Interesting point about not being able to hear what your guitar sounds like if you were in front of it. We all spend our lives singing and playing music that is flying away from us at the speed of sound. Monitors help, but you're only hearing an electronic approximation of what you would hear if the instrument was acoustic and you were standing in front of it. That's why I enjoy listening to someone else play my instruments.

It's the only time I really get to hear them.
