Location: Michigan | Is it a form of expression that you are feeling at this time or are you trying to look cool when people make these VERY STRANGE FACIAL looks when playing.
I look at Hendrix and I see that he is so high that he is actually feeling those expressions that he makes with his face while playing but some of the artists I see seem to just make those faces to think that they look cool.I know when I have to much of the sauce and play air guitar to certain songs that I make those kind of faces but are the they for real?
Do you make faces when playing certain songs? :eek: :mad: :rolleyes: :cool: :) :p :confused: GWB |

Honestly, I have no control over my facial expressions when playing. I have no doubt I look like a dork. |

The reverse happens to me, sometimes, I can only play a song if I sing.
Science explains everything. |

Anyone else have enough brain matter left to remember those days? :confused: GWB

Are they trying to keep-up with the left hand? |
