Was Paul Davis a guitarist?

Paul Davis was primarily known as singer, songwriter, and keyboardist rather than as guitarist, though like many songwriters he could play guitar to some degree for writing and recording. His main instruments were vocals and keyboards, and his studio recordings featured prominent piano and keyboard arrangements characteristic of 1970s soft rock and pop soul style. In live performances and studio work, he worked with session musicians who handled guitar parts, including notable guitarists of that era. His strength was songwriting, vocal delivery, and melodic construction rather than virtuoso guitar playing. While publicity photos sometimes show him with guitar, his professional identity was singer songwriter and producer who played keys. He was inducted into songwriting circles for his writing ability rather than instrumental prowess on guitar. So he was not known as guitarist in sense of being lead guitarist, but as multi instrumentalist who could play enough guitar for composition and accompaniment alongside his primary keyboard and vocal work.
