How can people on stage at concerts move around so much and they dont trip on the guitar cords?

Question

i was wondering are thier guitars cordless

Answer 1

Most pro bands do use wireless setups nowadays.

Back in the old days when I was a performing guitar player, There were no such things. And you kinda get a feel as to where your cord is. And I used to bounce around and do all that Hendrix type stuff. But, yeah, every once in a while, you could get get a bit tangled.

I don't worry so much about the guitarists and their cords....I'm more afraid for the singer or other players not paying attention and tripping over someone else's cord :-)

Answer 2

Most bigger bands now a days use a wireless setup for their guitars. It's much like a wireless microphone setup. "The Bug" is one brand that is a simple 1/4 inch jack with an antenna that transmits to a pack you wear on your belt, it transfers to the other "Bug" plugged into either the pedals on the floor or directly into the amplifier.
