So what went through your head? Were you nervous? Did you mess up? What?

Meh... I actually always played in front of people. I practice when all my friends were around. (unless i have something to say I'm pretty withdrawn from conversations, so it sort of worked.)
I think that made it easier for me to play in front of my first real audience though, and everything just sort of flowed. Of coarse I made mistakes, but everybody does, but I'm kind of a glory hog when I can be so I wasn't nervous at all.

"Holy crap, I did not practice enough. These people do NOT listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm just gonna embarrass myself."

Yes, I was nervous, and oh, I messed up. Not only that, my cable snagged and you can see most of it here-

Man my second time my cable jack broke off, but I played with out my amp, and I was sweating, but after I went upstairs, everyone sad I was still pretty good. I played Tears In Heaven...My first time was pretty good.

It was natural feeling. At a nursing home I worked at, I was asked by a co-worker to play a show there with him for the residents. I started coming in bi-weekly I loved playing so much.

Yeah I was pretty nervous. ..My fingers where kinda shakey and I would try to play every little thing fast. not intentionally tho. It kinda felt like when I do when I've done something wrong. Deer in the headlights kinda thing. I'm glad thats behind me. Sorry for people that still go through it.

I had played the song constantly before I performed it, so I was sure I knew it really well, but I still messed up XD
But it wasn't that bad. I was horribly nervous, but I just kind of got over it.
I was so bad back then. XP
