I've loved making music (writing and playing) all my life. I've essentially never been able to play in front of people without the trembling rendering me unable to hit notes right.
But I also have very little experience even trying to play in front of an audience.
Finally went to an open mic the other day and everyone was very nice but it was an actual disaster. Probably my worst attempt to perform, ever, for whatever reason.
I don't think it's an issue of needing more practice with the songs themselves. The issue isn't just flubbing notes, it's literally becoming physically unable to accurately play because my hands are quaking.
So I'm wondering, if I just go a few times a week to like a park or a street where it's permitted, and just play essentially for my self while people walk by, over time could this help with those shakes? Or is it just going to be too different from the experience of playing in front of an intentional audience? What is your experience with this?
