I played outside! In the sun! At the plaza downtown, for the National Day of Prayer. That's me growing out of the acoustic guitar player's head.

I played guitar -> Boss compressor -> Dunlop Wah (had that on for only a bit) -> AX1500G multieffect -> DI box to PA -> Frontman 25R, which I meant only as a personal monitor. I was going to be right next to the drummer, right?

Lessons Learned:

* Sunblock or hat if you're bald

* Not many indicator LEDs can be seen in daylight at noon, huh?

* I usually have the volume on the AX dimed so I can hear myself playing Wednesday. When I set it up at home, I drop the volume down to 30 or so. My DI has pass-thru, so I didn't want to give the soundman less, or really didn't think about it, but it did mean my amp could get a bit squeally in the bad, uncontrollable way.

But I enjoyed the playing, I helped my worship leader and we praised God. I even got some color!
