I'm not sure why this jumped out today. I've been playing acoustic guitar and singing at church every month or two for about two years. The sound guy is ... Not a lot of help. Tiny country church. More than a few times me and big Al (baritone jumbo) carry the room unamped and the vocal mic is usually a condensor. Sound guy usually shows up last minute and we just roll with minimal reinforcement. Actually keeping the guitar out of the PA makes his job simpler and allows me to push the guitar harder.
I decided to try singing with electric guitar this time for a song I wanted to do. And wow. I switched to a dynamic because I was curious and wanted to get a bit closer on the mic.
It was at this point I learned that eating a stand mounted dynamic while playing guitar is a whole new skill that has nothing in common with "stick a wide pattern condensor sort of near some guy singing and playing acoustic guitar while only being semiconcious of the mic."
I see this is going to need some work.
