The Struggle on Stage Is Real

Ever feel like you're always struggling on stage, no matter how much you practice?

You're not alone. Many talented musicians find themselves in the same boat. But here's the secret - the pros don't practice the struggle, they practice "EASY".

The Common Problem

I've seen many students come to me with this problem. They put in the hours, they put in the effort, but when they get on stage, it's like they're always one step behind the music.

 They're stressed, they're beating themselves up, and it's just not fun anymore.

The Case of Paul

But what if I told you there's another way? Let's take my student, Paul, as an example.

After seeing him play for just a few minutes I noticed that he clearly knew a lot about music, but he made things much harder for himself. He was adding struggle where there didn't need to be any.

Paul had made that pressure a part of the way he played. He made such a habit of struggling in practice that it had become a part of his style!

Without knowing it, he actually PRACTICED struggling!

So when he got on stage, where things can be even more intense, playing was even harder!

The Transformation

Once I showed Paul how to practice being alert, fluid, and free from pressure, everything changed.

The first change we noticed was his tone: he was much more in tune and his sound got deep and full. His hand hurt less, and he remembered his songs more easily.

His sound had so much more charisma. That sounds weird but I don't know how else to say it!

The Result

Just one week later, Paul was pumped about his latest gig.

Instead of constantly trying to remember what the next part was, the music came to him like an insight, right when he needed it.

As he played more gigs he found that he could look out at the audience more.

He could really feel the people in the crowd in a personal way, like he was hosting a party!

Your Turn

So, what about you? Are you practicing the struggle, or are you ready to practice "EASY"?
