Its really easy to strap on your guitar, plug into your amp, and blow a hole through the walls of your bedroom at mom and dads house, but coming out to play with other musicians, a band, or live gigs can be a traumatizing experience for some musicians who have never done it before. I know because I used to be one of them. The fear of messing up a guitar part, or something going wrong can rid your mind of the freeness to express yourself properly.
Playing live can drastically improve your skills as a musician. Interacting with an audience as a musician is one of the most fullfilling experiences you can have. Of course there are so many things that can go wrong as well, and those experiences should also be embrassed, you will learn from them. No matter how embarrassing something might be, it will make you stronger and you will learn from it!
Few things to keep in mind and prepare yourself for live playing. Always wrap your cord THROUGH the strap of the guitar so you dont accidentally unplug yourself, nothing worse than that!! Also, make sure if you have pedals to have extra batteries, as well as extra tubes if you have a tube amp. Of course warming up before a gig isnt a bad idea either, so you will be ready to play your best. Ive only included some of the basics here, its really a self learning experience for all of us!!! Best of luck, get out there and play live!!! Keep Rockin!
