A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his UA-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

what a pleasure to sit and talk.... while driving
The way you explained how all of it comes together is exactly the experience Ive had. First came the fluidity on the Guitar, then my ear , then the whole mechanical thing. The singing slowly fell into place. Ive also developed to the point where I can sit at a Piano and play simple arrangements by ear. Amazing thing the way the mind works.
Holy Shi* -- the play only on the 1st beat to learn the rhythm is genius! I have really been struggling with rhythm and fell flat on my face trying to sing at a country jam because I didn't know the songs well ebnough and couldn't fake my way through where to change chords. . I tried your suggestion on some songs to practice and it was hard at first but it really started to click. Switch chords on the first beat too! Geez, no one ever really explained that, the chord changes were suddenly something I could feel instead of trying to memorize where in the vocals the chord switched. I also tried a metronome app that lets me only play the first beat and the other three beats are silent, that's a (good) beating as well!! I sound like an idiot but something really clicked here, THANKS GUYS!
Happy to help!
You don't sound like an idiot. You sound inspiring.
Been working on this a lot lately. All it basically comes down to is just practice/repetition. At first it seemed impossible to do but just powered through it and have improved so much in the last couple of months. I have tried to have a conversation with someone while playing though and I just can't do it! Anyway great tips guys! ✌️
Same here. All practice, ear and muscle memory.
I'm OK at guitar, below avg at singing, and really bad at doing both simultaneously.
That's ok, cause that's 2 +1,and that's 3.
It's all about the changes and pauses in the song. Not all songs can be played and sung at same time.
@@darrellmcdonald7883 there are a handful of songs I've had luck with - Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry is probably my best.
@nicolasmoore learn as many Tom petty songs you can. He is the master of keeping it simple. Also learn country songs or any singer songwriter stuff. Most of the songs were written with just a singer playing a guitar.
You can try this, sean was told it. And now on im not only can play guitar while im singing, im also can play guitar while im roasting people.
Thanks Shawn & Andres! It is so hard when you start to try this. Very helpful. WE ARE SO LUCKY.
You're very learned, Sean! I throughly enjoy the wisdom I get from your content.
Great tips to get started with singing and playing. Thank you both!
Thank you for the lesson SD and Andres! This was just what i was looking for. Time to give the melodic shred a rest and practise playing and singing. Been ducking it for the last 5 years lol!!
One of my go to youtubers in one single video.. Helpful lesson as always.. :)
I love this!!! Thank u guys very much!!!!
This is the only channel where I learn something every time. Thanks
Sean...u should totally do a rhythm course on YT one day. U r such a good teacher & so talented. I've watched ur videos for a long time & have learnt alot. But myself, I am better at lead than rhythm becuz my hands would start to hurt very bad so I'd quit & start working on lead. Idk what I'm doing wrong! But I'm DEF doing something wrong. Thank u again for all the videos & the help that U have given the ones of us struggling.
Excellent tips
Good stuff!Thanks!
more singing tips please!
Yo, Sean!
Anymore Elliott Smith lesson videos into the future? Maaaybe Condor Ave.?
His songs are really tricky to sing to as well. Even simpler ones like 2:45 AM.
Anyway, thanks for your work and all you do. Subbed to Andres as well. Keep up the great work guys! 🤘
I feel like I could hang out with these guys all night and not get a word in, ha ha, great lesson, thanks
Haha, yup
Quality vid on a topic that most people are too shy to ask about. Excellent. :)
Thanks so much for saying so!
I didn't realize it until now, but Andres really reminds me of Muddy Waters haha. A pleasant and great lesson as always!
Aguas Fangosas
That's why he's the man.
@@seandaniel23 Very true
@@mellowgeekstudio Ayyyy
I sing and play together. I started out as a singer/bassist and learned to play to play guitar about a year later.
