I have become pretty comfortable playing in front of strangers for some reason. I have been complemented numerous times. When I travel I take my guitar as either carry-on or gate checked. While waiting to get on I get it out and play it in the lounge. The best times have been when little kids come around and start dancing to what I am doing.

I find playing for friends is pretty easy as well.

The only other place I have 'nerves' is in church playing. I have to remind myself that I am not performing but rather helping lead people in worshiping God. So it is important to be 'adequate' for worship.
