For 2023 I have decided to try live performance. I've rarely ever done it before (like I can count 3 times in my life before this year). I did my first Open Mic in January (solo singing/acoustic, performing my own song). It went pretty well. I made a couple of minor mistakes, and I was generally happy with it. I just did it again. This time with my Casino running through an HX Stomp into the PA. Again, performing my own song -- a different one -- but this time it just didn't feel right. The guitar sounded distorted when it should have been clean, and while I felt relaxed the entire time, my fretting fingers felt really stiff. Of course, I played it great before and after, so the only explanation is nerves. And in front of a supportive crowd, too!
Anyway, nothing to see here, and I'm sure I just need more exposure, but if anybody has any thoughts that would be cool.
BTW: while it wasn't the guitar, it was the player, next time I'll probably use my Paul's Guitar.
