Jeff, I understand your "play guitar " statement perfectly. I play enough to back up ( or drown out) my voice. I tell folks I'm not a fast guitar player, I'm not a slow guitar player. I'm a half-fast guitar player.
Suggestion: tune it to open G so every now and again you can just reach up and coax the opening riff of Honky-tonk Wonan out of it.
All the best
Les
