If you're going to be playing gigs from now on, you likely will do best if you get your own equipment. All the suggestions in this forum are good ones. Consider what kind of gigs you'll be doing and the size of the venue. And get a good mic. As mentioned above, get equipment that is versatile and gives you some options. If you're comfortable sitting-down, then do it that way. Personally, I don't see it being a big deal. James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, and many others sit-down while performing. James Taylor has done it for most of his career. If you're used to moving-around, then by all means perform standing. If you always play sitting at home, then sitting-down while performing might be the best. Whatever you do, be consistent with it so that your hands are always in the same place and position when you play. If you always play standing, for example, and then switch to sitting-down, your hands are going to be at different angles and things will feel different. Find what works best for you. There's no right or wrong way, only the way that works best for each one of us.
