How exactly to set up for a live, solo, acoustic guitar performance?
I need to know how to set up for a live opening of a piece for one person accoustic guitar gig, though i cant find out how anywhere upon a net.
I need things similar to just what apparatus i need, how to on all sides it all ect
Can anybody help?, i need to find this things out as shortly as possible
Thanks
Its kind of urgent
The only items I could add to Lester G's list is a guitar stand and my recommendation to use a Fender Acoustisonic acoustic amplifier for the gig. The amplifier has a main 12" speaker at the front and a 6" speaker at each side, which projects the sound in three directions.
With the amplifier, you can opt for reverb, chorus, flange, echo, and other additivies or push a foot button for plain acoustic projection. Positioning the amplifier in front of, or behind you, is a judgment call for you. Have sufficient lengths of patch cords to accommodate your movements if standing.
If your acoustic does not come with the installed amplification device, I believe an under-the-saddle filament is best. Next would be a sound-hole device that can quickly be installed or removed. It's been my experience that a microphone near the fretboard or box isn't always reliable.
I wish you success and much fun with this gig. Above all, enjoy working for the audience and give them your best performance, using fresh strings and appropriate material.
