Hi to all the list:
this is the url where you can find
America's Tin Man played by me
in an horrifying way!
Dear Neil, why am I so lazy when I have to change left chord?
Sometime I feel very difficult to do
better than that you see!

Is there somebody who can tell me what's wrong in my singing America's Tin Man?
Hey Sergio,
I'm going to offer a couple of things, if you don't know how to upload to the student channel, look here:

I think that you need to look at the quality of your sound. At least at my end there was a horrible hissing and static that made it hard to listen. Perhaps check that out before posting to the student channel.
In terms of tips I just think you need more practice with the song before you try to sing it. If you are still looking for the chord there's no way you can sing along smoothly. Personally I see nothing wrong with practicing both together, but you need to know the song really well in terms of playing it before the singing will come together. There are lots of barre chords in this tune, perhaps try singing to a song with open chords first and see how you go before moving to a more difficult number.
Cheers mate.

Hey Serg, how's it going? Matt and Tony have given you the advice to upload the video to the students channel on youtube and how you can do that. In the meantime I'll make a few comments here.
Your voice and singing of Tin man is really good. Perfect song for you! You have got all the chords down fine. What you need to do is find a nice strumming rhythm or pattern where you keep the right hand going all the time up and down. That will give you the background for your singing. You'll need to practice that without singing or you'll find yourself strumming in the same phrasing you are singing... which is what you are doing at the moment. Does that make sense to you?
