Rehearsing With My Band & How I Deal With Feeling Incompetent.

It’s weird for me. I just got back from my band’s rehearsal session, and I’ve only just noticed that one of two things ever happen in this case. I either feel really happy with how I performed, or I feel somewhat depressed about it. 

I’m not exactly a brilliant musician mind you. I’ve only been at guitar for almost four years and I’ve been singing way less than that, but I feel like when something doesn’t go to my plan, it always ends up ruining my day in some sense of the word?

Overtime I know it’ll wear off, but I don’t want to waste precious time not being good. I think my brain doesn’t like the idea that you have to be bad for a long amount of time in order to be good. It’s a sad fact of life for any creative.

I think switching my mindset is probably the best way forward for this. I need to stop expecting that I’m gonna be George Michael when I step up to the microphone, or Frank Iero when I’m thrashing my guitar.
