot when you’ve developed an internal meter. But, for the time being it’s important that you learn to do both at the same time to a strict time keeping device.
Now, simply pick one chord or on your guitar or note on your bass guitar. Make up something rhythmically with just that one chord or note to the beat. It doesn’t have to be a virtuoso riff, we are going for ease and simplicity here.
Play that one chord or note over and over to the time until you can repeat it without much thought.
Now while continuing that start to sing some lyrics off the top of your head. Make sure to keep them in key and that they make sense rhythmically.
The next post will be building on this exercise.
