Manolo Sanlucar...apparently he can tell the audience off, start cursing at them, ripp the strings off his guitar in front of them and walk off stage ...Now Thats !! a Tantrum...Brad are you loving this idea ? [:D] See Brad, when it comes to combating your performance nerves and stage fright you should copy the maestros. I bet no one would dare heckle Paco or Manolo. Actually, when you think about it, it's quite an effective technique to combat stage fright- instead of internalizing your fear, literally project your fear outward. Become the fear. Aim to make your audience scared of you. Sure, it doesn't make for a pleasant evening of music enjoyment, if your audience is sitting there, crapping themselves because they fear that you might attack them at some point during the performance. But at least you'll no longer feel nervous. Why should you feel nerves? If anyone even dares to cough or move. Stop playing. Walk over to them, real calm. Place the guitar in their hands and say:"OK, hot shot. Let's see how you do. Come on, big man, everyone's listening. PLAY." By the way, I literally crap my pants anytime I have to play in front of anyone. So I'm just working through my own issues here. Essentailly I like to fantasise about having the audience feel a little bit of my fear. See I'm a psycho. There I've said it. Now you know why I don't post here much.
