So I've reached a point where I'm like mediocre at guitar, and I'm like fairly competent enough as a singer, so I figured I'm at the point where I should start trying to combine the two. However, I'm having a very hard time kind of simultaneously keeping the strumming pattern while singing and not having it sound like I'm just singing to the rhythm pattern pretty much exactly. If that makes any sense. Is there any exercises to try and break this (because I would really like to), or is it like an innate kind of you have it, or don't kinda thing and instead I should be looking into using studio programs to like layer guitar, vocal, bass, etc. tracks over each other?
