How can I set myself apart as a singer? People such as Amy Winehouse and Regina Spektor have a distinct style. How would I go about developing my own... What could I possibly do that has not been done?

There really isn't anything that hasn't been done.
Music has existed since before humans have existed. Sounds have repeated themselves so many times and so have singers. Your best bet is to just pick favortie singers and mesh their styles together. Hum songs to yourself in your head prefferebly while showering and yeah I know it sounds weird but it's when your most focused. By humming a song (that isn't one already existing) your pretty much expressing yourself without having to know how to play instruments, it shows you what style your mind truly is when it comes to music, and then find words make them up cuz they don't have to make sense just find a rythm for the song and notes that fit in, you will eventually find your own style, and as with anything just keep searching.

I'm sorry if this did not help you but I am just trying and this is my advice which means it isn't necessarily right but as a musician and singer myself, it is what works best for me. =)

I'd love to be linked to a site that can teach me the basics of guitar playing.

I haven't purchased one just yet because I'm not sure I know the difference between a classical and an acoustic. I understand that they both fall under the acoustic category, but hopefully I'm making sense. Physically, I know what makes the two different from eacother, but could you give examples of songs played with them that I would know of to figure out which I'd be happier with!
xThanks!

Well lets see classical can range from different styles in itself such as spanish guitar and such.

I would suggest going to youtube and typing in classical guitar to see what the styles and sounds are and at the same time to see just how difficult classical guitar can be.

I would say if your a begginer to just go with learning how play acoustic guitar, because it's probably gonna be easier for you and that way you can start learning classical guitar with ease.

I don't listen to much acoustic stuff but If you type into youtube "Dir en grey - Undecided" on this song listen to it at 2:07 minutes in it is more classical but still includes acoustic style for the most part Or "Dir en grey - akuro no oka" those are some sweet acoustic songs (for the most part) and dir en grey is an amazing and versatille band from Japan.

Oh and I almost forgot acoustic styles use more chord strumming which can sound beautiful and is where most song writting begins now a days as where classical ussually uses really fast fingerpicking and single notes which can be difficult for begginers but learning acoustic styles will teach you both slowly. I suggest Acoustic personally which is what I play as well as distorted electric.

I'm Doing a Solo for Winterguard in February and i was wondering if anyone knew any good songs to dance/twirl/spin to. Also, does any one know websites for Costumes/Outfits? Thankss

I dated someone who did winterguard. And ive been to a few winterguard shows.

Most guards use songs like stuff from harry potter (instrumentals) alot of slow evanescence songs. It depends on whatever gives you a good rythm.
