Soulhouse Sound’s Karan Andrea and guitarist extraordinaire Ed Supple were at Summer NAMM to showcase their new video, Guitar Player Wanted: Vocals a Plus. Situated in a long row of rectangle-shaped booths, Soulhouse Sound stood out among its neighbors as the sweet riffs of Supple’s guitar floated over the crowd. If you’re a guitarist looking to become a better singer, or you want to learn to sing in a healthier manner then check out their DVD, it’s worth a watch.
Props go out to Ed for his shared love for the music of Lenny Breau. It was fitting for me to find a fellow Lenny fan in Nashville, the city where he spent so much time as an adult.

From GI’s Review of Guitar Player Wanted
If you’ve ever run across a situation in your amateur or professional career as a guitarist where vocals were needed for a gig but you didn’t quite feel up to snuff to take the job, then Guitar Player Wanted Vocals a Plus just might be the instructional package you’ve been looking for. The book-CD-DVD package provides in depth explanations and dozens of practical exercises geared towards taking guitarists of any level and turning them into singer-performers. These exercises are not going to instantly transform anyone into the next Neil Young or Joni Mitchell, but they will provide a solid foundation from which to develop proper and healthy vocal techniques.
The DVD is the main source of info in the three-pronged package, with the book essentially being a word-for-word textual guide to what is being said on screen. As well, the accompanying CD presents all twenty-five vocal exercises from the DVD in audio form, minus the verbal explanations. The CD will be welcomed by those who like to practice in the car, while doing house work etc, or who want to practice in a room that doesn’t have a TV and DVD player.
