You know what mate, among a small crowd, my bet's that 90% dont have a clue in hell how to even hold the damn instrument, so if you get nervous, just think, the people you're playing to dont know the ****in difference between two major chords, draw confidence from that and do your thing, remember always practice before a show, otherwise there's a good chance that you are funked. :grin: I play for the guys at my university and they gawk at me, seriously no kidding, and i cant play if my life depended on it
But disturbed, dont you think that kinda attitude may lead to becoming arrogant, haughty and at later stage, air-head?
^That's where difference between persons comes, if ever you become arrogant, just think of a good guitarist's playing, in my case whenever i feel the ego taking a unnecessary boost i think of Satriani and ego takes a dive off the cliff.
