Interesting re: the adam's apple trick. I was trying it and realized a couple of things.
My first reaction was that I could feel the adam's apple rise when I progressively reached for higher notes, and vice-versa. Then I realized that when I conciously sang with the full-throat voice that my adam's apple didn't move hardly at all.
So I realized that when I first tried it, I was singing in my 'head voice'. When I use my 'head voice', the adam's apple acts as the catalyst to restrict the throat opening to raise the pitch. When I'm singing in my full 'chest voice', the adam's apple doesn't move much and isn't the catalyst. I can feel the opening of the back of my throat being more regulated by conscious muscle control.
Just a couple of observations...

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
