It's tough when you work entirely at the whim of musicians. THEY have to decide that they need a tech. Nobody can tell them anything.
..and there's 2 things, I've found, that EVERBODY knows.
One is whatever it is they do for a living..and the other is guitars.EVERYBODY is an expert...no experience required.
I charge an extra $20.00 for people that start a sentence with " I read on the internet that......"

There is also a negative side."
