After reading all the comments so far, @Guy_H , I can only repeat what others have said.
First, what @Fletch said, it’s a choice. If you focus on one thing, you’ll get good at that, but then you will be sacrificing something else.
So you choose singing and playing. Does that hamper your improvement? Yes, absolutely… IF you never practice guitar skills. But if you do the daily lessons, you are constantly working on your skills.
You can get really good at strumming, so good it seems like you simply don’t need to work on flat picking or finger picking. Ok, but then you are starting to stagnate right there. We must keep going, which means that eventually you will get so good at something you are working on now that you must start working on something else that you thought you weren’t interested in.
Anyway, that’s my take.
