i was jamming out the other night...really getting into what i was doin....wanking/noodling/nothing in particular...and my wife started laughing....because.....
because...
my mouth started moving to the notes i was playing.. when i was younger i thought that was so funny when i saw guitarists "singing" the notes they were playing...
i must be chronic. i move my mouth even when i'm listening to cd's, radio, etc. its embarrassing to be sitting at the stoplight, moving your mouth and face to a solo, and realizing there are people looking and laughing at you! do any of you make "wah" faces?
mines more of a "wheedle deedly....weeeee weeeee wrrrr" face... also, if im really into it... my head kind of jerks to the side tothe beat... like im havin some kind of fit
but thats another story :)
yes. the stoplight is a place i get caught at too. except when im at the stoplight, i also play a really tiny air guitar...when my hands are on top of the steering wheel. now thats funny, i dont even realize im doin it and someones lookin at me goin...hmmm :) rock on -G
I've never been too comfortable with my voice, however for the most part I always gave into the urge to sing along with the compositions I've written over the past few years. Because despite whether or not you can really belt out those notes with your throat muscles, it's impoortant to find comfort in your voice, which definitely adds to your playing. I grew up singing and learning Bob Dylan tunes, so I've always taken the casual road when it comes to singing, nothing too fancy.

whats wanking? sorry i dont know the lingo...wait isnt that like the nerds with those glasses and people who clutch their guitar to their breasts while playing standing up, stuff like that?
Wankers (derogatory name) are people who play long, loud, self-indulgent solos that make them feel good, instead of making the audience feel good. Hence the masturbatory reference.
And these bozos have the utter tastelessness to indulge themseves in public! :eek:

Wanker = Bif Naked's guitarist. I saw him and I thought, what a tool. Then I met him and found out I was right. Some people need a kick in the head. *shrug*
