That’s pretty cool man, I am cool as a cucumber to play backup guitar at open mic but if they asked me to sing I would run away.
Dude I feel that so much! Well as a drummer. I mean at a certain level I'd get anxiety but I feel I could jump in front of a wayyyy bigger crowd than I ever deserve to be in front of on drums, especially if I knew the people playing and feel pretty good, at least for a song or two.
Put me on the mic doing the full, hey look at me, are you not entertained? fuck. it's super scary honestly. It's good though. I have a lot of anxiety issues. I can only see small results as I just started but I think it'll go a long way in playing and hopefully general confidence.
I used to be scared to talk to people and would just force myself to do it. This is kinda the same thing in a way.
Some people don't want to and that's cool. But if you eve want to I def encourage anybody to give it a try. Even worst case ontario it's a pretty good feeling to have done it, and most people in the crowd probably won't have rotten cabbage on hand to throw at you lol.
That's sick just playing music in general. I miss playing when I lived back east. Haven't played consistently in years. And even then was "consistent" ya know. But I had to move out of that area. But yeah just any kind of music is sick. Jamming with people is the best. Sometimes you don't want to/need to be in the front.
I never did but kinda hard on the acoustic thing lol. Sorta have to. But it's going okay.
I'm tired and suck at straight forward replies sometimes. Hopefully this was partially legible.
