First time this bedroom guitarist played out

Totally agree. We do a lot of Lincoln Brewster stuff in church which is always a challenge for me, as well as Trans-Siberian stuff at Christmas. My hands always get clammy and I start to forget the solos, but as long as I take a deep breath and focus on why I'm there, it usually goes well.

First time this bedroom guitarist played out

So good to see I'm not alone on the nerves thing. I've played P&W for the last 20 years, and bar bands for similar amount of time, and I still get locked up over nerves. I always get poked at because I NEVER lift my head up when I play because of the nerves.

Your reason/justifcation for buying more guitars? help!!

I have about 45 guitars now. I don't play out anymore, and I've sold all of the ones that I didn't truly care for. I'm an average player, but I just love guitars. My wife loves my collection, so no need to justify anything.

I feel the same way. I don't have time to play all that much, but when I do I'm totally satisfied by just a few presets. Between the Fractal hardware and my Suhr guitars, I can die happy.

I have several LP customs, as well as a few of the Heritage H-14x models (old Gibson folks), and for half the price, the Heritage models blow away the LP customs as far as playability and tone for me. Wish I never dumped that much cash on the Gibson LP's.
