discreet Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I sympathise with you, yet I'm going to annoy you with this little homily: 'Amateurs practise until they get it right - but professionals practise until they can't get it wrong...'

SteveK Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 "Red light syndrome" basically, the pressure gets to you! What may be as simple as p*** to play at home becomes the hardest thing to get right when you feel you're under such intense scrutiny. It's not uncommon and [i]should[/i] ease with experience.

discreet Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1414931562' post='2594745'] Redlightitis. Overcoming it is a skill in itself! [/quote] It sure is. We always record our rehearsals so the band is very used to being recorded. So when we go into a studio it's much less of a big deal.

kevvo66 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Cheers guys ,I was very tired to ,moving house and then hitting the studio perhaps was not a good idea really!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Happens to us all mate. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on worrying and just keep on rehearsing. I've seen me forget simple songs that we have been playing for years, then worry about it so much next time that I cock up again. Sometimes you just have to relax and let it flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebass84 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Good old Red light syndrome. Last time I was in the studio recoding my latest EP I nailed the two hard tracks and then RLS kicks in on a track I could play in my sleep using my feet.

JapanAxe Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Red light fever. I have experienced this even when recording stuff on my own, with no one else even in the house, let alone the room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
