It's pretty neat how much easier and enjoyable playing for an audience becomes when we take the focus off ourselves. Thanks for your comment, A914Man, and best of luck to you in future performances. Hope you get back in your sweet spot soon.

Sometimes you have to trust those voices around you in lieu of the one in your head, Kasperow. It's not always easy, I know. And if you feel you've reached a plateau in your playing, look for ways to shake things up in your practice. Try a new sound or technique. Something to keep your playing fresh and ever-evolving. Thank you so much for all your kind words. You may've just pointed me in the direction of my next topic. ;)
