This is a lovely, silky photograph of my favourite instrument. You don't need another comment about the challenge being LIVE music, I guess? Didn't think so. I can't score it as highly as I might in some other challenge, but It's a very beautiful image anyway.
I don't think that the angle/perspective choice is as flattering as it could be. There is not central point of interest for the viewer to see and thus it is a slightly confusing interest. There are good lines however... try experimenting and working with them to get a more dynamic composition
Would have fit the challenge better to have someone in the picture playing, IMO. Nice close-up, but I think I would have liked to see more of the guitar.
I like the shot but beyond it being an instrument I don't really see this as a compelling Live Music entry. Perhaps if the strings were stroked and you captured the vibration or something it would work, IMO.
Mightymite pickups! Doesn't communicate live music all that well to me but I guess not everyone had access to a live concert. This shot is a little bland, for me and quite unbalanced compositionally due to the visible edge in bottom right.
I don't have many ideas on how to improve this shot...perhaps playing with a couple of angles and things, trying to find something dramatic...also, there appears to be a bit of noise which detracts from the image a little.
