Acoustic Guitar Pickups
Accessories…
Fingerpicking is mostly played on acoustic guitars. If you are playing in public, at some point you will need to amplify your guitar.
The most common way of doing this is to get a pickup fitted to your guitar and plug it into either an acoustic guitar amp, or the PA system used by the singer. There are many pickups available for acoustic guitars and most can be attached for a performance and then removed until required again.