I'm writing this while driving. Thanks for the inspiration. JK. Being able to sing and play at the same time just came with practice practice practice. Now it's become almost natural, I can separate the two which is key. I don't even think about it anymore. And often thinking about is a problem in itself. I can finally read music on the fly, play it, and sing the lyrics. It's a very wonderful thing! People ask me to play for them now, which honestly is very humbling.
lovely content
I’m at the stage where I want to learn how to sing and play Riffs at the same time. Especially songs where the guitar solo comes on but vocals still have to be sung.
I think you’re hitting on It Sean. It’s not about concentrating on the words. It’s not not about concentrating on the chord. It’s about concentrating on the beat. It’s really 3 things at once, and as with all things music, rhythmic context is always the pinnacle of importance
The goal being to be able to play and sing...while watching a Sean Daniel youtube video of him texting and singing while driving...And eating an ice cream cone...
usually i try to learn a song on guitar so well it feels like somebody else is playing it - then I can start "singing". and it is more complicated when the singing does not start at the 1 (like Polly, Nirvana)
I really needed this video, I am in the process of producing my first songs and am struggling with this, and vocal practice. Thanks Sean👌👌🙏
make a video on how to write lyrics
For me, there was a huge difference between playing other people's songs/singing & writing my own. Each had their own pros & cons. With other people's songs, you can kinda do both independently & slowly work the 2 together. As for writing my own songs, I looked at it like doing leads, simple rhythms during the lyrics(leads, mainly so they don't stomp on each other). Then more complex attention grabbing rhythm when they have to stand alone. Recording & playing along to either helps too... Hope all is well, take it easy...
That is wath drives me crazy. How does one even practice this stuff. It looks imposible when traying doing it togheter.
Sean I am singing in tune but my tone is still pretty mediocre is there anything i can do
I'm not Sean but I would recommend you to try imitating a singer you like (it's better if you do this with a lot of singers). He or she is doing certain coordinations (like placement of sound, intensity of sound, vowels, etc) try to copy them. Record yourself a lot while doing this. Over time you'll start to identify which sounds sound good or pleasant and also the ones that do not sound good.
Hope it helps
How do I practice singing while playing riffs instead of chord changes?
Maybe start by singing the riffs? Honestly idk but it would be awesome!!
I usially find riffs buy singing them first. I mean isnt it a melody anyway?
My singing loses something when I play guitar. I can do it, but not.pretty lol. I also.have a but of am odd.voice which keeps me from practicing as much as I'd like. the few people who have heard me sing said they liked it and it was different . Maybe it's in my head, but i.feel like I can only have feeling in 1 or the other
this is easy, but how do you sing while fingerstyling
💪
Do you have any advice for playing fingerstyle and singing?
Hi Kojo! I learned as a boy to play fingerstyle because my instructor didn't like strumming, so I learned different fingerpicking patterns. Even to this day I'd much rather fingerpick and sing. I also like it better if there is sometimes a story or something interesting to say about my song. Last evening I played at an open mic. As I was picking I said how strange it was I ended up without planning one day blending in an original song of mine, a song still in progress, with the cover song. Like with many other times I performed I often had a story or comment. I blended in my original song "Signals" and told the audience my song was influenced from when I was a child I tinkered with electronics and with 5 watts used Morse Code (dots and dashes type of communication) and in my song I pick so it sounds like a radio "signal" so to speak. I also sent, with my playing, actual Morse Code for the word "love".
What is my advice for fingerstyle and singing or talking? I play harmonica and fingerpick too. Maybe that's why I can talk or sing and fingerpick at the same time. Get a neck brace and play harmonica while you pick. Also I don't have to think too much about fingerpicking because I've done it for so long.
Now a year has passed since your comment. Have you found anything about why most can't talk and play at the same time? Is there some neurological reason for it? Maybe it's something with my brain ha! Let me know with your searching what you found out so far. Also, when you're practicing at home fingerpick and talk about anything, practice doing it. At home I just think of things to say that are interesting that relates to the song I hope to perform... but maybe I'm not interesting ha! For example... like during the part of the song I played last night, there is this part about hitchhiking to San Francisco, California. I say while I'm playing how I've hitched many times in my life and would love to hitch to "San Fran", then the lyrics go... "Thought I'd hitch a ride to San Francisco. Gotta do the things I wanna do"... Spelling might be bad because in English I'm using "slang" words, like "wanna" instead of "want to", or "gotta" instead of "got to".
