Nope. Problem: Lousy gig. Don't you realize that all of those people are

Welcome to the real world.


If the pay is good, leave your ego in the parking lot and accept the
fact that you're acoustic wallpaper. Play songs that you're still learning
or practice hot guitar riffs. They'll never notice when you make a
mistake. But stay tuned to your audience. When you see that they're
actually listening, pull out your best material, and be sure to sell them
CDs before they leave.

Good advice. I'll add keep an eye out for good looking women on blind
dates with losers or assholes. Knowing which songs to play, and when can
turn a nowhere gig into a fountain of opportunity, especially if you're
single.

Do you really want to go out with women who date losers and assholes.?
