Re: Guitar playing and singing......
I've never been the main singer but I sing a lot, not just backup, so none of the above.

Backup vocals, on account that no one else can do backup because their voices sound horrible. Or maybe because I have a good voice for backup vocals. iono. whatever.

Re: Guitar playing and singing......
My voice is no where near good enough, IMO, to be a lead singer. I can have a pretty smooth voice if I want to, but it's more often than not a little rough. Not bad for rock, though. My downfall is range. I'm a baritone. With my vocal range, we'd likely have to tune to C, so I just stick to backing vocals. So, our drummer is singing vocals right now. Besides, he's a far better singer than the rest of us.

Don't have much of a range or quality in my voice, I'm only a baritone. Any high parts I end up sounding like Minnie Mouse! Plus my timing goes off when I sing and play. I do sing at practice alot when our lead singer is late or MIA, just to give the others something to follow.

Re: Guitar playing and singing......
I'm the main singer in my band, the other two do backup. Not really by choice, and I've never considered myself a vocalist, but I'm the only one that knows the words to the songs, since I'm the one picking them. It's easier for me to sing if I'm playing guitar (sometimes I can't find a bass player, so I have to bring a guitarist in and I handle the bass), but it doesn't really matter to me. I can sing when I'm drumming, too. I just don't do that very often.

Re: Guitar playing and singing......
I am the lead singer in my band. Mostly play rhythm but do have some solos. Lead guitarist and bass player(girl) sing backups. Not to be braging or anything but I am very confident in my singing ability. Have won many singing competions. A lot of you are better guitar players than singers, I'm a lot better singer than I am guitar player.

Re: Guitar playing and singing......
Exactly the same here (even the girl bass player), exept for the confidence in singning and winning competitions.
I started singing because we didn't have a singer and according to the rest my voice was the least annoying to listen to.
Now I'm thinking about taking some lessons.
Guitar playing is a lot of fun when you sing with it IMHO and it's good exercise at the same time.
