Off Topic Need suggestions from my gigging Knuckleheads..

I store all my chord charts and lyrics in my brain, it's been working for years bult I suppose not everyone likes music so it might not suit you. Learn the songs man, it's the only way you'll be able to play them, you're not a robot.

That's not the issue. I only use the stand for a few songs a gig when doing fill in work. When I am in a steady full time band, I don't need any sheets.

Is the stand for lyrics, chord charts, or sheet music? Unless your eyesight is really bad, I find that lyrics/chord charts go really well on the floor on on your monitor wedge. Nothing worse than a rock band with music stands on stage, IMHO.

Understandable for fill-in spots.

I've been using my iPad for charts as well. I haven't used it on a gig (by that time, I've memorized the material), but at rehearsals it's good. I bought a Bluetooth pedal that will flip the pages. I'm still not that good a flipping the page far enough in advance to not stumble in my playing, but I'm getting there!

My guy uses an iPad occasionally. Sets-up the display to inverse color (white on black) to minimize the light. Clip on stand/holder works real well.

But - foot pedal to flip pages??? That's great - did not know about that nifty tool and will have to share. Thanks.

I like the black on white idea.

I use this one: AirTurn BT-105
There's no mechanical parts, so it doesn't squeak or click when you press it.

Well the clip on worked pretty good. Served it's purpose well. Not the best performace as I just joined this band, but things will come together I hope.

The only issue I would have with that is that it's only 5" high. Thanks for the information.
