When we play outside in daylight, or under bright stage lights the view screen gets very hard to see. I rely on the set list heavily. any suggestions?

I made a little card board cover that I tape down over my screen. It;s not perfect but it works somewhat. I have to fiddle with it to get the right angle.

I did something very similar - I wasn't prepared, so I had to craft something on the fly out of black Gaffe tape and a battery package....did the trick, though.

Make sure whatever you craft is black- preferably flat black. If you make it out of white cardboard it will reflect the light back at the screen and not achieve the desired effect.

when playing outside, also make sure you play in the shadow... to much direct sun is not good for your electronics, espescially on a steaming hot bright summer day
