Hey Slamm,it's been a while indeed,good to hear from you!!
How was my first gig? Can't recall really,when and where was that,no idea... But here's quick advice. Try to play tunes you're comfortable with, easy to understand why,will make you feel good and confident. And main thing is to play " for yourself", sort of speech. Imagine you're in your room with your buddies, trying to have a good time while audience is there just in passing by. Conclusion is,if you have good time on stage,they will have good time watching and listening. Simple as that -------------------- Youtube

btw. now that I think about it, you have done so many gigs that you definetly woudn't remember your first Something like that,yeah Just thought I'd add that being nervous is something everyone is before a gig, theres nothing to do about it. Its because you are nervous that the gig gets soooo much more awesome when you finish the last song. Trust me, the second you plug the guitar in you wont be nervous at all. Good luck and have fun!! I wouldn't say it that way Robin, many are nervous before gig but not everyone, there's excitement too which isn't being nervous imho, this feeling is soo much better. -------------------- Youtube

Me : "hahaha who doesn't? the url is http://www.myspace.com/maidenmayhem hahah" |

Hey Slamm,glad it went cool!!
Let me tell you one more thing,I've had gigs in front of 5 people up to tens of thousands. And best feeling is to play for couple of guys,real interaction is there. I mean,you can interact with large crowd as well but it's not that personal and nice, I guess you felt that and they felt it too,that's why they came to you to comment your playing. Thumbs up mate -------------------- Youtube
