MC5’s Guitarist, Wayne Krammers Tips for Electric Guitar Players
1. Plug the thing in. I’m no technical wiz, but I’ve noticed that electric things always work better plugged in.
2. Wash your hands. You play better with clean hands.
3. If you have to sing and play guitar, practice by yourself before you do it at band practice; you don’t want to bring down the rest of the band by making them watch you learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time.
4. Always wear your coolest clothes onstage. It’s better to look good than feel good.
5. Work on developing your own sound.
6. Learn music, not guitar!
7. Write songs (with words!)
8. Watch other guitarists’ hands and feet.
9. Breathe, don’t hold your breath.
10. When smashing the guitar, keep a smile on your lips and a song in your heart.
