As a singer-songwriter who describes his guitar style as "barely adequate" it's all about the SONG and the voice for me. Save us from the vituoso guitarist who plays a long brilliant intro, mumbles a line of vocals, then play another long guitar bit before singing the next line, by which time you've forgotten what the first line was, if indeed you ever knew.

There are some who can manage both brilliantly, and those I can only watch and listen to in admiration, but they are few and far between.
