A small number of folk here might remember that I used to be in a (not very good) band, but I don't think anyone knows that a I stopped playing entirely when I went through a period of being treated for anxiety (it was really bad - I got through it after a couple of years of serious struggle with it but it left me with the 'yips' about playing guitar for some reason.
So this was a more than usually big deal for me.
I pitched up ampless (only have Helix/DXR now and didn't want to be "that guy") - so I had to plug into the Line In on a keyboard amp - it was barely audible and sounded like a muffled, err, keyboard amp - just terrible!
So I scurried off stage after a couple of random blues numbers but will take an amp next time.
(I'm the one with 335)
Red ones are better.

Hope you enjoyed it 'cos that's what it's all about!
(that's a nice Jag on the right too)
Congratulations and much respect for achieving this.
Also, it's funny seeing old boys playing surf coloured jags.
Don’t they normally have have a house amp?
The idea of just turning up to a jam night like that fills me full of total horror; I'm utterly convinced I'd just make a total arse of myself and never be able to go out in public again. So you have my boundless admiration just for doing it, let alone doing it against a backdrop of anxiety.
