Singing and playing simulataneously is not the easiest thing to do. No, I don't think your alone on that.

Nick wrote an article on this. "If I had another Brain" do a search for it. (Can't say how many pluggs I alone have given this one article, haha)

Everything you wanted to know about singing and playing at the same time, and about how the dinosaurs invented drums. This one doesn't mention anything about little sausages in tins - I'll let you find that for yourself.

Best,

just like everything else with the guitar ... it takes practice practice practice.

One thing I do is:
Try getting your playing up to speed with a cd for the song you are working on. Get to the point where you can anticipate the changes, no longer needing to see the tabs. Then add your voice. Then get it close to being in key. Then watch as with every passing song, it gets easier and easier. (Ok, maybe not the singing in key part, but hey, Neil Young has made a career out of it).
