I Think The Most Important Thing About Playing Is To Walk Out With Confidence, Look The People Right In The Eye And Say 'here I Am,' And Go And Do Your Thing. As Soon As They Know You're Confident, They're Confident. As Long As You Adjust To Them You're Not In Trouble. You Should Eyeball Them, Find Out What They Want, And Give It To Them.

Paint Pictures With Sound. First, Find Your White-the Deepest, Roundest Sound You Can Play On The Guitar. Then, Find Your Black-which Is The Most Extreme Tonal Difference From White You Can Play.

Get Those Colors Down, And You'll Be Able To Express Almost Any Emotion On The Guitar.?
