Here's a problem I've been struggling with for quite awhile.
I've been playing guitar and singing for many years now, but had the devil of a time overcoming my fear of playing publicly. i did eventually manage to work it out, and have played with bands and on my own for quite a few years.
But when I play in a band setting, I ofeten run into this problem of just kind of "locking up" when my turn comes to play/provise a break. I can practice on my own and things are quite fluid and pleasurable. But up on stage, suddenly I become very tight and lose my confidence and end up often playing in a way that isn't very satisfying.
Any catters out there relate to this? anyone overcome it? Any advise, or tips I might try? sb
