In performing, the number one negative force that is preventing you from performing well on stage is stage fright.  Conquering it and completely removing it from your system is the number one thing that we should first take care of.  It prevents you from becoming your best on the stage, leading to poor performance and tons of mistakes.  We don’t want that especially on our first gig; because we want to leave a good impression to the people would show up on our shows.  That is why we should learn how to conquer stage fright.

First, the number one contributor on stage fright is stress and anxieties.  If you are so stressed before a performance, your brain is so worked out and you could not think properly.  And then negative thoughts would enter your head resulting to poor stage performance.  The best method to conquer this is to be mentally and physically prepared before a scheduled performance.  Do a run through on all of your routines, and your guitar parts on your songs before your set.  This would give you confidence that you know you what you are doing and you know what you will do on stage.  As simple as this you would conquer stage fright.
