    I have essential tremor. When I play guitar in front of people my hands shake uncontrollably. It’s uncomfortable.

      Tell the audience you’re just really serious about tremolo.

        Might, yeah. I don’t wanna take unnecessary drugs just because I’m a bit embarrassed. I can play pretty well in a comfortable environment. Live gigs will never happen though.

          Beta blockers are pretty mild as far as prescription drugs go. They entirely knock out my wife’s tremor and the only side effect she feels is being a little more chill.
