    I can sing Pretty Woman really well. I have been told I can emulate Roy's voice while singing in that tone.
    I can play Pretty Woman on bass very good. I've got it down by 20x repetitions each session I practice it.
    But, playing & singing that song is a challenge. I do sing & play other songs, like Sea of Love, Suzy Q, Neon Moon, Your Sixteen & others.

    Any tips for better playing & singing? I've read a few but I'd like some fresh experiences here.

    Thanks.

    Sorry, but what's your problem exactly? Is it playing and singing at the same time? If so, there's a few things you can do to help. The one that helped me when I started singing harmonies, was to quote poems, speeches, or just talk while I was playing. It sounds silly, I know, but it does work.

    Sounds like that's my solution. Thanks.
