I'm all for just being a background rhythm player. Though this weekend at church i was the only guitar player. And the worship leader says: "Dave, i want you to open this song". Some tunes apparently sound cool with an acoustic intro. Fortunately, i knew the tune, and it was fairly easy. Vocalists are definitely gifted for sure. Enough weird-ness going on when you hear out of phase audio coming back when playing. I'm sure if i were trying to vocalise, that would really mess me up. Thank goodness for monitor speakers.
