Getting ready for any type of guitar performance can be a little scary at first Jamel Dean Buccaneers Jersey , but if you are well prepared, you will find the experience much easier to handle. Whether you''re playing with a band, or by yourself; are a seasoned performer, or a rookie; there are several things you can do to make the most of your performance. First and foremost Sean Murphy-Bunting Buccaneers Jersey , realize that you are not the first one on the block to ever feel jittery about playing your guitar in public. It''s a common experience among musicians, and being a little nervous can even work in your favor.

There is always a mysterious struggle that goes on inside me when I''m about to give a performance. I think it''s something akin to the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde phenomenon. Two voices bantering for my attention, the good guy and the bad guy. Mr. Hyde tells me that I must be out of my mind. What makes me think I''m good enough to get up on a stage and play my guitar before an audience? Who do I think I am anyway? On the other hand, Dr. Jekyl tells me that I''ve worked hard practicing my guitar and know the material well. It will be fun to share what I''ve got with others so they can enjoy hearing it too.

Because I am basically a shy person, it would be much easier for me not to play my guitar in public. But there is a certain drive, almost a need I have, to express myself through music; especially with regard to playing my own material. Yes O. J. Howard Buccaneers Jersey , there is a certain risk involved; it''s called being vulnerable. Anything could happen... A string could break (been there), you might forget the words or chords to the song (been there), you might make a mistake and have to start over (been there too). But no matter what happens, the world will go on and you will discover that people are very supportive and encouraging overall. I''m always amazed when I get positive feedback over a performance that I thought was absolutely awful. It provides me with more incentive to continue on.

So how can you make the most of your guitar performance? Below I''ve put together several suggestions for you to consider. They are in no particular order of importance. Some may be relevant to you at certain times and irrelevant at others. Just take what you need and ignore the rest.

1. Develop a repertoire (song list) of approximately ten to twelve songs and memorize them.

2. Make sure you select songs with different tempos and rhythms for your performance in order to create and sustain interest from your audience.

3. Pick songs with varying degrees of difficulty Vita Vea Buccaneers Jersey , but don''t overestimate yourself. Be realistic about your own ability. You want to pick songs that you enjoy and are able to play well on your guitar when no one is watching. If you find that you are constantly making mistakes in a particular song, give yourself more time to get it down before actually performing it in public.

4. Practice playing with distractions. You will be amazed at how beneficial this can be. I remember playing at an outdoor concert once where the band that was to follow mine was warming up right behind us! Tamborines and all. One of the bandmembers actually started asking me questions about my guitar performance and wanted to know how I learned to play like that! It was very weird, but all I could do was ignore her. After that experience and a few others like it, I began practicing my repertoire with the T.V. and radio turned up pretty loud to mimic such distractions.

5. Start your performance off with something that you find easy to play on the guitar and graduate to the more difficult pieces later. This will help you to warm up your fingers and get comfortable with being on stage. I usually like to start with a strong Mike Evans Buccaneers Jersey , upbeat song in order to gain the attention of the audience and rid my stomach of butterflys.

6. Get a good night''s sleep the night before your performance if at all possible. That will help keep you fresh and alert and also reduce your level of anxiety.

7. Avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine.

8. Have all your clothes, equipment, contact information and directions ready the night before.

9. Always have extra strings, pics and guitar batteries Jameis Winston Buccaneers Jersey , etc. in your gig bag.

10. Relax, take a deep breath and try to enjoy yourself. After all, it''s just another part of the learning process and tomorrow''s a brand new day!
