Music Gear Needed for Live Solo Acoustic Gigs

If you’ve been thinking about getting out and playing live solo acoustic gigs, this video walks you through the essential gear you actually need to get started, without overthinking it or overspending. This isn’t about beginner guitar lessons. This is for guitarists who already play and are new to playing live, whether you’re into rock, country, or acoustic music, and want a simple, professional setup that works in real-world gigs. I filmed this in a live setting and show you exactly what I use for my solo acoustic shows, what’s essential, and what’s optional. 👉 All gear used in this video (Sweetwater): https://www.jasonstallworth.com/sweet... 🎸 Essential Gear to Get Started (what I use): Electro-Voice Evolve 50M: https://www.jasonstallworth.com/evolv...

At the end of the video, I talk about why this setup makes sense and how playing a couple of gigs a week can realistically pay for your gear — while making you a better guitarist, singer, and performer, and getting paid to do something you love. 🎶 Venue Shoutout This video was filmed during a live solo acoustic gig at Fiorelli Winery in Bradenton, FL. Great place, great people — I'm usually there the first Saturday of each month.
