Chill Dude,

Don’t expect too much initially, just learn your craft!

Like everything else the more you do it, the better you get at it ! Don’t take the knocks too personally and dot let success go to your head !

And remember, the most important thing is to have fun !

If you break a string on stage, so what, enjoy doing it !

Also getting a line tester is not a bad idea, this will ensure that whatever you plug in to is grounded. Much better than un intentionally providing the pyrotechnics!
