I think these kind of videos and lessons are very important to show and tell. Mostly because it's a topic that is very often skimmed over or even a taboo. It's great to hear that even professionals struggle. I think it would be great to have more videos about it.

Hey Christiaan maybe a cool video idea for you. Could you make a "jazz guitarist tier list". It would be really cool to see what your opinion is on all kinds of players and I think it would make a great video. Just a suggestion tho. Cheers, Ludwig

So, I'm not 'free' from anxiety (who ever is) but here are some thoughts that have helped me: 1. This performance/solo/take is not a demonstration of me and my musicianship in its entirety. This is not a demonstration to the audience and other players of my "awesomeness". It's just THIS, NOW. Nothing more. 2. One of the main reasons I practise so much is to be able to gracefully recover from mistakes. Yes, we're all going to make mistakes. 3. Mostly, I play well inside of my actual ability. Performing and practising are two separate undertakings. As I've gotten more comfortable playing live, I've introduced more into my playing in that context. 4. Things really changed for me when I started focussing on rhythm. Whether it's other guitarists laying down a strong rhythm or a drummer, feel the swing and focus on making your solos sound good against the rhythm. Really focus. This squeezes out all kinds of other thoughts. 5 Pat Metheny said it best in a Rick Beato interview: his advice was something to the effect that if you get up on the bandstand and just play arpeggios, it's going to sound great and the audience will love it. See point 1. Thanks for addressing this Christiaan....great work Cheers. R.

Hi Christiaan. I started GJ guitar about two n half years back. I’ve been going through some intense general anxiety lately. It’s affected my ability to play quite seriously. Having made good progress playing 3 hours a day. Now feels like I went backwards. More right hand than left. I can barely look at the guitar now. Hmmm. Saw you and stochello and paulus at shrews 2022. If anyone has any advice please share. Cheers

I can recommend a good book about Anxiety and how to deal with it: "When Panic Attacks" by David D. Burns
