I heard that people who buy these instruments after enough practice eventually lock themselves inside the house and go clinically insane. Does everything feel feel the the the the same same same same same same............

That was supposed to be life fractaclizing away from you  XD

In all seriousness how do the tips of your fingers hold up on this? Do you have to press hard like a guitar or is it more of a light touch like pressing keyboard keys? Thanks.

@dougefresh85 The first few days of playing were pretty bad on my fingers. There was some soreness and also what felt like tiny paper-cuts from doing a lot of slides. A week later all that's gone away and now I can play without any ill effects.

Compared to a guitar, I'd say the Harpejji is easier on the fingers and hands. You can play it by pressing lightly; very lightly in fact.

This looks and sounds awesome! How much did it cost you? I'm looking at their website right now and it looks to be about $2,000-ish. :@

[hamsteralliance]

@deadra13 It was a few thousand, yeah. I'd tell you to check the site for the current price but you already have. ;)

[Darrin1997]

wait a second does you haveing this instrument mean your gunna be to busy makin music you wont have time to make any more game vids ?

[hamsteralliance]

@Darrin1997 I'll be making game vids. Right now though the main thing taking up my time is the music for the upcoming Biplanes HD game. Once I'm done with that stuff I'll be recording more vids.

@dougefresh85 I'm already clinically insane, I'll be using mine (once I get it) to self medicate. :D
