Hello everyone. I was away for a while because I was busy preparing for my first gig. My initial plan was to perform this year at Justin’s Community Open Mic event, but the opportunity showed up in October to play a December Xmas gig in the internal event in the company where I work.
We performed five songs, and I played guitar in three of them. It was a great experience that I’d love to repeat. Although also stressful. But I hope there will be less stress each time.
Here’s a short edit focusing on my guitar playing. The camera is close to my amp, so you hear mostly me on the video. I blurred everyone to respect privacy. Maybe it will be possible for me to post the full gig with others included in the video later.
I want to thank you all for the support I received since joining the community. My first step to play outside my bedroom was joining this community and posting AVOYP. Your pieces of advice, encouragement, and the inspiration I got from your personal stories, AVOYPs, and open mic events led me to this first gig. You are the best. Thank you!
Hi Kamil
The video certainly has some good vibes… next time you should just put the phone in someone’s hands and record a few short pieces from the front… (or put the phone higher on a tripod )
Greetings,Rogier
Great stuff, Kamil
I can see why you put blur-vision on till you get permission. That’s dangerously close to ‘upskirting’
(Oh yeah, always add a warning before springing Last Christmas on the unsuspecting public for all those playing Whamageddon)
Happy Christmas!
@roger_holland Thank you, also for the advice. There is a recording showing the front of the stage. If it gets uploaded to YouTube and people will feel okay sharing it, then I will post it here too.
@brianlarsen Thanks. The singer actually gave people heads up before we played Last Christmas.
First gig? That’s some tasty playing for a first gig; I think the stage a lot more for you to offer in the future! Far better than my first gig
Not much I can tell you for guitar but something I tell the bandmates for our company work and my Point Fifty bandmates as well; look up, look at the people, smile, radiate fun!
I couldn’t possibly expect that from a first gig but in keep in mind a band is there to entertain (goal) while making music (the means to an end)
