Try sighting down the neck, by looking across the body and down along the neck.  You should be able to discern possible warpage in the neck and maybe even how even the frets are.  If your guitar strings buzz when both fretted and open, your problem might be viewable in the manner described. 

In the end, a visit to your local luthier is a good, though very rarely inexpensive, option.  At that point, after the initial consultation and estimate, you will then have to decide if your guitar is worth the added expense.  By now, after all the mods, tweaks, and neck adjustments on my Gretsch ProJet, I've put in more than what the damn thing cost me in the first place.  Does it sound and play good?  Definitely much better than when I first got it.  Was it worth it?  Dunno.  I need to compare it to a Gretsch that has comparable pick ups to what I now have on there.  Considering that a Gretsch that comes stock with TV Jones pups usually go for lots more than my total investment, maybe I need to stop judging myself.

If you're trying to read the lyrics while playing, you'll probably find that it's more difficult than having everything memorized.  Back in the day of cassette tapes, I used to transcribe the lyrics (as best as I could figure out), figure out the key, figure out the chords and where the changes were, and then memorize the lyrics.  By then, dealing with the chords was a no-brainer.  You wouldn't believe the number of Neil Young songs I learned that way.  Too bad it's impossible to do a partial rewind with CD's and mp3's.  Times sure are tough on you kids these days!   Nowadays, it's not that hard for me to stumble my way through a song on-page, if I know how it's roughly supposed to sound.  Still can't read music, though.

And be open to picking the individual strings of a chord to sort of "enunciate" the melody a bit between your strumming.  You'd be amazed how good that can sound when singing the song.  The same thing works when working a guitar.

They have quite the number of videos on YouTube.  What makes them remarkable are their digital editing skills combined with their musical abilities.  Playing live is a whole other issue, as it would appear they lack the memory and stamina to handle that type of performance.  All that aside, I do love their  music.
