| Re: concert anxiety
I tried smiling ion a practice session today. I'm going to try it next week. I felt relaxed. It was an amazing thing.
Sam, like Greg said, there are many, many ways to deal with performance anxiety. Yoga, breathing excercises, meditation are a few. The more you perform, the more ways you have of dealing with it. The key is to deal with it, not battle it. Playing is alot like shooting a basketball. Once the ball is in the air, there's nothing you can do about it.
