Hello rickster! Welcome to RP! Just a warning... Some of these guys bust balls. But it's all in good fun. Just remember that most jokers use the sanctioned smilies. If there is no smily interprit at your own risk. There may be some foul language but I assure you that everyone here is good people.

Again, welcome to RP!!!!

Welcome aboard! As far as stage fright goes, the new thing is to picture everyone in the audience with a monitor in front of them.

GL with the road ahead.

Welcome to Rockpage Rickster! You came to the right place if you want to get over stage fright. There are guys on here who play out all the time and I am sure that someone would give you guys a short openi9ong spot somewhere. just ask!

And it does happen to the best of them.

RP is the same yet different, like the NFL or the government, it takes on the personality of the people who are posting, playing or looting at the moment.

Good Luck with the band....

Welcome! Have fun!

Stagefright: Well, I hate to say it, but there's only one cure. You have to face it. I was an incredibly shy kid, and that carried past high-school. I had this dream of being in a band, and I could play a little, so I put a band together. We worked really hard, and when it came time to play that first gig, I thought about how much effort we had invested, and I just willed myself to do it. Even if I failed, I still felt relieved to have done it. It came out awesome. I did passably well due to all the work, but more importantly, the state of anxiety I was in pumped a lot of adrenalin into me, my heart raced for hours. After awhile it's like being high. Your mind is firing on all 8 cylinders, but you're still kind of a passenger, watching it all take place.
That's what makes you book your second gig.

Definitely take this post in. There's not much you can do about stage fright. Just be confident that you can do it, and want to do it! I mean come on, it's just people. Whether you do good or bad, you will still get lovers and haters, so just do your thing and enjoy what you do!

rickster · Post by **rickster** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 1:06 am

Well, I like so much music in the wide spectrum that is rock.Theres very few rock songs I dont find something i like about them.I really dig Skynard, Ozzy, Puddle of Muddand most of the main stream stuff, it depends on my mood.As for guitars, I really only have 1 to speak Of.Its the ebony Gibson les paul studio i just bought second hand.As soo as I got it home I got the paint marker out and let all 4 of my young kids doodle on it

.It helps me remember what is important to me.As far as amps I have a peavy valve king 212 combo and last week I picked up a line 6 spider iii 75 watt ss amp.It is now my goto for practice.I found a used fvb express pedal for it ( If the guy shows up to sell it to me friday).They take a unique pedal.
