QUOTE (earman @ May 19 2010, 01:07 PM)  When listening to people jam in guitar shops or watching youtube demos, do you ever find yourself thinking, "man that guy has some sweet sounding licks/riffs. I know I could nail them if I only knew how"? Or what about when you have friends or random people in front of you that say, "oh you play guitar?" It's times like these when I go brain dead and often don't have sweet licks to demo. So I'm asking GMC for your advice. What's your favorite ways to develop some cool sounding lines? -Brandon You've come to right site!  Pick some kewl licks from this site and practice them til you nail them. Then, submit them as a REC so you know you nailed them based on Instructor feedback. Brain-deadedness is common, especially when you're not in the comfort of your practice zone, so go to your local guitar shop a few times a month, crank an amp, and do a few licks. Being under others' scrutiny is the only path to getting past "stage-fright induced brain-deadedness". It's when you're most uncomfortable that such a phenonemon occurs, so practice getting outside of your comfort-zone til it's less and less uncomfortable. Now, if I would just follow my own advice...

I've never tried to copy licks exactly - as soon that I've learned them, I start to do something own of it, combining it with what I already knows, and then You got a new lick that is actually Your own.....
However, I try to avoid lick playing, since thats not improvisation to me, but in playing very fast lines, its hard to be creative, so most of the times You will play patterns that the fingers already knows.....//Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

You should not feel discomfort. We all build this repertoire through our playing - whole life. You should try to learn as many licks (which you find cool) - then they will show up in your playing on their own and often with a personal touch. We all kinda "recycle" same/similar licks that are out there -over and over again. Its not a problem. The more licks you know the better chances are for you to improvise cool lines. Also by practicing improvisation, you will develop your own favorite licks too.
For demo purposes (shop,friends etc) I would suggest learning few cool GMC lessons based on your favorite style. Ideally it would be those which feature both rhythm and solo parts.

Why don't you spend some time practicing various licks, if you feel you don't have them enough? Just take some gmc lessons, or any kind of learning source, and learn what you like, develop, practice, practice, play with chords to polish it up.. and tomorrow do the same

It comes with time definitely, the fear goes away. After a while you get used to play for people that you need someone to listen to you

QUOTE (thefireball @ May 29 2010, 05:19 PM) Oh my, I have the same problem, Brandon. (my name is Brandon, too ) I'll play things perfectly by myself, but when I play in front of friends my performance isn't as good. And when I'm in guitar shops I feel so self-conscience. I feel okay when there are others in there jamming, but when they leave and I'm jamming alone I'm like, "oh crap, i'm soloing...." I just play stuff I know pretty well, and I don't go for the stuff that's hard.I once heard a guy say to the guitar shop clerk that he didn't like to play in front of people; he felt like people were judging him. The clerk said don't worry about, he used to feel the same way; just jam. So, my advice is just get used to playing the easy stuff in front of people, and don't go for the stuff that you know you will mess up on for sure. This way you will have less pressure on you because you know the piece so well. And when the inevitable time comes that you mess up, don't let people know you did. (it always comes for me) Just keep jamming. I'm fond of letting people know what I messed up on after they complimented me. They didn't even know I messed up most of the time, so I try to stop that. (I even have webcam stage fright when I'm broadcasting on ustream.tv) Very good points! Yeah key is playing for other people and getting used to. We all start with family and close friends and then move to larger crowd. Everyone has this problem at start but as sooner you get over the initial fear everything will be much clearer. Later on you get addicted to being in spot light so that you look for audience anywhere
