oooh the nerves.. I thought I was gonna wreck havoc with all our songs, luckily my fingers could grip the chords and my hand kept rhythm but wow what an experience this was! nothing could've prepared me for this, even a few beers didn't work, it felt as if all the spotlights were on me :rolleyes: the nerves stayed the entire time (we did 4 songs) and during one song my hand almost cramped up lol damn barre chords.. but I had fun!!

luckily it all went ok, rough but fine, we got a lot of enthusiastic response! everyone loved our reggae-arrangement of 'Superstition' and two songs we wrote ourselves :) the performance was with five bands who also take courses at the music school, so a lot of critics in the house, you gotta love your fellow musicians! :D

now I can't finish this without a live picture, so here it is, me playing the bass for one of our own songs

Awesome dude! Congrats! I promise the more you play in front of people, the easier it gets and the better it makes you!
