I'll have to try that foot-forward approach. I have some disc problems in my back anyway and anything to help is appreciated. I usually wind up having to rotate my shoulders during a set to ease the pain.

I have several posts on stage fright, check them out and let me know if something help you!

Thx for the comment and keep in touch!

Haven't had any aches or pains, but I do usually have my guitar neck up. Will try out putting one foot more forward, though; that's a good idea– anything that can open me up for better breathing and singing is very much needed. I tend to freeze up with tension, so there is already constriction happening just because of stagefright.

I so want to have a low-slung guitar, but it's just not going to work! Nor will a short strap do. 🙂 Angling is really the best way.

Just discovered your site, The approach is compatible with the small amountt of pop coaching I've had in ATL . . . and your life experience and humanity really shines through. Thank you.
