You’ve got your amplifiers, you’ve been practising in a garage or small rehearsal room and things sound pretty tight. Now you’ve got a chance to play down at the local pub/bar.

Playing a guitar as part of a band can do wonders for you. The reason that I say this comes down to the fact playing guitar not only builds your skills and techniques, but it also builds your confidence when it comes to the limit of your own abilities.
