Re: Difficulty with stage monitoringPics can be deceiving, but to me, it appears the electric guitar player's amp is not aimed at his head, where it should be. It looks like it is shooting over his head and away at an angle. I would start by making sure his amp is pointing at his head (ears) and use that as his primary guitar 'monitor'. You can then have less guitar in his wedge or maybe none at all. If the idea was to have the amp pointing away from the mic to avoid guitar bleed into his vocal mic, I would say unless he is a lead singer, keep his fader down inbetween his vocal parts. You're always going to have some bleed, but it is probably better if the guitar player can hear his guitar tone from his amp, rather than from his wedge, and thus keep overall levels lower on stage. With less (or no) guitar in his wedge, he can better hear the vocal mix or other stuff he wants in his monitor.
