To me it means, do you. If it's above your head stick with what you do well, until you practice and can do other stuff effortlessly

I was taught that as a kid lol.
Yeah', there's many ways to play guitar. And if you're a "solo virtuoso" then go ahead and do it the hard way, no one will deny that it looks impressive.
But...
In a group situation, it's best to "let the whole band play" wink

Just because you CAN play bass and rhythm at the same time on one instrument doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Yes, and not play something difficult just for sake of playing something difficult. Should be a point to it.

If your audience can't sing or follow your playing, your pissing in the wind.

Only a select few jazz greats found large audiences because they understood that. otherwise your audience is all guitar players
