I don't hate this guitar because I find a traditional guitar romantic. I hate it because it sounds terrible and the quality and build are terrible. And they had the nerve to try and sell this thing for a LOT of money to beginners who didn't know any better. They were promised an easy way to learn on a quality device. What they wound up buying for themselves and/or their children was a crappy quality midi guitar. They took advantage and exploited the beginner's market. THAT is why I hate this product and the fly by night company who robbed people.

@@CrookedEyeSniper Well that's fair, but I didn't necessarily mean playing a guitar is "romantic" when I said "romanticize"; I guess what I was getting at is that people often seem to act like doing things the 'traditional' way is soooooooooo amazing and the very very very very best way to do it, for everyone else, and this is how it must be done, because if you do it differently then you're "fake" or whatever. The fact of the matter is, traditional guitars are pretty hard on the fingers; pushing those metal strings against those frets gets painful. It's not hard to imagine an electronic guitar for learning purposes that's much easier on the fingers, while still having some degree of realism: The frets could instead be pressure sensors (and you could control how much pressure you need to apply in order to activate them, for comfort), and there might be, for example, rubber strings stretched over the neck; when you press down on the strings, that pressure is therefore transmitted to the pressure sensors. This would give a feeling of pressing strings against frets, while feeling much easier on the fingers. Alternatively the strings could just be normal metal strings (which would obviously give more realism), but with the added benefit of choosing how much pressure you need to apply to the sensors you can make it feel less painful. These strings could either stretch all the way down the neck and across the body of the guitar (like a normal guitar), or alternatively there might be a second set of short strings on the body for the strumming portion. Pressing the strings against the pressure-sensor frets would tell the device which notes should be transmitted (just like the frets do on a normal guitar), and the strumming portion would indicate that it's now time for those notes to be transmitted (like the function of strumming a normal guitar). The strumming could be detected using either normal pickups (magnetic pickups or piezoelectric pickups for instance) or it could be detected by some other more unusual method; the "Synth Axe" from the 1980s, for example, used Hall Effect sensors to detect strumming, no pickups at all. String bending could be detected by some kind of "strain gage" or some other kind of sensor, say an optical sensor or something; there could be one of these bending sensors for each string. The device would send pitch bend MIDI messages when the sensors detect this bending. To me, a MIDI guitar like this, where the functions of pitch determination and pitch initiation are handled by entirely separate sets of sensors, much more accurately simulates how guitars actually work (using MIDI data) than those "pitch-to-MIDI conversion" systems which are seemingly very overhyped/overrated. PTMC has definitely gotten better than what it used to be, but I feel it's still inferior to having separate sensors like what I mentioned.

didja enjoy yourself?

and still my heart keeps beating....

I like that line...

You've just put a smile on my coupon for the next few days.... So, thanks for that. MES is the best.

I remember hearing this for the first time... And i am still astounded that this track continues to rock n roll my head, body, and what's left of my soul. A song in a different class, miles ahead of all else. A chunk of gold just laying there. MES is the best.

The Fall - Life Just Bounces (In The City) 0850am 22.10.24 i like the 12inch it came from. the bouncing ball first seen on dragnet... follow the bouncing ball. which i always thought must be fun. it never was... followed but never following is how it ends up if you are of such a young age to dream of following the bouncing ball.

A one Plus.

...It's just never enough for some peoples.... lol

Try some cats piss, that should give the desired result. Headphones or speakers. All the best.
