do you guitarists tend to make contorted facial expressions with the mouth open and drueling when you are playing a complex solo guitar part? I have noticed on film some of the greats doing this, but when I observe classically trained orchestra players I never see them making facial expressions.. is it because a classical trained musician is using another realm of the mind and does not make it obvious they are "gettin' into it", but actually are, we just don't notice? LOL :o :|

My brother always looked ridiculous with his tongue hanging out so we worked on it and fixed it.

I learned a lot playing with an outfit called Forced Entry who had their rehearsal room done in mirrors. That can't be me! Big help on looking like you have a clue I must say.

The last serious jam I was in with a band a couple months ago was rather tepid until I jacked up the bass a bit, then the guitar man started getting into it and pretty soon we were dancing.

The music moves you along when its right.
