Hey Bob, that's a good post for for discussion imo. Just to add an issue in the same region which I face is that it can take a while to 'play myself in' which is fine when on my own or leading up to trying to record something but not so good if I want to play cold to someone else. Of course it helps having 100 hours in the fingers/vocals beforehand and to have a good half hour 'warm-up' before playing but in practice this isn't often possible. I suspect the solution is to practise playing in front of people to prove to oneself it's possible and becokme more confident but poor people lol!
