I am playin' at my school's homecomin' and it's my first gig, can somebody give me an instruction lol?

You're doomed.

NEVER make your first gig at your own school. I didn't play my school's Homecoming Dance til we'd been together over a year, so when we played that gig we burned the place down. I go to my 25-year class reunion and they are STILL talking about that gig.

Okay, I'm just giving you a hard time. Seriously? Just relax and enjoy it. They're on your side, they want you to succeed, they all want to have a good time. If you blow a chord / note / solo, just act like it didn't happen. Strut like you've playing for years, and you'll kill 'em.

Act like a rock star. It's about 75% attitude, anyway.

if you are a soloist with an acoustic guitar, the can't miss song is american pie by Don Mclean, you won't need another the crowd will love you just rehearse rehearse rehearse and post a pic.

Well im playin' a shuffle, It ranges from grunge to folk to Many Ranges of Alternative. Im playin' solo Knockin' on Heaven's door and the rest with a group.

Well like most things im just happen to be first in the lineup cause of my last name lol. But I'll take this advice very seriously and hope to see the best out of it .

When All Else Fails , Turn The Volume Way Way Up the Play the Star Spangled Banner with a terrifying ending of planes and bombs sounds coming from a guitar and then say "" Look at All Those Beautiful People ,,,, say god bless you and goodnite ,,,, wors every time

Good song selection.

Thank you .

Way to come up with the hard ones, Jay.

That's good advice for anybody playing anywhere... but how many can follow it?

As you should! Watching the bar bands in my town play, that advice is apparently too darn easy to forget!

In Zen Guitar the author suggests that you take a moment each time you pick up your guitar to remember that you are preparing to make music... that your intent is to make music.

You're not picking it up posture and pose, or to get girls, or to show up that jerk of a bass player in your band, or drown your sorrows or drown out the wife's voice any other reason but to make music.

In short, to play the right notes at the right time.

Jay, my friend... can you read?
