Nod it up and down in time to the music, making sure that you do it hard enough to be noticeable. Similarly, make sure you're swinging your hips and moving your shoulders. You want to show the audience you're having a good time! Don't always point the end of your guitar off to the left of the stage. Sometimes, you can turn it toward the crowd so that you're sideways to the audience. You can also turn it to the back so you're sideways going the other direction. This just adds visual interest to your performance. You're not just standing there, still as a statue. You could also tip the neck up and play it that way for a while or lean over and play it downward toward the crowd. If you come to an important part of the music, you want to acknowledge it with your movement on stage. An easy way to do that is to just tip the neck of the guitar up into the air for that beat, then bring it back down. Make this movement as you're strumming down on the guitar. You're basically bringing the guitar up to meet your hand. You can also do the opposite movement. If you're strumming upward on the guitar, you can slam the neck downward. This stance is straight out of classic rock. Essentially, you're trying to make yourself bigger. Lift the neck of the guitar up and tilt the head down. Lift your elbows out as you play to make yourself appear bigger and spread your feet out so you have a very wide stance. You can also bend your knees. Don't stand this way too much; instead, use it for emphasis. If you're coming to the end of a mad riff, you want to show how awesome it is. Simply kick one leg out in front of you as you finish the riff, slamming your hand on the last chord. Make sure to get some height with this kick. Don't try a high kick, but the audience should be able to see the sole of your shoe. Practice this without the guitar first! This is a great way to get people's attention. Hold the pick up for a second and look at the audience. Choose your target, and then flip it dramatically outward toward that spot. You can even point before you toss it.

SUMMARY: Bounce your head and move your body to the music. Change your position on stage and point your guitar in different directions to mix it up. Emphasize a cymbal crash or major chord by tipping up your guitar. Use the "power stance" when you're playing a major riff. Try a kick for emphasis. Flip a pick out to the audience.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a craft blade to cut the bottle first, then trim off any jagged edges with scissors. How far down the spray bottle you cut is up to you; it needs to be far enough down so that it is comfortable to hold. About 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) below the cap would be ideal. Discard the bottom part of the spray bottle. If your spray bottle has a molded handle, cut just below the molded handle. If you can't find a spray bottle, use a small air pump instead, like the kind used to fill basketballs. Be sure to take the unscrew the top nozzle. Wrap some colored tape around the bottom, cut edge of the spray bottle. This will add a little design, and hide any jagged edges. After cutting your spray bottle, you will likely have a plastic tube sticking out from under the cut edge. This will only get in the way, so trim the tube with scissors until it is the same length as your cut bottle. You don't want anything sticking out from under the cut edge. You can cut the tube a little bit shorter, if you want to. This will prevent it from getting caught on anything. The hole should be big enough for the nozzle of the spray bottle to fit though. You can drill the hole with an electric drill, a dermal, or even a pair of scissors. Make sure that your bottle has a sports cap. They are the kind that you pull to open, and push to close. Don't use a standard water bottle with a flat, twist-on bottle cap. Twist the nozzle on the spray bottle until it is in the "open" position. Draw a ring of hot glue around the nozzle, then push the nozzle into the hole. Wait for the glue to set, then add more glue around the seam. Adding more glue around the seam is a must. You want it to be airtight. If it is not airtight, there won't be enough pressure, and the air gun won't work. Pull the cap open first, then place a straw right over the opening. Draw a line of hot glue around the seam. Be careful not to get any glue inside the straw, or you may block the hole. You need to be able to push and pull the cap close/open. If you want something sturdier, you can use a short plastic or metal tube instead. You can also take a ballpoint pen apart, then use the body.

SUMMARY: Cut a spray bottle in half to make the handle. Trim the tube inside the spray bottle until it is level with the cut edge. Drill a small hole in the bottom of a plastic water bottle. Open the the spray bottle's nozzle, then glue it into the hole. Glue a straw on top of the sports bottle cap.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This method will work best on shoes that are made completely out of canvas, such as Vans and Toms. If you have a pair of shoes that lace up or have a rubber toe cap, try this method instead. Here's a list of what you'll need: Canvas sneakers Bleach Water Plastic tub Rubber gloves If your sneakers have inserts inside, you can pull those out and set them aside. This way, they will be their original color when you put them back in. This can create a nice contrast. You want to protect your hands from the bleach solution. For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water. The water-bleach solution needs to be deep enough so that you can submerge the shoes completely. The plastic tub needs to be long enough so that you can sit your shoes inside. Try to set them upside down in the tub. This way, more of the fabric gets covered with bleach. This will take one to five hours, depending on how dark the shoes are to begin with, and how light you want them to become. Keep in mind that some of the darker colors will never fully turn white. Some colors, such as black, will turn orange or brown. Be sure to check back on the shoes every 10 to 60 minutes. This will stop the bleach from acting. It will also get rid of the smell. It will take about three hours for them to fully dry.

SUMMARY:
Gather your supplies. Consider removing the inserts. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. Fill a plastic tub with bleach and water. Place your sneakers in the plastic tub. Leave the sneakers in the tub until you get the desired effect. Take the shoes out of the bleach solution and wash them using soap and water. Let the shoes dry before lacing them back up.
