i was wondering about playing and singing at the same time. to me, it seems like something you can either do or you can't. even the most basic songs like wonderwall, that i could play in my sleep, turn to crap if i try to sing along. it's like my brain is physically incapable. does anyone else find this? or do you find it comes with practise?
I been playing 16 years and its only recently I found I can actually, well lets call it singing when really its more like making an appalling noise with my voice.

But I did never try until recently.

Its hard at the start cause you thinking so much about playing. Once you get really comfortable with a song, to the point where you can play it with your eyes closed, it gets a little easier.

There are only a few I can sing tho, like RadioHead - Nice Dreams, cause the chords don't require a lot of bar work and there aren't many, and Street Spirit, cause its only 3 chords for the entire song.
