Actually I'm singing AND playing the guitar! First time I've played for an ad. I played bass tonight on a session I sang on. I've been playing instruments for years on records I've produced, but playing for a commercial session is altogether different. Kind of validates my musicianship further. Because I've always been a much stronger vocalist than instrumentalist, I've always had insecurities about my playing.

A few months ago I was present at a meeting when some songs I produced were being played for some industry people, who raved about the guitar parts (which I had played). I was kind of taken aback. Even now validation as an instrumentalist comes as a shock.

Anyhow, there's a little insight into my musicians mind. An eternal oscillation between extreme overconfident arrogance and disempowering insecurity.
