So listen to the tracks, find the its that make it interesting and make sure you nail them. Oh and don't be afraid of not playing anything.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
A Chuck Berry esq duck walk across the stage especially during her big note moments would be perfection...
Other songs in the set (Brick in the Wall PT2, Purple Rain, Who's Cryin' Now) I get to stretch out a bit but always keep in context with the song - Brick for instance - if I start doing Eddieism's over it all it becomes a wankfest rather than keeping in character of the song and nobody appreciates that no matter how good you executed it..
If its any consolation, apart from a very few comments about me (and I mean a few!!) people are most complimentary about the band as a whole - without us all it wouldn't be the band that it is - without you playing guitar @Jetfire for T.A then T.A wouldn't be T.A....
I know for a fact you can play and you are already leagues ahead of a lot of the players around here (its that Bogner Cab!!) so I wouldn't worry about it, just enjoy it, don't overplay and don't give yourself massive hurdles to jump by thinking you could be better..
Just don't be the sax player in The Commitments

@welshboyo is always too kind, hes a top player himself, im uber jealous!
Rather weirdly after posting this, I watched the Pete Thorn and Phil X video on how to kill it. Awesome video, the men are proper legends, enthused me to get back to playing and hard graft.
The vocal line idea I've been toying with too so I may have to do some woodshedding too @NickBotfield !
Play enough to make a favourable impression.
Try not to outstay your welcome.
Typical cover versions band audiences want to sing along with familiar lyrics, wiggle about slightly out of time with the beat and neck alcoholic beverages. Clever "musician" stuff will go right over the heads of the majority. If you believe that you have a soul, prepare to have it slowly destroyed.
As mentioned ^^^^^^ 3 string triads on the neck sound great.
If you aren't a walking guitar grimorie, you can still play cowboy and great barre chords - just only play the top / bottom 3 or four strings leaving some air.
(The ONLY exception is of course Teenage Kicks )

its live music - minimalist is for the hifi
live you you want to see energy and passion and enjoyment from the players
