i cant help but think - yeah thats really cool, you can make loads of cool sounds with your guitar BUT if all the sounds are processed through a the laptop doesnt the input signal become a bit irrelevant? you could just sit down and write songs straight out on the computer and never touch an instrument and the final product could be exactly the same. the only real reason i can see for using a guitar as midi input is for the visual spectacle when performing live

[rabokel]

there is some truth in what you say, but as a guitarist who is bad in playing keyboards, why not using a guitar as a input device?

[schifferbrainz]

He's playing the instrument he knows.

The fact that guitarists can do this now is cool for us.

Usually you ARE watching some guy sitting on his ass making these sounds. Peace

What about having a power chord for each note?

[boxofrabbits]

Why?

[schifferbrainz]

Why not? YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!
