Stage Monitoring, In-Ears, and Hearing Yourself

by Joe Beier | Apr 29, 2020 | Guitar, Guitar Equipment, Knowledge, Mixing, Monitoring, Performance, Tools

Great monitor mixes are critical for a live performer in order to play and deliver his or her best performance. Having performed thousands of different gigs, I can say that when the monitoring situation is less than ideal, it has been very hard to deliver my best...

For the past 10 days, I had the absolute pleasure For the past 10 days, I had the absolute pleasure working again with The Revolution as their guitar and bass tech. My goal for each show is to get the guitars as stable as possible before the show so the artists do not have to put energy into keeping their guitars in tune. I stretch the crap out of the strings until they don’t drift in pitch when I yank on them. I lube the saddles and nut sometimes as well. I love listening intently to the guitars through the show to see if they are holding their tuning. I LOVE so much when they don’t need to be tuned in a set, or at least barely. An in tune guitar and no broken strings after a show make me feel like I did a good job. Hope to do more of these again soon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #guitartech #guitars #prince #therevolution #guitartips

Time for a new 5-way switch on this EJ Stratocaste Time for a new 5-way switch on this EJ Stratocaster. I encourage all to learn skills that can help you save time and money while dealing with equipment. Soldering is not super difficult and it is so helpful to know how to do. #fixingthings #guitartech #soldering

It’s so fun for guitarists to try to create those kinds of textures on guitar. Auto filter, pick attack, delay and reverb can do a lot and it feels meditative. . . . . . . . . . . . #guitars #guitar #guitarist #music #guitarplayer #guitarplayers #musician #pulse #delay #reverb #pickattack

Six years ago to the hour I landed in Denmark to m Six years ago to the hour I landed in Denmark to meet the lovely woman who became my wife ❤️. This is our first picture together on May 1, 2017. We left the airport and she showed me around her city (jumping with joy). Then two years after that, she arrived to the US on May 1. Here is her arrival. Today’s date marks one of our special days. #specialdays #love
Revisiting a song I released a long time ago in ho Revisiting a song I released a long time ago in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I love Irish music and I envisioned my guitar layers on the main theme in this like a band of pipers. I’m trying to push my pick and right hand in ways that get a more midrangey tone for that part, and in the B section by moving the pick attacks towards the neck, the tone smooths out. Don’t forget to try stuff like this when you play for tone shaping!
