What the hell is a cheaters G? You mean without a barré or what? I never do barré,my hands are too small or stiff or I don't know,but as I said I'm not a guitarist,I'm jutst someone who plays guitar.It's different.As for being "better" singing and playing I mean better for me not for the song...what do you think should be played when you sing? Nothing? I don't think you need "a very good guitar player"..well it depends on your standards of very good I suppose :)
