The other possible tip is if you have a section that you feel is hard (fast legato, alt picking, complex flatpicking etc etc) then have a backup version - a simplified one that you could nail in your sleep. But it sounds like you've prepared well enough that the muscle memory will kick in.
And don't get pissed, that won't help!
smile a lot
try and act, or feel your lyrics, put emphasis on the “feeling” words and phrases
I.e sing as if it means jt
Enjoy, people are very tokerant
@IntoTheRough ; A great tip about having a simplified section ready. I'm struggling with one of the lead breaks, especially if we start too fast, so I'll try and figure out something. It's nothing too complicated but I'm no lead player.
The setlist is this;
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
A fairly common trait of the ones I've been to is the singer boots the first couple of lines, maybe even the first verse, but after that they're completely fine. I include myself in that.
So don't be surprised in the slightest if that happens to you, and don't let it faze you, just carry on carrying on and it'll all be good.
Oh, and don't worry about your mistakes - no one in the audience will be double checking you against the tab, you know! (Though I have genuinely seen people do that at classical concerts, believe it or not!)
Even on the off chance you are rubbish (and given the amount of practising you’ve been doing I’d say there is 0% chance of that), those songs are murdered on most weekends in most cities across the country and you’ll be a damn sight better than many who’ve sung and played them!
As yer man above says, open mic audiences tend to be supportive, not critical, so it’ll be fine.
If you fancy some added pressure of course you could always live stream it on here for us all to watch! :-)
Most people won't notice any mistakes anyway!
When you do make a mistake (we all make them) don’t give yourself away by grimacing.
Feel the fear and just do it - what's the worse that can happen, good luck and enjoy
Edit - didn't even notice the joys of being dyslexic