Wow this is long! I hope I helped in some small way. Actually I played terribly last night and still now the next day feeling bad about it, thinking about what I could have done better, and about why I get so nervous and have a hard time controlling it, "stage fright".
Why do you always have a singer with you at gigs SEAN?
SEEEEEEEEEEEEAN?
I sing and play sometimes 🐰🎸🤘
watching this video while driving
@Andres. You are a talented musician and vocalist. I have watched several videos of your performances and I am definitely a fan. Have you considered trying a more "relaxed" look on camera than using all the product in your hair? This is not a criticism. I think you may be even more handsome and appealing without the product in your hair , while demonstrating your command of the instrument and your vocal range. Again, this is not a criticism. Consider it a suggestion. Ignore it if you don't like it. With much respect and a desire for even more success...God bless my friend.
John'sTropicalReflections you are right. I do love the more natural messy look like sean... I bough the wring product last time plus I need a haircut. I appreciated the constructive criticism. Also, should I grow my hair out or short? What do you think?
@@andrescolintv truth be told, I think you could pull off either look e.g. short or long. As a former hair stylist, and no - I'm not gay - you have the genetics and facial structure to pull off either look. Seriously brother, the world is your oyster. Great skin tone, mad talent, smooth voice..you've got the whole package amigo. Wishing you tons of success!
Ok. Was “Best of My Love” an accident or planned?
Okay, so I checked the only Sean Daniel Wikipedia page:
Sean Daniel (born August 15, 1951)[1] is an American film producer and movie executive.
I have to ask about the middle finger on your left hand. Your fingernail looks.... Broken. My right hand ring finger the roots of my nail are broken so my nail grows as 3 separate nails. I've never seen anyone else with this. Just curious
Ice cream chords... Who came up with that name for the I-vi-ii-V chord progression?
Once you get this, a challenge is to play and sing a song that doesn't have an easy default strumming pattern.
Hey, he does have a Wikipedia page. And who knew he supervised financing for "Coal Miner's Daughter?" Seriously, though, definitely going to try the tips in this video. I can't sing to save my life, but in the privacy of my own home, i'll try...
What is lacking here answer me please ...
If someone can play proper lead of a song and identify the key of a song but only 5 to 10% able to assign chords to it ... ???
Whats lacking is you need to actually play an instrument to inderstand how it works. Do you own a guitar?
Ice cream chords ?
It's funny how I don't have any problem with practicing scales or playing and watching or doing the same mentioned things while talking to someone, yet when it comes to singing and playing it all gets f***éd up.
you guys look like an album cover
Hahaha, i'll take it
Do you actually have a Wikipedia page?
I CAN sing and play guitar at the same time. My problem is that I can neither really sing nor play guitar.
Vegan ice cream chords
You know I love it!
1st
Practice patting your head , and rubbing your tummy . Lol that's how I practiced harmonica and guitar when I didnt feel up to playing. I'm now a pro of.patting the head rubbing the tummy ,but still not.that great at harmonica and guitar lol
He doesn't Brush his Hair and Drive... lol
very true
Let the other guy talk lol. Poor guy whats he there for.
it's difficult to sing with chords
mustaine , hetfield , hendrix : oh that's cute
Hope you are joking about texting and driving. That's like a confession of guilt. That could be used against you if you ever are in an accident. Just saying.
Otherwise s good lesson for beginners and fun video too!
Keith Richards famously admired that when required to play and sing on stage at the same time he plays air guitar (that's what Ronnie is for). As for all the distracted driving jokes I'm afraid you guys lost me there and then. Won't it be funny when the emergency services have to scrape your smug face off the back of some truck you just ran into?
Awkward moral high hat action going on in 50% of your comment. Good grief.
Lighten up Francis.
