You can be the best guitarist, but if you don’t know how to present yourself to the audience, you will be the most boring. The most boring thing is to watch the guitarist just stand still, staring at the neck all the time. This WikiHow article will teach you how to move. Enjoy!

Steps

1. 1 Goose step. While holding the guitar to your right, lean forward and kick your right foot forward. Now, tossing yourself up and down with your right foot, put your left foot forward. Do this many (at least 5) times, working your way through the scene, and get the most out of it. BUT ... don't fall or stop moving, or you will look like an idiot. Be careful, this movement is 30 years old and you can still look like an idiot.
2. 2 Lunge and stagger. Step forward one of your legs, then return it back to its original position. Do the same with the other leg. Repeat this as long as you see fit. If everything is correct, then your body should move as if you were working with a pickaxe!
3. 3 Jumping. This is a very primitive movement, but one of the most popular and effective. Just jump, curling your knees in the air and straightening them before landing. An alternative option is to jump with your legs apart as if you made a punch. Make sure your guitar is not positioned so that it hits your knees when it lands.
4. 4 Guitar swing. This is when you drop your guitar (make sure the strap is secured well!) With the neck over your shoulder, so the guitar makes a circle and returns to its place under your arm. For details, see the link below.
5. 5 Dramatic strumming. Make your strumming very dramatic. Hit the strings hard and look evilly at the guitar. Bend your elbow and sort of "throw" your hand onto the strings. Kurt Cobain held his playing hand in place and moved the bar up and down in relation to it. Come up with your own strumming style. This is the best way for a beginner to show their style.
6. 6 Headbanding. While looking at the floor, rotate your head in a circle. It is very good if you have long hair. However, if you do this for too long, you could injure your neck. Also, try rocking your head back and forth. Or side to side, as if you were saying no. The first time it can affect your game, it can be quite difficult to play and headband at the same time.
7. 7 Rack. The stance you play in is very important. For most of the time, your legs should be in a wide stance. In good punk rock, the position of the legs is wide, and the legs themselves are slightly bent at the knees, this is how you should play!
8. 8 Angus Young's "Attack." Also known as the "crazy idiot". Lie sideways on the floor (with a guitar, dude!) And use your legs to push yourself in a circle. Make sure there is enough space for this, and you will not hurt anyone. A cordless guitar works best for this.
9. 9 Guitar Swing or Cinderella Swing. This is one of the most dangerous tricks and is for reference only. Take off the guitar, toss it in the air, do a somersault or two, catch the guitar, then continue your playing.
10. 10 The power of the stars! Point your guitar to the sky with the fretboard and start playing.
11. 11 Mill! Made famous by The Who. Strike a chord, move your hand in a circle and strike again (warning: watch where you need to go with your hand).
12. 12 Make eye contact with your audience. This needs no explanation.
13. 13 Powerful glide. Can be seen at The Who, and Tenacious D. Take a run, then drop to your knees. If everything is done correctly, then you will slide on the floor for at least a meter.
14. 14 Dangerous spinning in a circle. Rotate around your axis, holding the guitar by the strings. Make sure you put on the strap and have enough room.
15. 15 Rotating the guitar is done like this: hang the guitar strap around your neck, grab the lower body of the guitar and throw it in a circle (neck - center). Catch the guitar firmly to stop it and put the strap back.
16. 16 Throwing the Pick. Throw your pick forcefully at the audience or at another player and then pull out your spare. It may take some practice, but it's worth it.
17. 17 Shake the body of the guitar. If your guitar doesn't have a tremolo lever, you can shake it hard and play chords!
18. 18 Krabkor. This is when you sit down like a crab and shake your head to the beat. A lot of metal bands use this in their music videos and live.

Tips

• Try to move more, these steps will not look cool if you are standing, and only do them from time to time. Buy a long wire.
• IMPORTANT: before you do all this, you need to learn the song so that you do not even think about what to play, only then you can start trying all of the above.
• Use what you are confident in. There is nothing worse than provoking the audience with your chips, and then screw up on one of them, poorly rehearsed.
• Watch live shows to see how it's done!
• Practice not only the movements, but also the guitar. If you don't feel 100% comfortable with a song you play and do one of these moves, you might just get lost and fill up all the music, which will make your band unhappy.

Warnings

• Some of the above movements may result in injury. Make sure you know what you are doing before you start. This is done only by experienced guitarists. Don't do what you will regret!
• Watch your guitar cord. Chances are, you can get confused or turn off your guitar while doing all these movements.
