Hey everyone, I've just come off a few gigs and I've been reflecting on how much I've learned from performing live. It’s amazing how you can practise for hours, but the real insights often come when you’re up there in front of an audience. I’ve noticed some aspects of my playing that fall apart under pressure, like timing and stage presence. I’m curious, what are some specific lessons you've learned from your own live performances that you've incorporated into your practice sessions? Any tips on how to better prepare or build confidence for the next gig? Would really love to hear your experiences!
