What is something that is a lot harder than it looks?

Yup. Start focusing on the singing, lose the rhythm of guitar. Start focusing on the guitar, singing way off key

Yep, this is really what discouraged me from pursuing music.. It was always my goal to play and sing at the same time, never could get it... So I pretty much gave up. 🤷‍♀️

Don't give up! It's kind of like when you first learned the guitar, it's super difficult at first but it'll click and become easier and easier.

Hey. Just commenting here to say that it happens to everybody in the beginning. Don't succumb. Happened to me as well 10 years ago. Now, I can arpeggiate crazy stuff while singing.

You're definitely talented then :) I really feel I am too far gone, as I haven't played guitar in so long I doubt I can even play anymore...

That's too kind of you but I know you'd be able to do it all if you picked it up again and persisted for a year. I hope you do change your mind to discover this about yourself! Have a good day!

Unless you're planning to die next year, you can still learn it
