1 - tune your instrument! Its amazing how many people forget! Tune before and after you play. Check the tuning whenever you get a moment, even if it's mid song.
2 - Use a tuner pedal or the guitar volume to turn your signal off when you are not using it - stops any unwanted noise or feedback
3 - Look at the audience and other band members, not your feet or fretboard When you see the smiles it will fill you with all the confidence you need.
And most of all? Enjoy it and have fun!
So last night we had our final rehearsal ahead of tomorrows gig. Up until last night, I had only ever played my guitar through practise amps and on the whole thought it sounded alright.
Last night though, I got to play through an old Marshall JCM2000 half stack, and.......Fuck me! I need a proper amp! Such a difference, and made me really excited about tomorrow night.
When I got home, I told the Wife that next year, I will be purchasing a 'proper' amp. She didn't seem to share my enthusiasm, but she'll come round...right??
Smash it!
*(may not be true)
Well, I survived...and fucking loved it!!
3 songs in the end (none of them remotely technical in any way), but really enjoyed the experience. All seemed to fly by VERY quickly. Made a couple of mistakes on the third song, but not sure anyone noticed apart from me and my tutor.
Cant wait to do it again.
Thanks all for your advice and words of support. Was greatly appreciated.
I had my first gig about 2 weeks ago and was sweating bullets...but like you i loved it and cant wait for the next one!

Well, here we go again. Weve got another student gig this Saturday night and the little group im in will be doing 4 songs. Again not remotely technical as im literally just playing rhythm, but it should be a good night.
Our 'Set List' (lol) is as follows...
Wasp - Wildchild
Buckcherry - All night long
Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross
Pantera - Walk
...so quite the mixture there.
The Wife is coming this time, and I made the mistake (cos I was being all cocky) of inviting a load of people from work to come along too. Not sure if any will turn up, but its adding to my fear
:P
