Just kidding... Well you should keep practicing with the guitar and making scales. I'm betting youre tensing up your throat to some degree because it's so common to new singers. Be sure youre not overpushing, it doesnt take alot of push to sing, and make sure youre keeping your throat open kinda like youre saying ahh for the doctor. Its a good practice to sing ahhs as your first warmup vowel and just do melodies on ahh to help practice because its just one of those shapes that you can't make without being open. Be sure youre "coming from the gut" as well. If youre not sure then look up that section on the first page and do the motor boat drills. Best wishes. Oh and post a sample if you can.
