@bmacdonald Wow congratulations on making a goal of playing at Open Mic this year!!!
If you are referring to a “real” open mic (in person…. yeah, what is that again?, haha), most open mic setups are equipped to mic your guitar by placing a separate mic on a stand, about 18″ from your 12th fret. This is actually one of the best ways to mic a guitar for a performance. They have a vocal mic separate, for your singing.
If you are referring to a virtual Zoom style open mic, most laptops are equipped with an onboard camera and mic which are more than adequate to perform virtually. There’s tons of gear you can buy to geek out with, but I’d say give simplicity a try first and then see what you end up wishing for from there.
Best wishes at your Open Mic Goals!!!!!!
