....But if that's her approach, she must have a reason (other than you wanting to).
She brought it up. I was as surprised as anyone would be. :?:

I didn't object, of course.

I think it is like anything else. Unless you have honed in on both aspects of performing... like playing and singing both well, you should approach it one at a time. I have played guitar a long time very well... but I can't sing. in order to sing well you have to concentrate on just that. Lay down your guitar track. and the sing to it. you will learn to sing a lot better, then gradually bring the guitar into it.

Just don't give up and start with easy stuff like playing the chords and singing! And, if u're taking lessons, be sure to tell your teacher what u want to learn.
I started to play and sing about 4 years ago, being part of a garage band trio (bass, guitar,drums). It's somewhat harder to preform when u're a singer and a lead/rythm guitarist, but I learned a lot out of this experience. Now I enjoy playing barre chords and singing and let the other guitarist make solos, harmonies etc. :mrgreen:

My general opinion is, that, at the end of a day it's all about practice..
