I remember when I was about 12 and played not much aside from simple baree shapes but (what a flavour it was!) on the distortion We had a singing band with my two brothers. I played the guitar and 3 of us were singing We didn't "afford" the real band so we had a "drummer and the basist" from the minidisc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My first time I was in a band with others that had played out before quite frequently, so I was the only one which was a COMPLETE NERVOUS FREAKING WRECK!!!! We played at a dive that had a house band and the singer for my band asked them (unbeknownst to me) if we could play a set while they took a break. They said okay - then, with no mental, spiritual or emotional preparation whatsoever - SURPRISE!!!! I can still hear my singer friend now; "hey man, they're gonna let us play". I was PETRIFIED! Anyway, we used their instruments. Their guitarist quickly showed me around his pedal board and right then and there, in front of gawd and everyone, got my cherry popped. I was stiff as a board and probably felt the same fear as someone being thrown into a den of lions. From what I remember we played 6 songs. I guess everybody has to start somehow. Regardless, the crowd was drunk and VERY gracious to us. Either they really enjoyed our tunes (all cover tunes) or my wretched nerves radiated into each of them and they pity cheered for us.

All in all, it was a horrible performance and even more horrible for me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
