Hot To Play Air Guitar

Step 1 – ASSEMBLE

Gather the following list of items you’ll need for your performance:
a. Music (can be Hard Rock OR Heavy Metal)
b. Secure stage perimeter (near stereo, preferably at least 8’ x 8’)
c. Wig (optional)
d. Alcholic beverages (optional, but preferable)

Step 2 – WARM-UP

Drink aggressively and put on wig (optional). Start music and crank it up. Loudly. Bob head to rhythm of music.

Step 3 – POSE

Disfigure face with aggressive/angry pose, mouth open as if engaged in a silent scream (alternatively, a scary/distant pose can be substituted), and thrust left leg forward.

Step 4 – CRADLE

Extend left arm up sideways (shoulder-level), with thumb extended and fingers curled back facing body. Stare at fingers (using facial expression from step 3).

Step 5 – GRIP IT

On your right hand, pinch thumb to index finger (holding imaginary pick), and bring right hand up to right shoulder area.

Step 6 – JAM OUT

Thrust right hand downward violently to rhythm of music, then back up to shoulder position. Repeat until music stops, adding additional facial expressions and body movement.

Step 7 – EXTREME IT

Raise level of difficulty by adding additional moves, such as the jump/kick combo, or kneeling/leaning back while playing.
*** Only advanced players should attempt the “Hendrix” (playing behind your head).
