A tip for singing and playing...
I was working with a student today in a private lesson and their singing and playing weren't syncing up...
So we broke it down as follows:
  1. Drill the line of chords: D A Bm A | G G A A
  2. Eliminate any gaps in the chord changes e.g. the A to Bm could be tricky
  3. Keep focusing on the chords & strum while briefing only "thinking" about the lyrics
  4. Then do a "dance remix" type thing where you only sing the first 2-3 lyrics of the line and keep your full focus on the chord playing! ..this means we are training our brains to prioritise the chords/strum.
  5. Continue to add on more lyrics bit by bit, each time you get something working, repeat it a couple of times, so you are continuously expanding out the line with solid singing and playing.
Hope this helps, if you would like to me demo this on a video comment DEMO below this post and I'll do one up!
