Topic: How Many of You Play Live?
In the 18 odd years I have been playing guitar I have only once played in front of an audience and that was when I made made to when I was about 11 year old in middle school.
Me and a friend played cats in the cradle in school assembly and I was petrified.
Since then I have only ever really played in front of one or two close friends since then and even then I do not feel that comfortable with it.
I have only been in a two bands. One band lasted a few weeks as none of the members (apart from me) regularly turned up on time for practice, if they even turned up at all.
The next band was much better but there was already another guitarist and the music didn't really call for two so I felt like a bit of a spare part that didn't do a lot.
So now I reside to playing guitar alone which I am quite happy with for now.
So how many of you play live and how often? Do you play for free or do you make a bit from playing?
