Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I have resigned myself to that fact, I just keep on going

Nice! It's hard as fuck to not stop and start over. It can really fuck with your confidence.

When you're pushing a hundred watts of sound, a mistake can really stand out - even if it only stood out to you and your fellow band members.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of things that the audience never notices. Like, we roll in with full stacks or even double stacks if we're outside. Truth be told, we're not using all that gear. The front stuff is turned on, but the cabs in the back don't even have power running to them. We'd otherwise be too loud.

So, you have to remember that the audience probably didn't even notice - or care. There's a lot they don't notice. So, just push through it.

I figure if I just keep going the mistake will fade from their memory as the song continues. Especially if they are impressed by something that comes later in the song

Yeah, it's mostly in your head that it gets noticed - and in your fellow band members. They'll notice, especially if they're using you as a cue.

It's noticed when I drum sometimes. I have the tendency to race near the end of the song unless I'm paying complete attention. Fortunately, I don't perform as a drummer that often. It doesn't happen if I'm just drumming by myself. I'm not sure what it is when I'm playing with other people.
