Perhaps they go into the bridge one measure sooner than you thought they would or start the next verse without repeating the transition like you expected. Otherwise, you run the risk of playing something that is not in sync with the rest of the band. When playing in a band, it is important to hear what the other musicians and the vocalist are playing (or singing) - in addition to what you are playing. In other words, to your ears your guitar will overpower everything else in the mix. This is the next simplest approach.īut with simplicity you may be sacrificing utility and practicality! Both of these simpler methods will result in you hearing more of your guitar, but to the exclusion of your ability to hear anything else.
You could also (as you suggested) mic your guitar cabinet and run the signal from the mic directly into the powered monitor wedge (or if your guitar amp has a jack to output the signal - directly from the amp to the monitor without a mic).
Of course Laurence also suggested that the rest of the band and the audience really don't want to hear you as much as you want to hear you.
The simplest approach is as Laurence suggested, re-position your guitar amp so you can hear it. As someone who plays guitar in a band, I can certainly understand how important it is to hear your guitar while you are playing.
