So now i had to go back and look at some pictures to see what i do!!

Yep, its all kinds of strange looks!

One thing i do that i'm trying not to is i grit my teeth of fast stuff and hold my breath!!

If i'm playing a fast run i'm also making faces!!

It would be something to lose a tooth and pass out with a funny look on my face!
Can you see a parimedic asking "Was he making love or playing steel"?

The band would probably anwser "Both"!!! Isn't it the same thing???

My expressions are also like I'm having a conversation with myself, usually "why did you mess that one up again?"
The most "popular" rock stars are often the ones with the most intense facial expressions Rolling Eyes

I've had lunch with Don a few times and I can tell you that he probably just has gas.

Laughing - Laughing Now there's a different approach--gas and steel at the same time---sort of "put the pedal to the metal" thing -- Laughing

I don't worry about faces. I just hope I don't snore.

I don`t make awful faces when I play

I have an awful face already, so any I make would be an improvement, I should hope.

I've seen pictures of myself playing with a constipated, tight-lipped expression. Now I try to focus on keeping my mouth more relaxed. It's not easy to focus on a better facial expression while trying to concentrate on my playing.

I dont care what kind of faces i make when I'm playing well. What Im trying to work on, however, is not making a sour face when i screw up thus tipping off everyone in the crowd that...i've just screwed up.

That was the only way I knew at the Skylark Ben, and I do believe I saw the f-word drift out once...We where all laughing at the back table when you did that, you could read your lips pretty easily !!
