We all have problems handling stage freight sometimes, some shows can be demanding, we put a lot of effort to it, and it's important for us to produce a quality performance.

We are now talking about those 10 minutes before the shows. Hands are getting cold, anxiety kicks in.. you know. smile.gif Does anybody has any special "thing" or ritual in these situations. I kinda walk around couple of times with my guitar, thinking about something completely non-related to the gig. biggrin.gif

How bout you? smile.gif

It's a proven fact that guitar faces have a bigger impact on tone than wood does.

Yeah, starting and stopping is always the hardest for me, it seems. When some friends come over to hear me play - just out of the blue - I'm thinking, Ok, what do I play? I just go blank for a minute. biggrin.gif Instant pressure and stage fright in my own room! laugh.gif I just wear sunglasses in those cases, it's something to hide behind...er, but I couldn't exactly wear sunglasses at church when I play specials.
happy.gif Song books would fly!... Just kidding!
