I played very poorly at the last gig (last week). I was using my preferred guitar of the moment and my old faithful Fender amp, but the sound was all wrong. It may have been because the people were mostly pretty far back from the band. We were on a high-ish stage too. The sound wasn't the usual warm subtle tone I am used to. It was stark & harsh. A poor tone limits what I can play. Some people dont understand that. I dont fully understand it myself but I cant change it. Fortunately everyone else was pretty good and we seemed to go down ok.

Theres another gig next Wednesday. If I take a different guitar its as if I have given up on it. Like I dont trust it. Not sure what to do at the moment. A bit of actual practice might help!
