Hey doomers, need your help. Played my first show in four years tonight. It went facking great, but I couldn't see shit on stage and fucked up a LOT of riffs tbh. I have a degenerative eye condition that makes it hard to see in low light and I'm kinda a shitty guitar player anyway so I definitely need to look down from time to time to see wtf I'm doing with my fingers. Anyone have any fixes for some kinda unobtrusive light source I could bring on stage to light my neck up?

Get two of these for the stage and aim them at the floor. They also have a handheld flashlight for 5 bucks that works great too. Just tape a piece of transparent colored plastic and you're in business.

EDIT: dunno why the link didn't show up.

Was there meant to be a link?

holy expensive suggestion
save up for an alembic with led fretmarkers and inlays

cheap suggestion
maybe a small xlip on light for your headstock aimed at uour hands?

I would just gaffa tape a small L.E.D torch to my headstock.

set a fire in the middle of the stage and use that to light your riffs

Headlamp

Wear night vision goggles. Looks like they come with a free microphone; you do any vocals?

I like these. Thanks!

Also found these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor ... -led-light

I gots me one of those Fret Lightz things. The blue one. I found that clipping it to your strap (a few inches up from the strap button on the upper bout) versus on your strungs/headstock works best. It's pretty inexpensive, but also it somewhat chintzy. The light part seems to love to fall out of the holder, but nothing done tape can't remedy.

YMMV

mic isn't included. it looks like the mouthpiece for a set of MSA headset. pretty nice closed ear-protection that has an amplifier that automatically flips off when there's a loud and sudden sound (say, a gun or explosion vs a loud truck running or whatnot). they plug directly into a communications device, which pipes the audio into the headset and then you have a push-to-talk to activate the mic.

Yeah, but what happens when the audience busts out the flashbangs?
