It's nerves and the fear of others judging you!. I'm the same way !. I can play like crazy when I'm alone, but when I play in front of people I start hitting dead notes!. you just need to find a way to relax!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's obviously mental - you have to train your mind to get into the music and ignore everything else!. Try to focus on what the music means to you and focus on its perfection - pretending you are alone might be helpful

Practicing in front of others and while recording will help!.

Just like practicing the guitar, now you have to practice being listened too!. Takes time, but you'll get it with enough practice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just think if i do this ots gonna sound great and ignore everything else around you put all your consentration on the guitar and just let the music flow!.
