Read the words aloud 5 times to one part of the song. Turn the page over and repeat the words again without looking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Another effective technique is to write the song out by hand. (Yes, by hand, not on a computer) Once you done this re-write each line with fewer words. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>&#8220;There is a house in New Orleans&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;There is house Orleans&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;house Orleans&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By distilling the words down to the most memorable one or two words in each line it makes it easier to memorise each section. So your lyrics would read like cue cards. For example:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;house Orleans&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;rising sun&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;ruin, boy&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;god, one&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Capo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We use a capo to change the key (also know as the pitch or tone) of the song. This is especially useful if the song is too low or too high for our singing voices. Experiment with the capo positioning. You&#8217;ll probably end up with a common fret placement where your voice feels the most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Video 5 &#8211; <a class=\"bogd\" href=\"http:\/\/www.learnguitarinlondon.com\/index.php\/exercises-to-make-you-a-better-singing-guitarist-part-1\/\"><strong>Exercises to make you a better singing guitarist &#8211; Part 1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[contact-form-7 id=&#8221;10120&#8243;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here's an example of how to write out the words: To learn the words use these techniques: By far the [...]","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full-custom.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2151","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
