Again- Thanks for the nice comments. You can’t believe how tentative I was to post a video……… (let alone how tough it was because I didn’t know what the hell I was doing).
Shi and Justin— I remembered what an old friend told me about playing “in front” of people- (I assume it’s the same in videos too)- He said “You have to able to not care if you make a fool of yourself– and just laugh it off”. (Note- He’s played in sort-of-well-known bands in our area for decades- he is GOOD). He said to just make up my mind to do it……… and let ‘er rip!!!
It’s weird—– I practice for ACCURACY- but play with more recklessness- hoping my “practiced” brain-memory will carry me through. It only works sometimes for now🙃.
Maybe you can see that in the “loose” way I play compared to others in here. My fingers are flyin’ everywhere, and if I flub something up– just keep going! Over time, super-accuracy will come- but for now– “lettin’ ‘er rip” works for me.
Botton line——– go for it.
