How to learn to play the guitar (while singing)
How I did it: Just practiced when I had time on my hands. Had the guitar in plain sight all the time when I was at home.
I've been passively learning this instrument for up to 3 years now. And since I have not paid much attention to how well I was doing in the past (since I rarely touched the instrument), I didn't improve much up until recently.
I can now sing and play, by memory,
Yellow - Coldplay
Naive - The Kooks
Wonderwall - Oasis
All for You - Sister Hazel
Roll to Me - Del Amitri
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Drops of Jupiter - Train
I can also play some other songs while reading chord sheets.
Lessons & tips: You know you can do it when you realize, while you're playing, that your brain can think of your strumming and the singing at the same time (in a matter of speaking). Just keep the guitar at plain sight as much as you can.
