  1. Hello, Not sure if this is the right section to post this but hoping someone could help me out. I am a solo performer (guitar/vocals) looking to find the best app for viewing lyrics on my ipad. I have memorized most of the songs in my set but some I can never quite remember. I have been using Dropbox for the past 4 years but they keep needlessly updating it. It has now become unusable. Before I could pull up lyrics to any song in under 5 seconds through a list of 500. Now it takes much longer.. And time in between songs is precious. I was saving lyrics in MS Word and loading them into Dropbox. Perhaps this is an ancient technique but it worked well for me. Anyone have any recommendations? Ease of use and timing is huge for me. Don't want to be searching & scrolling for too long. I would prefer to not have to re-write all the lyrics documents I have saved if that's possible. And I don't need any guitar tab or chords, just the lyrics. Thanks for reading! Cheers
  2. Wow, so many great posts. I'm overwhelmed with great advice Thank you all for your input!!
  3. Hello everybody, My name is Paul. This is my first post. I’m sure this has been discussed many times already.. I have been working as a singer/guitarist for approximately 15 years both in bands and more recently as a solo acoustic performer. I have always perceived myself as an average singer, but a far better guitarist. Lately I have come to the point where I am no longer having fun performing like I used to. I feel like the lack of confidence in my voice is holding me back from reaching the next level. I am hesitant to accept or pursue higher end gigs in fear of rejection, and end up sticking to the same set of venues that I have been playing for years. I generally perform 3 or 4 nights a week, usually 3 hour gigs. I went to a vocal coach 2 years ago and may have benefited from some breathing exercises, but I stopped going because I felt like I was not improving. My pitch has never been a problem, especially since I started playing solo and can hear myself much better. However, if I am having an off night, I tend to tighten up and I am unable to hold notes and my pitch can become erratic. This is extremely frustrating, because I am aware if I hit a bad note and it sends me spiraling into a negative mindset. Often my shows are an emotional rollercoaster. I have developed a lot of bad habits over the years and it has become overwhelming to adjust. My wife has suggested that I try a public speaking course to help ease my nerves.. I have also considered self-help strategies to promote confidence and positive thinking. I am tired of being my own worst critic and defeating myself by dwelling on the negative parts of my performances. Any suggestions to help battle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
