I'm so stoked! My worship band leader was going to get me up front to play a song with him, maybe after the new year. I said maybe this Christmas Eve candlelight service we play Silent Night as the last song? Yeah! In A, my chords are A, E and D, pretty slow tempo and a down down up down pattern with time for chord change. Gotta be the best song to start out with, huh.

Merry Christmas guitar friends! Hope Santa was good to you all.  I worked on Silent Night for a good amount of time and the 24th has come and went. I had to sit to play because the fret board disappeared  on me when I stood. The sound guy gave me this wireless hookup and said it had a fresh battery and sounded good during sound check. Toward the end, we got up on stage and I noticed my red light on the wireless wasn't on, too late, lights went out and away we go with the song.  That's right, battery was dead and so was I. Everybody said I did well my first time playing in front of people so doe s this count, do I get credit for this time?  I should have insisted on using my cord and a DI box.  Oh well

Poof and so it was, what could go wrong did, but you played live in front of people. 

It counts.

Absolutely it counts.  You had the nerve to get up in front of people to perform.  There is no argument here.  It counts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Congratulations on your first gig.
