    Default Playing a Street Party...

    Well it looks like I'll be playing a street party this upcoming weekend with the folks I've been playing with the past couple of months. It's just a casual street gathering with some activities for the kiddies and some live music. It's been a long, long time since I've played in front anyone, let alone a gathering of 50 to 60 people... but I think that I'm comfortable and ready for this.

    The music is 'classic rock', and I think we have about 25 songs that we'll end up playing. Some I'm comfortable playing... others I'll just have to try and wing it. Should I be nervous?... I'm not sure. I bet I'll feel it a bit when we play our first tune, but I'm just having too good of a time to really worry about it. I'm hoping that I can capture some of it on video to share here, as this site has been great in supporting wankers like me develop my guitar playing amongst what I consider to be a great sharing community!

    Wish me luck folks... I'm really looking forward to this! :

    Thanks for listening...

    You'll do great! That sounds a lot like the party I was at last weekend, where I was invited to join the band for a few songs. I had no choice but to wing it. I am sure you will be better prepared than I was, and it will be just fun anyway!

    Thanks SVL Steve! :

    You've had great experiences playing live the past while, and I'm hoping to grab some of the fun that you're recently experienced too!

    Good luck, David, and have fun.
    I played at a benefit last Sat. with a band that re-formed for the nite. They hadn't played together for two years, and I'd never sat in with them. It turned out to be lots of fun, and we raised some money for a good cause.
    I bet you'll have a great time once the music starts and you get in the zone. I can't say that we sounded like pros, but we didn't suck, either.
    We did mostly classic rock also, and after the first couple songs it was lots of fun.
    Have a great time.:

    Good on ya! You'll have a blast, 2 songs in and you'll just be enjoying yourself so much that you won't be thinking "can I?" - it'll just all start to flow.

    I can't say that I'm speaking from experience as far as guitar playing goes, because I've yet to play in public - but I sang with bands twice this summer for the first time and felt the same way you've described - yet once we got going I was just...there!...y'know?
