When I was playing a single, I added electronic drums to my singing and guitar playing. It was almost impossible to add any feeling to the song. I was not leading; I was following.

I am somewhat surprised at that statement, John, as I feel a vocalist can certainly put a lot of emotion into a song, even while playing an arranger kb ... It comes from the telling of the story of the song, in the phrasing, etc. ... Even when playing an instrumental, the player can put emotion into a song by 'stretching' notes out, cutting notes short, and especially by not playing 'note for note', 'beat for beat' as the song is written on paper ...
All that being said FOR ME, nothing beats playing with other musicians, especially if you know them well ...
