There is a bulletproof way to overcome this. Play in front of people as MUCH as possible.

How many songs you know how to play ?
This is a common issue..Best way is to learn and think of what songs and stuff you would play for home audience and practice it a little..Then next time you will know what to play..About being nervous , try to relax and don't put pressure on yourself..You don't need to play it perfect..But music is meant to be heard so I'm sure you will get over the problem after being more self confident (as a guitar player too)...

Don't worry man it is very normal, just be yourself, play anything, and be relaxed. You don't have to play perfect for the audience, audience like to be entertained, so a couple of happy chords for a small group of people always works.

Just be confident and dare to play, if you hold back that's a big mistake, people will hear that. Practice practice practice practice your act before so you know it inside out. Thinking about which chords come next shouldn't be an obstacle.
Walk up, know your act by heart and just play. You're the one on stage, not them, and you're a better performer than 95% of the audience anyway. The ones who can perform are there to enjoy themselves and if they are more skilled, so what, they have been there once and know what you're facing and they will surely be humble about it. Anyone who says "I can do that better", well fine, but they are not the ones on stage at this moment and they are probably not very secure about themselves if they must judge. You do what you do and noone who's watching does it better -------------------- My bands homepage
