I have played bass guitar since the mid 60′s, and been a lead singer in several of the bands I have been in. Now I’m not saying that I’m a terrific singer because I am not, but I guess I could carry a tune better than most of the guys in the bands that’s why I was always elected as lead singer.
It is much more versatile to be a good guitarist rather than a good singer. Can you imagine someone like Frank Sinatra, or Dean Martin singing something like “The Pinball Wizard”, or “Dirty Deeds”, that would be like Roger Daltrey trying to sing “That’s Amore”, or Robert Plant singing “My Way”. The point I’m trying to make is they are all great singers in their own music genres but I don’t think they could make it crossing over to their opposite genres.
Whether you play custom or cheap electric guitar packages you have the ability to play any music genre, you may prefer to play rock or country but playing electric guitar all the music genres are at your finger tips.
