TOPIC: Intensity vs Nervous

Lately when I play I seem to be having an issue of trying to relax (so I don't get nervous) too much. As a result I am just not paying attention to what is going on. When I concerntrate too much I seem to forget the music and get so tight that it is a disaster. I think the balance may be the secret.

Don't know if you heard me tonight when I said I wanted to go where Brian goes when playing a song. EVERYONE knew what I meant......You look like you're in a trance...Let me know if you ever find that "balance".....(because I am having performance issues)

I noticed that as well. He looks straight ahead, and doesn't blink an eye. In fact, he hardly looks at the fretboard when he plays. It's almost like he's bored of the song he's so relaxed.

I have noticed Brian's unique performing style and have tried to incorporate it into my own playing.

I am inspired by how Brian's head tick tocks back and forth to keep the beat...like and old fashioned metronome....I tried it....and fell out of my chair.
