Question! I’ve been looking at trying the Bose S1 as a pit “amp” (switching from a more basic combo). 1) the wide spread of the Bose is generally a great feature, but do you think it means other players in the pit hear more of you than they want (vs a more directional amp pointed at yourself)? 2) a decent amount of my pit gigs have no PA reinforcement for the band, do you think the S1 is loud enough for projecting into the house?
Thanks so much for the great video! As someone who plays multiple instruments and has read sheet music before (just not for guitar) and has played in low- level orchestras, I've been wondering how the music difficulty compares to my other instrument. I was wondering if the music you showed in the video on the easier or more difficult side of musical theatre guitar parts? Do you have any good examples of musicals on either side of the spectrum?
Hey Willow! Thanks for reaching out. For guitar this is on the easier side of things in my experience. The harder scores would be In the Heights, Legally Blonde, Addams Family etc. Easier would be Little Shop of Horrors, Rent, Mamma Mia Book 2 etc.
*How Do YOU Prepare For Theater Gigs?*
Great video. I'm about to do a show having only done a few in the past, so this was very helpful and much appreciated.
Glad you found my insight helpful!!
Pretty awesome that you do these type of Gigs too! Seems like a lot of fun!
They are a whole different breed of gig for sure, but very rewarding and fun!
Great video, man! The purple nebula is just perfect. Does your other Majesty have the Dreamcatcher and Rain Maker pups?
Unfortunately no, they have the Illuminators
