“It took me a long time to get them together. When I started, no one told me that they're two different instruments (duh!).”
EXACTLY! The vocal (s) are really another instrument in the song.
You might try tapping your foot to the beat while singing, no guitar. Then go to the guitar and foot only. Your foot is keeping the beat and then only strum when your foot taps. Then start counting the beat vocally. Like 1,2,3 and 4 out loud. If you got this far, try singing the numbers, and if you are still keeping up, transition to the words in the song. If you can hum or whistle, that may work. VOCALS are a part of the music...just like the tapping of the foot and the strum of the guitar.
