It’s all about Microphones! Getting your sound of your electric or acoustic int a live mixer or recording device of some sort is not as easy as it seems!

There are a few basic concepts that can really help you sound your best. I’m going to bring them to you with some sound clips to really help you understand how important microphones are to guitar players!
