And strikes hard when it comes to Christina Perri.
I was playing with my guitar, well honestly, fumbling would be the correct term, and I decided to try playing Christina Perri's 'Jar of Hearts'.
I thought I was doing alright, the chords weren't too messed up, and I was singing on-key.
Then I thought hey, I should hear how she sings it, where to she put in the harmonies, and what kind of harmony it was.
That was my downfall.
I played her song, and felt woefully low and so bad at singing, I quietly put the guitar away, and clicked on her cover of "Blower's Daughter" and was blown away. No joke.
I seriously could not stop listening, the way she makes the song her own, and does so with style is seriously a talent that makes me green.

I guess only the lazy are jealous.
Being able to play the guitar smoothly just takes practice, to play it with style just means finding your own style and putting your heart into it. Singing, well, everyone can sing, it just takes more time to polish that talent. I haven't been doing much of either. But, with this new-found jealousy fueling my passion for both guitar and singing, I'll be having more practice time that's for sure.
