    This is very good perfromance advice BUT, ONLY if you've practiced the music and you know your shit COLD! If you don't, it's better for you to stay stationary and concentrate on playing your notes! That said, you shouldn't even be up there giging UNTIL you and your bandmates know your shit cold!

    There needs to be more instruction like this. You take these ideas and run with them, make it your own things. I came from the 80's when we all weren't too proud or too scared to actually do things like this. This was half the fun of being in a band. And yes, we could play.

    As a side note, this is a GUIDELINE of how to start thinking differently about your performance as a Guitarist. Most people that I work with can take my advice and run with it to the next level looking WAAAY better than I can. It's ultimately about performing better to give the fans a better experience than just standing there looking like an average joe. I hope this helps everyone take their own skills to the next level while making it your own! Thanks for watching.

      A little sway and body language can draw people in even if they don't particularly like the song or style of music you're playing.
      Ian Anderson of Jethro Tell is a magnificent example of this.
      His live performances are unique and engaging.

    Free movement while playing is a sign of knowing your material really well and a level of confidence.

I’m only doing for 30 seconds before I return to the stage. Very effective at winning the audience

      Uh yeah, but you have to recognize how hard it is to stand up and play guitar while singing and doing that for about 2 hours while under some lights that are hotter than hell. You go to a show for the experience of listening to musicians PLAY their music. If youre going for some dumb stage antics then youre there for the wrong reason.

  • @RickRodGaming
    @RickRodGaming 6 років тому +5

    As someone who used to perform just standing still, I can guarantee stuff like this is very important. These moves, as mentioned on the video, are basic, but very impactful. Remember, people do pay more to see their bands perform live than to the music itself because of how much their stage presence is. If you gonna see a band just play staying frozen solid in one spot, not moving much, that is just plain boring and not worth paying for. And stuff like this is not really just for musicians, but to any performer in general. You have to make the audience FEEL what you are performing, and if you are not achieving that, you are doing something very VERY wrong.

    I am a guitarist and a dancer and I find this video totally helpful. Of course, in a band you're a musician in the first place, but on stage, it truly is more than that. Sure it's gonna look weird, if you're faking it all the time. But this video is not meant to make you a dancer instead of a guitarist - these tips can help you connect to the audience and show them you're enjoying the gig.
    The point is to not look introvert when you're concentrated. Communicate with the audience and your buddies!

    • @joeyrhorror
      @joeyrhorror 7 років тому +31

      The problem is, is that some these "stage present skills," are contributing to improper form and technique on the guitar. I am sorry, but most of these "rockstars" that are shown doing these outrageous maneuvers are either playing with a track, or making an artist decision on going outside with what they are really playing. I agree that stage presence is a big factor for an audience, but as an artist you must stay true to who you are and not with how to become a tool for people to think that you look cool.
      Music is not about money and looking cool, this is partially why pop music exists.
      Be yourself and make good music, you make music that you enjoy, react to it accordingly. Don't be concerned with trying to be some flashy fool on stage.

    Good tips! I'm a bass player and I never know what to do. Since I mostly play in church I won't be rocking as much as you show, but this does help.

    Thanks Kevin. This was very helpful information. You are 100% right, these are very much needed because many times i got negative feedback from audiances that i stand like a puppet and perform playing guitar. Even though i play guitar well, i was criticised by many for not enjoying on stage and sitting and not moving.. Then i started playing guitar by standing . Your lesson was very helpful , will try this on my next stage show.. I am a guitarist by hobby :-) , perform many times in my corporate shows.. :-) .

    These are useful tips for looking more interesting on stage! I'm surprised by the number of negative comments. It seems many people are uncomfortable with the having to look interesting in addition to playing and singing well. Both are necessary. I think people come to live performances to see the performers as much as to hear the music. Live music often doesn't sound good because the PA is not adjusted right -- sad but true. But if the performers are interesting to see, it helps, and for many fans, it's the most important thing. Thanks for this interesting video.

    I don't know if I'm good enough at playing and singing that I can move around a lot at the same time, but I will certain use a wide stance and make use of the coordination and bodily awareness I've gained from lifting weights.
