www.singingsuccess.com I purchased this program that does step by step vocals all on 12 cd's and there's a 2nd program called mastering vibrato. The first time i ever song was last sunday and i'm 26 years old. I can testify that if you can't sing at all, with determination and persistance you can do it. i couldn't hold a tune all my life, this program teaches you runs, licks, and the most common riffs that are used. the cost is $199 for the 12 cd's, but you can also pay in installments as low as $26 per month. it's well worth the investment if your seriousy about singing. I also found that this works better then a vocal instructor that someone would usually pay $50 or per hour for. I'm my lessons i'm working on my licks and riffs. It's kind of hard to explain by typing, but i'm just giving a resource to go to.
Well, I am not new to singing but that term "lick" is new to me. I know what a riff is (I think :-\), runs, but what is a "lick". Just curious to know. If I'm going to be talking on LGM, I want to be able to understand folks. :D So, skool me a bit. Thanks In Advance.
Smooches!! :-*

Thank you Lyric for the link. Unfortunately though, it didn't work. I clicked on it and it was just a white picture. But, I thank you for trying. You can tell me what it means. I know you know what it is. ;)

Lick (music)
In popular music, a lick is a "rock term [meaning]...something like 'a stock pattern or phrase'" (Middleton 1990, p.137); a short phrase, or series of notes, often improvised by a musician. It is most often associated with jazz or rock music, and with stringed instruments, especially the guitar, banjo, slightly less so with the piano.
In a jazz band, a lick may be performed by a soloist at a rehearsed or unrehearsed point in a song, with the soloist continuing after all other musicians stop playing; see also break and solo. It can be a testament to the virtuosity of the musician to create a spontaneous, original short phrase which fits well with a standard composition.
Licks in rock and jazz are often used through a formula, and variations technique, such as Jimi Hendrix's "Gypsy Eyes", which, according to Richard Middleton (ibid, p.137), "is put together from variants of five stock ideas...familiar from other recordings in the same style...The combination and variations of these formulae are many and highly imaginative. But the basic formulae are so simple that the recording could well have been worked out 'in performance.'"
