About Playing The Guitar And Singing

I was singing along while playing my favorite songs on YouTube these days.
Even I thought I sang pretty well.
So, with that said, I was singing while playing my guitar-,
My singing was too bad, I couldn't help but laugh a little.
When I was singing along to my favorite songs on YouTube, it sounded like I was pretty good.
Because of that, I end up thinking I'm good at singing by mistake.
One of my friends and I sing with a guitar, but now I think I feel really embarrassed.
I want to focus on playing my guitar for a while.


ギターの弾き語りについて
先日、YouTube で好きな歌を流しながら一緒に歌っていました。 
我ながらちょっと上手に歌ってると思いました。
その流れでギターで弾き語りを始めて歌ったら、私の歌がものすごい下手
過ぎて笑っちゃいました。
好きな歌を流しながら歌うと本当に上手に歌えたと思うんです。
そのせいで私は歌が上手だと錯覚してしまいます。
私はよく友人と弾き語りをするのですが、今、考えると本当に恥ずかしい。
当分、歌わずにギターのみにします。

About Playing The Guitar And Singing

or: "...Playing the Guitar *While* Singing"

I was've been singing along while playing my favorite songs on YouTube these days.

It should be "I've been" or "I have been" because the sentence ends with "these days", which is not used with past-tense verbs.

Even I thought I sang pretty well.

So, with that said, I wastried singing while playing my guitar-,.

Since we're continuing from the previous sentence, you can change "was" to "tried" to show a connection or causality from when you were singing along to music on YouTube. This is a composition correction, not a grammatical one.

My singing was toso bad, (that) I couldn't help but laugh a little.

When I was singing along to my favorite songs on YouTube, it sounded like I was pretty good.

Because of that, I end up thinking I'm good at singing by mistake.

or: "I end up mistakenly thinking I'm good at singing."

Well done! It can be really difficult to sing while playing guitar, but with practice and effort, it'll be easier over time!

Thank you so much.
I think singers who sing while playing instruments are really good. I'll practice to get better at the guitar skills.

About Playing The Guitar And Singing

I was singing along while playing my favorite songs on YouTube these other days.

As 先日 refers to one day in the past, it gives a different meaning from "these days". "These days" means for some time recently.

Even I thought I sang pretty well.

So, with that saiin mind, I was singing while playing my guitar-,

"With that said" has the "but" and "however" nuance, which gives off a different meaning from intended.

Mand my singing was toso bad, I couldn't help but laugh a little.

1. "and" is added to connect with the comma ending of the previous sentence.
2. When using "too", it simply expresses the "over the top" meaning, whereas when using "so", you can continue with the effect that it caused.

When I was singing along to my favorite songs on YouTube, it sounded like I was singing pretty goodwell.

When you say "I was pretty good", you are referring to yourself rather than the singing, and "well" is more natural when describing "singing".

Because of that, I ended up mistakenly thinking I'm was good at singing by mistake.

"By mistake" refers to something you have done unintentionally (an action), whereas "mistakenly" means inaccurately or incorrectly (an idea or thought).

One of my friends and I sing with aoften sang along to the guitar, but nowwhen I think about it now, I feel really embarrassed.

When you say "I think I feel really embarrassed", it gives the impression that you may not actually feel embarrassed since it is just what you think. What you are actually thinking about is the "event" rather than "how you are feeling".

I want to focus on just playing my guitar for a while.

Adding "just" implies that you will not be singing along.

Feedback

I think we are often more critical of ourselves than others, so I think maybe you are just being too harsh on yourself. Plus, it is harder to focus on your vocals when you are playing the guitar at the same time compared to singing along to YouTube. Regardless though, we are not professional singers anyway, as long as you enjoy it, I say keep singing along! It is also the only way to get better at it, right?

P.S. when going to karaoke, part of the fun is to destroy the ears of your friends 😜

Thank you for letting me know the difference between "when I think about it now, I feel~" and "I think I feel really~". 😀
Haha. My friend's ears that I destroyed with my singing are still in rehabilitation. 😆

“These days” would be better to use if you were speaking generally. But in this case, you’re talking about one scenario so “recently” fits better
