Not quite thinking the same thing. Less like a synth... ...more like a sample-sequencing type of deal than straight-up emulation/modulation. Sort of like a drum machine, but for electric guitar.Hammond, Steinway, Moog.
Yeah... ...you know, stagnation. Sometimes, having ways to change-up my thinking helps keep me engaged in my playing. I've been playing guitar for a long time. Long enough that I get stuck in patterns sometimes. Seems to be a given with practice. For weeks at a time, I pretty much shut myself out and play for 4-6 hours a day. It's great for my technique. Gets me looking away from the fretboard more and relying on the tactical feedback to guide my hands. I'm "on" every time I pick up my guitar, even if I'm not feeling it.Laurels?
Jeez....
I have! Guitarist born and raised, man! Literally half of my short life has been devoted to it. I intend to play it until my hands don't work anymore. Other things come and go and that's okay. My last ex old me she was leaving me because I was already married... ...to my guitar.RZ I love ya, but damn.
Pick an instrument. Learn it. Play it.
Challenge accepted. Bout 2/3rd's there, now. Some really nice breakways in the second half! I prefer paypal.I have one US dollar here for whoever can make it through this:
As far as I know, they're not not the same as what I'm trying to explain. You're talking about electric organs, pianos, and analog synthesizers, right? That's what I think of when I hear those names.Really? You can't tell the difference? Yer fuckin' with me! It IS HAMMOND, STEINWAY, MOOG.
Do some homework, homie...
It's OTAY RZ.As far as I know, they're not not the same as what I'm trying to explain. You're talking about electric organs, pianos, and analog synthesizers, right? That's what I think of when I hear those names.
What I'm thinking of is something that literally takes stored-away pre-recorded notes that have been pulled directly from the guitar and feeds them into whatever you want. It's way more simple than a hammond or a moog, which generate sounds that sound like other instruments organically. Unlike with those, I'm not trying to pull the sound of a guitar out of thin air. It's completely sample-based. It wouldn't be a unique instrument that sounds like a guitar. What comes out literally is a guitar.
It's technically not an instrument in itself, nor does it try to emulate an instrument that it isn't. Whatever midi controller used would just be a passthrough. It's just pulling samples of an instrument and playing them back. It doesn't even have to be a keyboard. You could rig guitar samples up to an electronic drum kit, a pad sequencer, or even a regular computer keyboard.
Kind of a similar principle I suppose, but it's more direct.
LOL, nope, still jazz.Hey there K, maybe something not AS jazziful....
It's awesome.
Hammond, Guitar, Drums.
I understand.I just can't dude. The funk bass was alright, but the rest, just more jazz doodling to my ears, musical scribbles.
WHAT? Nope. that is NOT Jazz.LOL, nope, still jazz.
Atomic Rooster? Well the song started off with psychadelia, but then devolved into the repetitive variational phrasing so typical of jazz... so jazz-y? Especially the drums. Drummer kicks ass though, still not for me.WHAT? Nope. that is NOT Jazz.
That ain't jazz.LOL, nope, still jazz.
LOL. That's cool, better than Yanni at least.Sorry k,

Three-piece:
Yanni? That is feces.LOL. That's cool, better than Yanni at least.
Oh no, you were right the first time. I think. At least if you intended to insult feces.Yanni? That is feces.
No, that is not feces.
He he he......Oh no, you were right the first time. I think. At least if you intended to insult feces.
LOL, nobody knows where I am, nor where I'll be, not musically, not even me. All of these are actually in my library, I just shuffle and listen.Ahhh, gotcha.
I know where you are now.
I do not, not well. I can play piano by ear but my fingering is all wrong, and slow and sloppy and I don't have the patience. Same with violin. Just never had the patience, and my parents never had the funds to encourage us to play.K,
So, you do not play an instrument. Correct?
Type O is good stuff.

I'm aliveWhere's my Robot Zombie?????
Haha, I'm not mad dude. I still think we were trying to have two different conversations.It's OTAY RZ.
I think you already know where I stand there. I don't really feel a pull to go big. If I had fame, I dunno what I'd do with it. Probably go live in isolation and drop albums from a drone. I just play as an extension of my appreciation for music. If I decide I wanna put something out there and people like it, great. If not, nothing really changes about what I do. Wouldn't either way.If you make stuff that you like, cool.
If you make stuff that other folks like, cooler.
If you make stuff that everyone likes, fuckin' kewl!
My point is, do what you like. If the great unwashed massed enjoy it, then you have a small chance of actually making a living as a musician.
Yes, you could. ....and many folks do.As far as I know, they're not not the same as what I'm trying to explain. You're talking about electric organs, pianos, and analog synthesizers, right? That's what I think of when I hear those names.
