First, you need to get lpenty of practice in. You already know that. The rest is psychological. Every time you get a few minutes between now and the audition, close your eyes and picture yourself playing better than you ever have before, getting all your licks right, with exactly the sound you want. Once you've got that image clearly in your head, just keep reminding yourself that you are the only person they could possibly pick for this gig, because no-one's going to play it better. On the day, just go in and make it real. Have fun, good luck, knock 'em dead.
