I've been playing the guitar for a while now, and this one bad habbit is annoying the hell out of me. Ever since i could play beyond 80bpm leads i tended to 'mouth along' to my guitar playing. It's quite embarassing when people see me shredding and my face contorting with every fret i hit. And the thing is when i play, i don't notice it until i hear people laughing. I noticed my friend gabe having the same problem when he plays dream theatre leads, but i'm sure alot of muscians out there don't have this problem. Some of my friends say that i end up concentrating too much on what i'm playing and my breathing goes off, they suggested i just have to keep counting in my head to get that sorted. But it didn't work, my breathings fine. And when i tend to clamp down on my lips to stop them from moving, they ...well... still move.

So does anyone have this problem or has anyone once 'had' it? How do i go about conquering this terrible Affliction?
