In episode 42 of the guitar music theory podcast, you learn how to put together a live rig for playing gigs. Greetings guitar

guitar engineers. I'm Desi Cerna. Welcome to the guitar music theory podcast. Today I'm going to talk about the

equipment you need to go out and play gigs. You know, I have a lot of experience playing

gigs for many many many years.

That's how I made my living and I've played everything from small coffee

shops to big dance clubs to giant ballrooms.

I played in the back of flatbed trailers. I've done it all. So I want

to share a little bit of my experience and help you learn which pieces of gear you need to be prepared to play gigs.

This will include, you know, how to put a basic pedalboard together, how to use your amp,

whether or not to use an amp. I'm even going to talk about using a PA, you know,

So before we get started though, I want to remind you that you can head over to my website

guitar music theory.com answer the questions I ask you about your playing and I'll give

you free custom video instruction calibrated to your current level.
