How hard!!!??? I can get by if I'm strumming a very, very, simple chord accompaniment but if there's a riff involved or strange timings I've got no chance - it's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. Seeing as our singer has jacked it in, I'm tempted to give it a go but at the moment, I just can't get it..
Anyone got any practise tips that could help?

There are some songs that I just cannot believe are possible to play and sing at the same time, two examples being Lindsey Buckingham's much celebrated solo version of Big Love and John Mayer's solo acoustic version of Neon. In both cases it's all I can do not to smash up my PC when I see those clips. Clever, clever bastards.

I had to learn to sing and play the bass to girls on film which goes all over the place. Literally went through every line matching notes to words.

I'd love to be able to do it, cos I could then add backing vocals to my cv to help me land a job in a band. Until then...
@Cirrus - you're not the only one. Someone I know (not me) has exactly the same problem, in exactly the same way. He can sing whilst playing guitar or drums, but definitely not the bass.
I usually do the guitar part to death until it's second nature, then add vocals.
DayTripper did my head in for ages until I learnt to forget my fingers and just let them do their thing.
That James Hatfield one note at a time thing, I found most helpful with Travis picking guitar parts actually.
