It seems to me that there is some sort of diagram with your guitar/music skills at the points. For example, one might have a triangle with singing, guitar solo playing, and guitar accompaniment skill as the three corners. Find where you are in that triangle and lead with your best combination. If you want to change the mix, then it's up to you to do that and find out where the result puts you. I know some really good singers who do rudimentary backup on their guitars and they are wonderful to listen to. There are some very good instrumentalists but I must say that that style of music is harder to communicate to an audience. Tommy Emmanuel will sing some of the time in his solo shows, even given his extraordinary command of all styles of guitar playing.
