When I was on stage for the first time I was a bit nervous (even a couple of days before) but half way into the first song my focus had moved from the audience to my guitar playing.
Always start with an easy song, that way you get more confident and able to manage the rest as well. Try to not mind the audience, convince yourself that no one can make it better than you. They are there to watch and enjoy the show, nothing more. After you have been on stage enough times it’ll be like a walk in the park. Something you’ll feel quite comfortable with. You enter your bubble, focus on having the gear in order and your guitar tuned. Know all songs by heart! Your worst enemy is yourself, if you start doubting how a song was arranged, which key the solo was in etc – simply put, if you start thinking you’re smoked. Know your role and perform by heart. Stick inside your bubble and don’t wander off, it could burst. …is that even graspable? That’s at least how my experience is. By the way, I perform sober since I think I owe it to the audience and my band mates. -------------------- My bands homepage

I came across a website this week, and one of the articles that I read seems to add to this topic nicely: http://www.thewizardofshred.com/index/4-si...super-confident.
I know it looks super cheesy, especially with the suspect pictures on the right, but it's good stuff. -------------------- Ibanez 2550E
