I play rhythm guitar in a church band. I'm on an acoustic electric, and there is an electric guitar, electric bass, drummer, and three vocals in the band. My guitar is run through the PA, and I have a floor speaker for a monitor. With all those other band members, I always have trouble hearing my guitar in the monitor.

I am wondering if there is some type of gizmo, like a small earphone type of monitor I can use, which will allow me hear myself better, and still stay plugged into the PA.

If there is something like that out there, I would greatly appreciate any buying advice, experiences, and recommendations before I throw myself at the mercy of some slick salesman at the local large chain guitar retail establishment.

Sorry the technical description of what I am looking for is rudimetary. Although I have played 30+ years, I have only in the last few months had anything at all to do with electronics and sound systems. But it was fun to go and buy a new Tak...
