As I don’t dress in a sequin suit and ensure fashion journalists cover gigs, I suppose it’s the music coming from my guitar rather than where my eyes are focussing that the audience are interested in.

My eyes do occasionally peer towards the guitar neck, especially if I’m sitting. Standing less so.

I recall a similar thread concerned with singers shutting eyes. Again, it’s the music. I’m some bloke, not Kylie Minogue. Mind you, in pub singarounds and small clubs I do shut my eyes quite often. Normally to prevent me getting angry with ignorant sods leafing through folders /iPads or talking whilst others are performing.

Rant over. Must remember to stare at my guitar more just in case I am ever in the lucky position to upset the op.
