the struggles of musical worship

recently i've joined the scbc sunday service worship, and it is definitely a good experience so far. though i've been asked a few times whether i didn't do this earlier, i do have my reasons.

one of my main concerns was whether my "worship" was really worshipping God. ppl can easily get caught up in how their playing sounds, or how their singing sounds (especially the singing for me). this has been a major struggle for me.. it could be becuz i've been trained in music for almost all my life, or it could be that i just like to sound good, my focus during worship may often divert to myself rather than my God, and the words that i am singing.

one question though.. becuz playing guitar or piano or even singing involves some skill, sometimes u'd really havta concentrate to make sure ur doing everything properly! then ur focus, going into ur instrument playing or whatever, would be justified, no? so where does that leave room for.. focus on God? or do we say.. u gotta do both at the same; multitask? cuz for those of u that have led worship before, u probably know that multitasking isn't easy.. especially if u gotta play guitar, sing and lead at the same time (decided not to play guitar this time). sooo what do u think ppl?
