My nails are in decent shape for playing. My left-hand calluses are in reasonable shape.
The instrument's got new-ish strings and sort of plays in tune.
All of which is to say that conditions are notionally propitious....
....still, something about being on mic for posterity (as opposed to being on mic in a club playing for drinking people) increases the butterflies-in-the-stomach factor by an unspecified but very large factor....
