I remember times when I was at shows and the person onstage locked eyes with me. And in that moment, everything was right with the world.

I think the one-on-one gigs connecting with the fans - is the most important thing. That will help build your fan base. They'll talk about you, and word spreads. Those things are just as important as knowing how to play an E chord.
