Dude, good to see you! I was worried you dropped off of the steem train for a minute there. The cycle you described is something a lot of people experience I think. Not practicing enough due to nervousness, then being nervous because you haven't practiced... blech, it sucks. *"So far, the only way I can see to get over it is to continue practicing, recording, and listening to myself until I'm comfortable enough in my ability to finally be able to perform in front of people."* This is so it. For me, the only way to get past nervousness is to just... do, over and over. And hopefully not to use meth, haha, maybe just stick to a bit of beer or weed to get the edge off :-)

Steem won't get rid of me that easy, haha. I just find it takes me about a week to get back into the swing of things after visiting my friends for a few days. Haha, no amount of beer or weed can help me when it comes to playing music for people. Large quantities of whiskey might help but my stomach isn't able for that kind of abuse anymore, haha.

Great insight guys. I have a closet full of these tshirts. I believe that a useful way to get over performance anxiety is to treat it like practicing a musical passage. For a passage you would work on something that is within you grasp, or maybe JUST beyond. This way your chance of learning the passage is quite high. If you tackle something far beyond your abilty the frustration will be debilitating. Thing of performaces the same. I ONLY perform pubically material i have mastered or pretty close. I never play material that has ANY chance of falling apart because it will. Then the performance will be a negative experience for me. So my advice is to choose material to play that is below you max musical ability. Well below. You then let your guard down a little more. You can relax and enjoy the experience. You can build your confidence. The stage and practice room need to be separate beasts. Separating the 2 in this way will take a lot of stress away. Just my thoughts :) Cheers Bucky
