Hi All,
Well Sunday night was my solo debut performance at our local folk club. I did the Pete Molinari song " I dont like the man I am", and "House of the Rising Sun". Now I practice every day, I knew both of these songs down pat, played them all through on the same guitar (F30) for the last month. Comes the time to get on stage, the nerves kick in and mistakes aplenty !!
Being honest, I'm never going to be Joe Satriani or anything and if truth be told I'd rather be a spirited failure than a going through the motions technically correct but soul less performer, (so in that respect the gig was an OUTSTANDING Success), but it would be nice if I could deliver the same performance on stage that I do at home...
Here's the question: How do you guys that do this all the time get good at performing ?
Cheers, Ian
