like i when i sing i mess up on guitar cuz im focusing and singing and vice versa like the rythm doesnt sound good… so what could i do…. i tryed to make it automatic so i dont have to think bout it but how would i do that?
When I have this problem I learn the guitar part so perfectly that I can do it without thinking, then I just play it over and over again til my fingers are just playing it automatically, then I add the singing in a few lines at a time. Don’t worry if it takes you a while, you just have to practice and practice until you get it. Gradually after a few songs you’ll get used to it so it won’t take you so long to learn each new song.
Also, as the person above says, choose easy songs to start with.
If the above method doesn’t work out for you then try songs where you can jsut strum chords, and at first just strum each chord once when the chord changes, rather than trying to keep up the strumming rhythm, and see if you can sing whilst doing that. Then gradually add in the strumming at a basic 1-2-3-4 rhythm, then gradually build it up to the actual rhythm.
Good luck!
