I had a friend who was an exec producer. She got stiffed on a guest and needed a couple of fill ins, and they had to be brothers...so me and my brother went on the show with a very complicated (albeit elaborated upon) story that was, well....let's just say it profoundly stretched the truth.

But I did get to push Steve out of the way and beat the shit out of my brother on stage. That was pretty cool.

He was living on the west coast at the time so he got a free flight home and great lodging for 3 days. smile

Theres also nashville tuning, where you put all high e or high b strings on your guitar and tune it like normal so all the notes sounds in the same octave...

Roger I frequently get low loads on chordie, as well, and I'm on a very fast internet connection.

That's just an altered chord yeah?

LOL. I'm already chunky.

Also, take chord changes out of the equation........just play the first chord and sing that part over and over until you memorize it, then second chord....I call it "chunkifying."  smile

I used to have HORRIBLE nerves...nausea, vomiting, the whole nine yards. Not so much when I was just playing guitar in jazz band or whatever, more when I was singing lead and playing.

Repetition got me more comfortable with it (as did a pre show shot of Jameson's). I still get nerves but they are good now - excitement rather than anxiety.

The wife and I are big dog rescuers. We have 5 at the moment. Our trainer owns a company in Las Vegas called Sin City K9. In addition to being the best Las Vegas dog trainer, the owner is in to Mondio, a protection sport.

I volunteered to be a decoy - the guy that gets bit. Man is it FUN, and what an adrenaline rush. Just have to remember to keep my hands out of the way!

Here's a video....doesn't look that intense, but knowing you're about to be bit by a 60 pound malinois is a pretty intimidating experience:
