bassist here.i stutter since i was 6. charles van ripers fluency-shaping-aproach and an empathic therapist helped me a lot. never forget: Stuttering isn't your main-attribute.it is just one little piece in a your whole unique set of characteristics. i'm still stuttering in some situations,but since i lost my fear of stuttering,it doesn't really matter to me and my peers. a wonderful side-effect of this is that you focus more on "what" you are saying instead of "how" you are speaking/make fool of yourself/other people think of your stuttering/[insert your personal fear here]/etc. cheers
