Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this! It's my goal to play live sometime in the next 5 years. I will make it happen, no doubt, inspired by people like you brother. I am local to you, and wanted to be there Oct 1 but my wife worked and our babysitter was at a music festival that weekend in Tampa. I'm gonna make it to a show ASAP. I like the tip jar, very important. When I make it to a show, I can't wait to throw something in there. Honestly after watching and being a fan for a while I have to say it all love in this metal/guitar community/family. Thanks bro, and I can't wait to come to a show. Kindly remind me when I can see you locally, I don't have Facebook. Take care, all the best!

Awesome to hear this and thank you for being a part of my channel! Yes, we have a great community here! My next scheduled gig is at The Forge Irish Pub in Brandon, FL, Friday Nov 5th, 7-10. That's a really cool place. I also post y gigs on Instagram but if you don't have that, you can always go to my website at jasonstallworth.com. I'm going to start keeping my schedule on the home page there (will be updating that later this week). Thank you again!

Good video!! And nice chops!! I have a few things to add, I wish I had something like this to see way back when I started hauling my own equipment. This is how I load/handle/set-up my equipment, which support anything from a trio to a 5 pc, depending on venue budget. If you do this regularly, and by the I mean 6 to 10 time s a month, you'll want to streamline your install. 1. SUV in reverse to shortened my travel, specially with heavy equipment. At 56 y/o, my back thanks me every time!! B-) 2. Like you, I use to pack everything on a suitcase, but the OCD in me found it too messy. I got me the Rigid PRO Tool Storage System which is three rolling tool boxes in one. 3. Get yourself a hand truck. It will save a few trips and at least 15 minutes out of load-in and load-out. I use the Cosco 3-In-1 Convertible Hand Truck sold at Costco. 4. Speakers stand height is a very typical issue. I put a few turns of electrical tape at the height where I want the leg's slide to stop. 5. Wireless mics will save you at least 15 mins set-up time, and will clean up the stage nicely. I use the Phenyx Pro PTU-7000A. 6. For monitoring, get in-ears. Also much less to set-up. I use the Takstar WPM-200. It's low budget and sounds good enough to run through a gig. 7. For backing tracks I use the "Avantree Lock aptX Low Latency Wireless Transmitter and Receiver Set" to transmit via Bluetooth from an old phone I use to run Set-list Helper Android app and the tracks from within the app. I hope this helps... sorry but my OCD drives me to contribute!! Rock On!!

Thanks again for this solo-guitar gig content. I just started doing gigs, so much is helpful! I got a pair of nice QSC-10 powered speakers, and those expensive hydraulic air-lift stands (because I haven't the strength to raise the speakers), and went to my gig all happy with a real PA...and I actually couldn't even lift the speakers high enough to get them onto the stands at the lowest level! I think I'm going to look into one of those Bose-type array-tower PAs, because I don't have anyone to help me with gigs. I watched with amazement as you not only raised your stand, but lifted the speakers above your head and placed them. Sometimes sucks being a 5'2" woman with no upper body strength. I'm enjoying your videos, thanks!

My main mic is an EV, and depending on the gig I might bring an acoustic and an electric. I play keyboards too, and use a laptop for backing tracks and to control some DMX lights. I live in New Port Richey, which is near Tampa. I'm really enjoying your channel! Lots of great content.

This is super helpful, thank you. I just started using one speaker, the same sound board you have, and the RC Boss 300. I'm curious - do you have any tips on why, after setting up a loop, its hard to hear my lead lines? This usually happens mostly when I have a lot going on in my loop - using all 3 tracks on the RC Boss 300 with rhythm, percussion, bass, and backup vocals. I'll let all that stuff loop and play out but when I play a guitar lick over them, it's really hard to hear what I'm playing.

My personal preference is to keep everything as simple as possible. The more you have going on, things will get buried.

Hey Jason, Just found your channel! Good stuff (Maynard)! I do solo gigs in Bradenton, FL (just south of you). I haven’t used a DI box. I do use a TC Helicon Harmony G vocal harmonizer which also has some EQ and FX functions. So I input my mic and guitar into it, then to my Fishman Solo PA. It seems to work out fine. Would a DI box add any value to my current setup? I also have a Digi-Tech Trio+ looper/band-in-a-box. (Need to learn how to use it!) I also have an Alto Bluetooth audio adapter that I plug into the aux input on the PA allowing me to pair my iPhone during breaks to play playlists. Also, playing here in FL, I always have a travel-sized baby powder bottle for my hands on those humid days! Nothing worse than trying to navigate your fretboard with sweaty hands!

In your case, I don't think a DI is necessary as you're probably getting great sounds. But if you're planning to use a looper, you may want to separate your guitar and vocals. Never thought of using baby powder but that's a great idea. I do wear a wristband on my strumming wrist and that helps a lot. Yeah, our Florida summers are brutal!

Are you using the ditto in the effects loop on the pod go and running out from the pod go mono to your board.
@jasonstallworth
2 жыл бұрын
My signal chain looks like this: Guitar to POD Go (wireless), POD Go to Ditto, Ditto to soundboard. This allows you to change patches on the POD Go without impacting the loop you recorded (perfect to playing a solo tone over a rhythm)

Mics into DI or Hi-Z? What's the advantage?
@jasonstallworth
6 ай бұрын
With dynamic mics, you don't need Hi-Z. These days I run my mics direct thought he board with no DI (I used to use the Mic Mechanic pedal by TC Electronics for effects, but a good board will usually have a solid compressor and reverb, and that's all I need). Part of live gigs is simplification, especially when you're playing out several times a week. This is a more recent setup here: metalmastermind.com/

Well it's about time I see a solo pro setup without Bose. We are very similar with the exception of a few brands. I've done primarily solo gigs on the road for 30+ years, 20 full time, much of it Apres Ski. My board is Allen & Heath and speakers are JBL SRX 15". Monitor is a very old JBL EON. Two six string acoustics are Martin D-16 and 000-28 and 12 string is Alverez. Line 6 G90 for wireless on guitars. Mic is Sure Beta 58. I've got nothing against Bose systems for enclosed smaller quiet rooms with a smaller audience, but as you get bigger and/or outdoors, the Bose falls short. Put a couple of Margarita blenders in there and a party crowd and you need to push some air. For y'all new folks out there just beginning your solo career, Jason is the real deal. Great info, thanks for the video! See ya down the road brother...

I’m not opposed to the Bose systems. I’m actually playing through the Electro-Voice Evolve 50M these days. It just didn’t make sense to set up all of this gear for a solo act, and I’m playing 2-3 shows a week. I’ve got a recent video on that here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/maKgrGmsboKUo20si=Ii0gl9Zk4E3Znclj Of course if I had a band, I’d be setting up what you see in this video…I held onto all this gear

As I was watching this video, which is the very first I've seen of yours, I had this weird deja vu kind of thingy going on. As it turns out, we may be kindred spirits. LOL! We use almost the same speakers and almost the same board. But great video! I do have a few comments. (If this is covered in a later video, I apologize.) On the speaker stands, if they are similar models of stands, I put 2 legs of 1 stand up against the other stand, and when they're the same distance apart, the height is the same. Next, have you ever considered using in-ears to monitor your sound? Have you ever had to employ any type of lighting at a venue to either add to the performance or the overall visibility? Lastly, do you use any specific software on your iPad to manage your lyrics? New follower here.

Is there any tips you can give me to help us out?
