Classical guitars, as the name suggests, are well-suited to classical music; they have nylon strings and create a more mellow sound than their steel stringed counterpart, the acoustic guitar.&nbsp; However, classical guitars also lend themselves well to other musical styles such as folk and flamenco.&nbsp; Electric guitars, on the other hand, are much louder sounding and are commonly used to play jazz, heavy metal, or rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, there are two things that should guide your choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Which sound do you find most appealing?<\/li><li>What size is your venue?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While sound is purely down to personal preference, the size of your venue will affect your choice; unless the venue is very small, hiring a classical or acoustic guitarist could be a problem as the sound may not carry sufficiently.&nbsp; If, however, you\u2019ve set your heart on one of these options, you could always get your guitarist to use an amplifier.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Requests&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a special song in mind for your first dance?&nbsp; If so, you\u2019ll want to check that any guitarists you\u2019re considering are willing to accommodate special requests.&nbsp; Some guitarists charge extra for this service, while others are happy to learn your song free of charge.&nbsp; If you want to avoid expensive surprises further down the line, find out which category yours falls into before you book them!&nbsp; One more thing: let them know well in advance if you need them to learn a song that\u2019s not in their repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A classical guitarist should only need about 2 x 2 metres of space in which to perform.&nbsp; This should be sufficient to accommodate your guitarist, a music stand, microphone and amplifier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Listen to demos&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to get a feel for the style and ability of a particular player is to listen to their demos.&nbsp; This will give you a good idea of their capabilities and whether they\u2019re likely to be a good fit for your event.&nbsp; Make the most of demo tapes by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Taking your time \u2013 listen to the entire track to determine whether you like it or not.<\/li><li>Paying attention to detail \u2013 how does the artist play the intro and the outro, and do they add anything special or different?<\/li><li>Taking note of the overall tone and how it makes you feel \u2013 this will give you a good idea of the guitarist\u2019s general style.<\/li><li>Ensuring you\u2019re listening to a good quality recording \u2013 the most accomplished guitarist can sound terrible on a poor-quality recording!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attend a live performance.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to a guitarist live on stage is an excellent way to get a good sense of their playing style and to discover how well they engage with an audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20-1024x679.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4345\" width=\"838\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20-1536x1019.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120603\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.20.png 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check their credentials.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to ensure you are hiring a quality guitarist is to check their credentials.&nbsp; It\u2019s a good idea to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ask for references; a quality musician should be able to provide you with a list of satisfied customers who can vouch for his or her skills.<\/li><li>Read online reviews of the guitarist.<\/li><li>Ask to see \/ hear audio and video recordings of them playing.<\/li><li>Ask how long they\u2019ve been performing.<\/li><li>Ask if they\u2019ve played at this type of event previously.<\/li><li>Meet them in person to discuss your requirements.&nbsp; This will give you an opportunity to get a feel for their personality as well as their musical prowess.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a little time to check a guitarist\u2019s credentials before booking means you can be confident you\u2019ve hired a quality musician who will live up to your expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dress code<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guitarists are usually happy to abide by the dress code for your event.&nbsp; However, don\u2019t forget to tell them what it is \u2013 they are musicians, not mind readers!&nbsp; That said, any professional worth their salt should be asking what you expect them to wear.&nbsp; If you have any very specific, or out of the ordinary, dress code requests, you may need to pay extra or be prepared to provide your guitarist with the appropriate attire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you\u2019ll need to provide for your guitarist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your guitarist will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An armless chair<\/li><li>Access to a changing room<\/li><li>1-2 power sockets close to the performance area.<\/li><li>Soft drinks and possibly food (dependent on how long your guitarist attends your event).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Booking your Guitarist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re sure you\u2019ve found a guitarist who will be a perfect fit for your event, book them! It\u2019s advisable to book up to a year in advance of your event.&nbsp; This is especially true during the summer months, and over the festive period, when guitarists\u2019 diaries can fill up very quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a written contract.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a contract in place will help to protect both you and the guitarist by setting out terms and conditions that both parties agree to.&nbsp; The contract should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The name of the guitarist and the person hiring them.<\/li><li>The date, time and location of the event.<\/li><li>A detailed description of services to be provided.<\/li><li>The length of time the guitarist will play for.<\/li><li>Any sound or amplification requirements.<\/li><li>A note of special requests.<\/li><li>The cancellation policy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30-1024x683.png\" alt=\"guitar with music sheet\" class=\"wp-image-4346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30-1536x1025.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20231026120703\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-14.00.30.png 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s a wrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring a guitarist for your event is not an easy task!\u00a0 However, if you follow these tips, you should be able to find a guitarist who\u2019s a perfect fit for your event.\u00a0 We hope you\u2019ve found this blog post useful, and that it\u2019s saved you some time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At PartyWizz, we specialise in providing entertainers and party suppliers such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/magicians-for-hire\">magicians<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/photographers-for-hire\">photographers<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/singers-for-hire\">singers<\/a>, and of course\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/bands-for-hire\">bands<\/a>.
