Maybe a little self centric to imply that "just strumming chords" is of a lower pecking order than other styles that you may have moved on to. Firstly, it's all down to to what you, as an individual wants to do, and feels happy with. Secondly - and this is an important point - you can have an excellent singer/chord player who is a much better entertainer than someone who 'does more'. More is not always better. And that is never more true than in the music industry, and particularly, where guitar playing is concerned. Granted, the guitarist himself may feel more rewarded or fulfilled, but if you're performing, it's all about how well you entertain that audience, and that can be done with a great voice, intelligent choice of songs, and good, solid, simple guitar playing with feel and dynamics, good tone and good amplification.
