AFTER MORE THAN a year of no gigs, and with the end of lockdown hopefully in sight, I’m sure there will be many out there (including me) wondering what playing live again will be like. Will my amp still work? Do my guitars need a service? Can my hands actually stand an evening’s sustained playing? Are my chops still there?
So many questions, each as valid as the other. I’ve spoken to loads of musicians about it, and while each one was gagging to get ‘back on the horse’, as it were, they have all stated similar fears to those above.
