my first gig was at the place i took guitar lessons, the people there formed groups between us students and then we would decide what song we should play. it was basically a showcase for parents, friends and gfs/bfs to see us.
i ended up opening the show and i played sabbath's paranoid (i was singing and playing guitar), i was so nervous my knee was shaking involuntarly; later on, i played with other people, backing one of the guitar teachers on a blues number and then i came back to play and sing nirvana's about a girl. since then, i've never felt nervous before a gig, i feel anxious.
