Performance Tips for Beginner Guitar Players // singing while playing, stage fright, & preparation

[@mikisversion]

I’m not a beginner beginner, but I also don’t know if I’m intermediate. Lol. But your tips are very helpful.

[@lilianajoelee4602]

As a 12 year old who started playing guitar in December, you have helped me so much to be able to write my own songs with music and help my musician career!

[@NenaShelby]

yay that’s awesome!! 🤗💓

I’ve been avoiding barre chords this past year cause I don’t really wanna deal with them. But just a few days ago I said you know what I’m gonna tackle these chords. And I would really appreciate it if you could do a separate video on barre chords and tips on how to transition from open chords to barre chords

OH MY GOD NENA! How do you always know what I need ?!? Lots of Love from ME!!

[@juliana_nicole]

These are such great tips! I’ve only once “performed” I say it in quotes because it was only in front of about 20 people haha! For me the nerves come before I perform but once I’m doing it, and I’m in autopilot like you said, I completely forget people are even looking at me. I recently did karaoke with about 15 people watching and it was so much fun!

[@hortensebaudoin]

Ok what about the brits omg I watched it KZbin live and omg Taylor 😍 don’t you think red era is coming ? Because her hair ! 🥰 it was ICONic ❤️

[@danielle6813]

Your channel is saving me!

[@kenyachaney4556]

yess, thank you, I needed this lol. I used to perform in high school and was thinking of going back to it. Great tips as always :)

[@aslwithglitz]

This video is amazing. I love the tips. It’s cool that you perform. I don't perform or play in front of others. I get nervous and think I'm going to sound bad. I'm not a professional singer. I usually just play guitar for myself in my bedroom. I'd be fine to record myself playing the guitar, but I won't play in front of others.

[@akshayachauhan7568]

You’re the best man, you’re videos are really helpful! 🥺✨👌🏼

[@vickymarquesmolero9666]

Wow!! You're always a great help!! I love your videos Nina!! I can tell I'm a huge fan of yours!!

[@whiterxosegaming909]

Yes! Thanks!

[@donnahildebrand8065]

Awesome video Nena! I totally get what you mean by try to attach the chords to the words - its really helpful. Also, know the song really well beforehand.. gives you less to think about, it'll come much more naturally when you try to play and sing. Like you said.. playing a little bit everyday is key!!

[@emilyjohnson5060]

Thank you so so much Nena singing and songwriting has always been a dream of my and this really helped me out with singing in public!!

[@sandpiper_]

I can only sing and play at the same time if it's a simple srum pattern so far.

[@sandpiper_]

while watching this i was drawing a perspective drawing with "Lovin' him was" in regular text and then "RED" in one-point perspective with cool patterns on it. i started it in the car a few days ago because i was bored and Red was stuck in my head.
