Creator's Key Takeaways

I got to perform solo on stage by myself shredding guitar for 15 minutes and it was awesome

this was a great growth opportunity for me and an opportunity for me to try something totally different

I loved the hustle of epic rock night and I also loved getting to perform on the main stage in the theater

being a musician on the ship was exciting and it was fun and it was stressful all at the same time

Map out different riffs and moves for different stage positions
