Live Guitar Performance: Make Your First Time Memorable

Some great performance tips to ensure you rock out rather than suck.

After playing the guitar for a while you'll probably be ready for your first live guitar performance - and this can be very nerve wrecking for some people!

It's important to remember that people love hearing live music, and no matter how bad you might think you did, there will always be at least one person who thought the performance was awesome!

Before playing your first live guitar performance, be sure to follow these simple and practical tips to help you make it a performance you will never forget!

Be yourself - The last thing you want to do is go up onstage pretending to be someone that you're not - unless it is part of your act to play a "role". Be yourself and smile at your friends and family during any live guitar performance.
Engage the audience - Some people close their eyes when they are really into a live guitar performance, and this is fine, but be sure to make eye contact with the audience periodically throughout your performance. This will let them know that you are in control.
Don't get drunk - This is huge. If you are nervous about your first live guitar performance, it's okay to have a few beers before the show but the last thing you want to do is get completely wasted and make a fool of yourself. A sober mind is a mind in control.

Your First Guitar: Choosing the right style

Make sure you're first guitar is one that you absolutely love!

Whether you want a semi-acoustic or a 7 string Ibanez electric guitar, you need to decide on what type of guitar you want to buy for your first guitar. This might depend on the style of music you enjoy playing or if you plan to record your own music.
