my first performance

[MikeStrat]

hey guys just figured i would post this anyways this will be my first time playing guitar in front of a large audience so any tips for this kind of thing?

Go potty first. And just know that having a great preformance in front a large audience is like an addictive drug. Your going to crave the next one.

well we have 2 band concerts every year at school but its not like this is. me and the rest of the band (flutes sax's etc) are going to be in the middle of the gym floor surrounded on all sides by bleacherrs full of kids lol and considering aruond 96% of them are hip hop/rap/idiots it ought to be interesting when istart hitting pinch harmonics all over the place and doing the whole "herman li lift the guitar up by the whammy bar" thing LOL

ill play the super mario theme at one point becuase im always up for a random laugh.

LOL....nice

Maybe rethink that one

Oh wait, it's a high school... carry on.

I dunno Ron. When/if there are technical problems with things at our shows I have been known to break into the theme from "Beavis and Butthead", "King of the Hill" or even "Inspector Gadget" (The crowd ususlly gets involved in that one. I go Dun, da-da, da-Dun and they yell "In-Spect-Or Gadget")

Well, the super mario theme is ghey, that's why.
I'd rather hear something like the James Bond theme....

[Guitardude86]

i know how to play that too

Now that cracked me up - quote of the year
I mean, now we know you can play Super Mario Bros. AND the James Bond theme, maybe you can turn it into a living
Of course I'm only joking, having a misunderstanding at this point would be kinda embarassing:p

[slayer32390]

erm...i do make a living out of it. i set up a battery amp in the subway station with a hat and yeah......... just kidding lol i get bored so i learn stupid songs like that haha

[Emthrax]

Oh wow, is today the big day?!! Kickass!
You have a killer band director, man, that is so cool. Looking forward to hearing how it all goes down!
Representing with the RR3... sweet. Hope you get some pics!
