"Singing.."

Is it possible to learn to sing? With practice and proper teaching techniques?
If you have never been able to sing, decently, will you ever be able to?

Or is it a born ability?

Was fairly common a while ago. Still popular among heavier bands today.

Didnt most guitarists drop a 1/2 step flat in the 80's, easier to do crazy solo's?

1/2 a step flat is my fav. Ebm is just the most lush key there is.

I've got mine tuned down a couple of steps at the moment. I'm having great fun coming up with very simple, heavyish riffs. Plus, it means I can learn a few System Of A Down songs which I've discovered are rather satisfying to play.

That's different and indeed can sound awesome. I love pitchshifting :-D

pffft

I'm talking about loads of delay and wacked out scratching noises.
And pitchshifting.

Dischordancy can work. Just not all the time. Then you just sound like a spastic.

guitar is way more fun if you make unpleasant sounds.

Mexactly. I can do more with a geetar in my hands than I ever could with my voice. Plus there's the added bonus of my actually being able to make pleasant sounds with a guitar.
