  • Don't know how you were speaking coherently. Whenever I play a gig, the few hours before, I can only mumble nonsense, because I get so nervous. Do you have tips for keeping nerves down? I need them :(

  • Do it a lot. It's the only tip I can give. I didn't sleep and couldn't eat before my first few gigs. But now I was literally eating on stage just before the show started. The more you do it, the more you get used to it!

  • I've found it can be helpful to bring more than one guitar, especially in case of string brekage. You can just switch off straight away.

  • Very important. I always do that too, can't believe I left out that tip here. Maybe because I didn't bring one on this gig, because I left it at school ;-)

  • nice, loved the music while you were packing

    i always get told never to tie leads in a knot like that coz it damages them or something i have to kinda loop them and then use a loop of velcro to secure it =)

  • Oh wow, I think the ukulele on the sofa is the same as my one. =)

    Can you play it?

    I can a bit, but not well yet.

  • Nice tips... I don't think I need them soon, but they sound good ^__^

    Also, about the capo thing (again) I pronounce it exactly like you do. Dutch pronounciation ftw I guess :p

  • GT-3 thats pretty old school

  • heh, I don't consider myself a musician, but a lot of that is pretty much common sense. However other tips you gave were fairly decent that I didn't know ^.^

  • Nice work :D

  • Wow, you actually put me in the video on this channel, I was wondering where those subscribers were all coming from :)

  • Oddly enough I was like who is Robbie??? OHH he is saying rubbish now that makes sense.

  • That was educational, as with anything preparation is the key to having it go smoothly :)

  • any reason to take your trousers off in a video JB....

    but seriously this was really helpful. I'll have to remember it for future gigs :)
