Then my voice broke. And I mean proper "broke"!
Nowadays? I'd say I'm probably a 5-6 but I never sing in public anymore.
I can nail Living Colour's Open Letter To A Landlord.... and a few other bits and bobs, too.
Other times, I was really struggle with what some would consider 'easy' stuff. Guess it depends on what key songs are recorded in?
(As for me, as a classical singer, I'd probably give myself a 7 (was told it was a potential career a long time ago), but as a rock/blues singer (what I actually wanted to do), a 4 at best)
i sometimes think I might be able to sing with more guidance and practice... but I don’t think my voice would suit the things I want to sing so it dissuades me from trying
Since having kids I am constantly singing around the house and I like to think my voice is improving slowly

However, the one time I've tried to sing in public I was so nervous I was flatter than the Norfolk Broads. Put myself right off.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youEdit - just considered this response and realised there are links in the Making Music section to proof of my singing ability (or lack thereof!) so please don't judge my optimism

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
My feedback thread is here.
The Grunfeld Scale has these two the wrong way round by the way - Clueless should be above No (as in Just No).

I'm actually quite surprised to find how many others here rate themselves as low as I do - I thought it was fairly rare, but it appears not to be. I think it may be because guitarists, as a largely self-taught group, don't experience the selection that classically-trained musicians do from the very start - where they're expected to be able to sing a basic melody, and if they can't (as I couldn't) then they are written off as non-musical at an early age, and probably most never try to learn an instrument later.
Learning to play an instrument by ear, as many of us did, clearly does prove that we can hear pitch… it just doesn't mean we can produce it accurately ourselves.
