Thanks so much for your advice and feedback..it made a great impact on me and lots of lightbulbs went off for me this week. Before this week, my soloing has consisted of a combination of simple Newman fills, and some simple arpeggios which mirror what the band is doing. Sort of boring at times. Subs...

I recently performed with a local country band which asked me to sit in on steel and it was a blast. The only problem was that several of the other musicians' amps were located right behind me on the small stage, and therefore, I could not monitor my own playing. I had to plug my ears several times ...

I have been playing PSG for a year and a half and to date have been playing over a generic Peavey Amp; I have been asked to join an alt. country garage band and am wondering whether it is worth my money at this point to invest money in a pro quality amp such as a Nashville 112.
