I thought it would be cool to showcase top guitarists that can sing.
The reason is that I myself started out as a guitarist and got tired of being held hostage by "the singer."
In addition, learning to sing was a great tool for writing and expressing my ideas.
I hope you find this video inspiring on your musical journey and remember:
A Singer Is Only As Singer Because They Have The Guts To Be One!

I'm one of those people who started just playing guitar and then learned to sing. I consider myself to have zero natural singing talent, I was the kid who learned to just mouth the words when we had to sing in school, because I would get pained looks if I actually made a sound. I tried various self-teaching courses through the years (was too embarrassed to actually go to a singing teacher) and none of them worked for me. But these days I not only sing at jams and open mics, but I regularly get complimented on it. That massive change is pretty much down to just two things - Your singing course and a lot of practice. It was probably a couple of years of doing the exercises pretty much every day before I felt confident enough to try singing in front of an audience (and that audience was at my regular jam where I knew they would be tolerant and supportive), but eventually, I got there and haven't stopped since. Now I enjoy singing and I enjoy people's reactions to my singing, they are two of the great pleasures in my life, and I really doubt I would ever have had them without your teaching, so thank you very much. And if anyone who reads this is in the same "I wish I could sing" boat I used to be in, I say give it a go, it takes time and repetition, but it is totally worth it. Vibrato still pretty much eludes me though, but I think I may finally be getting hints of a proper natural vibrato, but how to develop it? I see from your website the course has been updated, I may need to upgrade.

He also put out a solo album The Year of the Tiger in 2018. And then he also sings and occasionally plays guitar for Slash's band Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

I'm addicted to your channel and content Ken! Your story is so awe inspiring! I have to say there is one glaring omission on this list and that's Glen Campbell. Glen was a top 10 artist of the entire 20th Century in my opinion. AMAZING singer and even better guitar player which is saying a lot. Anyone reading this go check out his solo output from 1967-1979. There are some UNBELIEVABLE musical moments in there. I am a former metalhead and Glen is my favorite artist of ALL TIME! Keep it up Ken, you rock dude!

I am 100% shocked that Myles Kennedy wasn't in this mix. He and I hung out quite a bit during his teen years, and he played guitar, as a shredding lead player in the late 80s and early 90s era. He was even briefly in my band of 35+ years Amethyst, as our lead guitarist. The guy was very humble, but a great player. He even won an award at a guitar contest at a local Spokane music store around 91/92 era. But look at him now. He didn't even sing background vox for my band or any of his other Spokane younger year bands, until he joined Mayfield Four as their vocalist/guitarist... Then Mark Tremonti picked him up, and the rest is rock and roll history!

So glad you showed Richie some love on the number 1 spot!!! He's probably the best blues shredder of all time. The man opted to ditch his pick, saying goodbye to sweep and alternate picking (which he mastered), yet he only evolved his technique and phrasing from there being limited to legato and finger picking. A truly inspiring career. Plus the voice of Chris Cornell? Forget about it. Untouchable.

My personal favourite guitarist/singer (in rock music) is Gary Moore. Specially the Dirty Fingers (1980) album. First time i heard it i was 12 and it melted my face. My face continues to be melted as we speak, 22 years later. George Benson is my favourite guitarist/singer in Jazz. As far as i know, Ritchie Kotzen is a massive George Benson fan, for a good reason.
