Viv,
it’s not Greek… Rogier is Dutch & his posts can be a bit… “cryptic” at times!!!
That being said, his heart’s always in the right place & he’s definitely a positive force working for good here… kind of our Yoda (but younger)!!!
By the way, AVOYP = Audio/Visual Of You Playing.
Neither AVOYPs nor creating a Learning Log are required… just optional for if you wish to do so… often, if you’re asking for help with something, pictures and/or videos can help the Community understand the issue - things like wrist pain or neck discomfort etc. are easier to diagnose if we can see your posture while playing, the chair you’re using… things like that. But, as I said, it’s all optional!
Have fun!!!
Hahaha - bless ya both
I’m defo going to post vids - apart from anything else, I can use them to track my progress.
Not sure whether to post this topic in a new thingmajig…but I want to ask people about stage fright.
I’ve done maybe 3 or 4 or 5 open mics now - and instead of getting easier, I found myself wanting to f^&*ing DIE with nerves and feeling really bad about myself for ages afterwards - and now I’ve got the fear big time…but really want to perform. Obviously, I will just keep on keeping on, but I’d love to hear what other people do and how people overcome fear and nerves and all that.
enter this in the search box in the top right corner and the first 2 at the top will give you more answers than anyone can give right now… enjoy reading
I was looking for people struggling with stage fright and I was offering 2 free sessions to a random pick of candidates. THese were already chosen and will be contacted soon.
@Viv_cee
I’m interested to hear your story though. Perhaps we can learn from each other.
Drop me a mail on lieven at justinguitar --dot-- com if you are interested
