Re: Question for guitar playersI've come to the conclusion that there are a few things that, almost by definition, can't be recreated by a "silent" system. One is the way the guitarist can feel the sound (and for a lot of guitarists that might just be rattling their knee caps). The other is probably the more important one and sometimes it's an ego thing; a lot of guitarists want to feel like they are filling the room with their sound. When they hear their notes bouncing off the room it makes them think that the audience can hear their brilliant playing. You might be able to get close to this with a good in-ear mix and a lot of comments from everyone that you can find to reassure them that they aren't being lost in the mix. This mostly pertains to smallish stages btw. On big stages, the musicians generally do whatever they want anyway.
