Polly,

Don't be a masochist with your voice. Singing loudly beyond your range is a recipe for a damaged voice. If you are hitting notes that hurt or cause you to really push all the time, you should check with a good vocal coach. If you are having pain, you should see a doctor who specializes in voice.

Above all, don't hit those high notes without warming up.

Your guitar player probably won't understand this, but your voice is at least equally and often more important to a band's success than a guitar smile If he needs the sweet spot for licks, he can find a different sweet spot. There are great sweet spots in G, A, E, D, C, and other keys. One of them will fit your range.

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
