Tonights the night! All comes down to this... No matter what I'm going to have a good time. If I blow a solo or mess up so be it, I'm gonna have a good time. I'm bringing the Robot as my main axe and the Black custom as a spare and stage mojo... [cool] There is one tune I may use the custom on anyway cause it sounds incredible on the tune... Changed the the strings on both guitars, cleaned and polished them too... Do you think they'll know i'm a rooky....:-$

 

Set up and sound check went well today so I'm just gonna go with the flow and enjoy it... [biggrin]

Be sure to stretch those strings and retune several times before you go, especially if you just changed them today.

 

Good luck and HAVE FUN! [biggrin]

Good luck. My first gig was a wedding when I was 14. Got booed off. Funny when I look back. We all have to start somewhere. Belive in yourself.

As for people knowing you're a rookie...most folks don't pay any mind to what's happening onstage unless it is utter fail or pure magic.........or you're famous.

 

Hope it goes well for ya' buddy.

Best of luck.

Awesome' date=' did anyone film or record it? Love to listen[/quote']

 

Yes... [cool] The owner of the pub had a video camera and was taking some video. I have to pass by this week to see if I can get a copy. It wasn't like he shot the whole show though, just some parts.... I'll have a look to see if I can post something from what he got.

 

Over all we had a great time... Sure there were some mistakes and mess ups but the crowd and the energy was with us!! It was great!!

 

Thanks for all the support you guys gave me here as well...
