LessonTen

The most nerve wracking experience I had being with a band was actually when we're performing in front of an audience. I get nervous while the rest of the band seems to be doing ok. It's different when we're just jamming in the basement. I wanted to hide behind our drummer. When I play, I'm always looking at my left hand as if I'm talking to them. Sometimes I needed a kick start so i'll finished a six pack of beer and that buzz helps me. Relying on any kind of mind altering substances to think that it can transform you to be better, is a bad idea. That can do more harm than good. After each performance, you're not allowed to drive, sometimes you just making a fool of yourself. Says alot about my self esteem. I was young and naive and stupid. I'd learned my lessons. Those were the days.
I'd read an interview in the magazine one time and learned the best advice if ever to be onstage. Audience loves to be in eye contact with the performer, so Her advice was to focus on the EXIT sign in the back. I thought that was awesome, I'll definitely do that. Unfortunately, the last gig that we did was our last before the advice could be implemented.

Lesson 10 is the last part of the opera section. Have a nice one, God Bless.

LessonNine

Another good way of learning guitar besides taking lessons, is to join a band. Maybe a couple of friends. That's how we'd started. Our drummer doesn't even know how to play the drums back then, he bought a drum set and start learning. I learned timing and respecting other people's boundaries. Most of the songs that I know, they don't. Some of the tunes they know, I don't have a clue. But we'd learned to worked together. Timing is probably the most crucial part, when one lost the rhythm or beat, everybody goes with it too. I missed those days. It's been over ten years, now we have family and priorities. But the spirit is still there.
