Sup people. Just thought i'd tune in, see how everyone was doing and share something. I earlier today had an audition for a musical that is done every year (different musicals each year of course) where i live and are quite famous. The school im going to is making this musical every year, wich means you'll be playing 3 shows at the school, 5 shows at our citys theater and then about 15-20 shows during the summer, depending on how well this musical is going. This years musical will be Jesus christ superstar, and since it is my first year at this school (wich could if i translate correctly be highschool maybe? I'm 16 turning 17) i'd just thought "Whatta hell, i need to play some new music and this seems like fun. No biggie if i don't get in this first year". So before my audition i was sitting with my other guitar friend in the school waiting for auditions to start, so we where warming up etc. And then the thing that cannot happen happend, my string broke. 30 mins, a lot of running and alot of stress later i got it restringed and had 1 minute to spare before my turn. Then i realised i had not planned what to play, so i just went in there improvising and playing some parts of different songs i know. And i got in, and so did my friend. ^^ Moral of this story: Always come well prepared to an audition, string and what to play etc. Question of this: What do you think the benefits of auditioning and being a part of a musical is for a guitar player? Now i have to go brainwash myself with the songs i'm going to play, getting sheet music in a week. Wow man congratulations! This is big! What are the benefits? So many of them! You are going to play with other people for one and you are going to have fun traveling and performing. Learning stuff you wouldn't normally learn will boost your skills significantly. Regarding the string breaking - that is Murphy's law at it's best. But, I think all the running around and changing strings might have actually helped distract your attention from the actual auditioning parts so you might have been even more relaxed then you would actually if you just sat down and "counted" the minutes till performance -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

That is an excellent opportunity to learn something new, have new experiences, meet new people, and be surrounded by more musicians. Take it seriously and prepare well for the musical, and above all - share positive energy with everyone, that is very important!
