Folks, the possibilities in our world run
from purely acoustic instruments with no amplification to amplified instruments, to complicated effects, to arrangers, to complete sequences, harmonizers and other enhancements.

Each of us has to find a place where we're comfortable and make it work, both in terms of taking care of the business thing (getting paid, if that's the objective) and
satisfy ourselves at the same time.

I suspect that musicians and entertainers differ in their choices and outcomes.

I do everything from all instrumentals on a piano or classical guitar to a B-3 and a drummer to a traditional piano upright and drums trio...an arranger...no sequences, but that's my choice and I'm not in a position to tell anyone else what to do.

The point is, DO IT the best you can, and continue to learn, entertain and enjoy the process.

After all, that's what it's all about.

Keep on "pickin and grinnin".
