Good advice. I would add, know your parts, practice! When all else fails just listen to your bandmates, know your parts, tune-out the audience until you find yourself again. Simplify the mindset down to "me and my band doing what we know how to do". There's a confidence in that assuming you've put in the work.
good points - thank u for watching and for ur insights - most appreciated. And please check out some other of my lessons and enjoy and stay tuned - lots more lessons and content coming soon. I also have another TH-cam channel at ROCK ON GOOD PEOPLE here: th-cam.com/users/rockongoodpeople - which is more instructional based and not song based like this channel - be sure and check that one out also - lots of killer lessons and content as I post on both channels. And no pressure but if u want to donate to the channel I now have a Tip Jar link in the YT description box if u would like - but again, no pressure. Keep up all that hard work on that guitar and please SUBSCRIBE to the channels - that really helps me to keep bringing the content. Take care, and rock on! -David Taub, Next Level Guitar Inc. & EGI
My approach: Just do what you're afraid of. Go out and play where people are. On the streetcorner, bus stop, in the park or small venues. You'll mess up first, but the more you do it, the less you'll think about it.

Thank you, Mr. Taub. This is very timely. 26 years of noodling alone with nobody around to two years of intensively practicing & learning with another super gifted beginner & occasional jam sessions with very experienced vocalist, keyboard, & guitarist and I’m learning more quickly but occasional anxiety about my ability being critiqued (nobody is judging me) & this chat from you helps me SO MUCH. God Bless!

Yes good video. I have noticed my skill reduced as I performed live. It's because of the infrequent amount of playing live. Once you keep doing it, you get more comfortable and it gets easier.

It really messes with my hands.. esp on tougher licks that are right on the jagged edge of not being playable.. add an audience all staring at me and my hands stop functioning like I need them to
Hey man thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips on how to over come the nervousness. Last night I played an original song on stage for the first time and I couldn't get my leg to stop shaking man. Before I went up I kept trying to calm my heart rate down but sense I was trying to resist it it almost made it worse. This is something I was truly scared to do but I did it anyway. Your words and tips really helped me a lot and next opportunity that presents itself to me I will remember what you said thanks man and take care.
awesome! Congrats on feeling that fear and doing it anyway - u rock. And believe me it will get easier and easier each time. The shaking will lessen and lessen so keep at it and try to enjoy the process. Nice work! And thank u so much for checking out this video and for ur kind words - really appreciated!

@@EpicGuitarInstruction Hey David, thank you for the quick reply! UPDATE: I just played 6 songs in front of an audience. I looked at my FitBit and noted my heart rate was in the 80s and 90s. One loses fine motor skills when it’s up like that due to stress. Yes, I flubbed an ultra-difficult Barney Kessel jazz piece but made up for it with the other songs. You are correct. Nobody noticed. But - I noticed!!! Interesting phenomenon. Oh - and I’ve been playing since Jimmy Carter was President but rarely perform. The only way past this is to continue performing.
awesome - glad you got through the first one - that is the hardest - please know it gets easier and easier each time. You can do it. Keep playing and performing.
