Music is gonna get weird. https://www.dezeen.com/2017/06/30/royal ... ibrations/

Not that that isn't cool, but historically, for whatever reason, I have never seen wearables for music take off. I've seen a couple projects since 2010. Most of them are arduino and/or loop based and if I remember correctly a lot of the time they are just midi triggers. I think they're really cool along with whatever those people that use electronic sensors on plants are using.

So is the guitar still dead though? Will I get in trouble if I take it out this weekend?

Music didn't end when Clapton got famous. Go figure that kids of a certain age range like the popular music of the time, grow up, and wonder why no one is falling in love with music that was created 40 years ago.

This guy's not exactly lamenting the lack of kids into John Philip Sousa. Now there was an American pop star.

Exactly. If I subtract 40 years from around the time I started to fall head over heels for the electric guitar there was no fucking way I wanted to listen to Carl Perkins or anyone else from the 50s. I literally taught myself to play guitar thanks to my folks buying the Black Album tablature book, I can still remember forcing my fingers onto the seventh fret on the A and the fifth fret on the D and trying to play that crazy hard intro riff to Enter Sandman. Even if I had have heard A Boy Named Sue back then, I would have been incapable of recognising it for good guitar playing, and there's no way I would have gotten jazzed on it. In my 10-year old mind, guitar skills were magically granted with massive permed hair and spandex, and as I had neither I would have to settle for learning that shit the hard way.

Also a lot of other good arguments brought up about music-making as such in a digital age.

The most amazing thing about this performance is that it was a complete improvisation, right then and there.

It is nice.

How dare you speak ill of fuzz pedals though!!

Also, we'd just mic the acoustic and smash the speaker to get that distortion.

FYI acoustic basses [and guitars... I guess..] haves built in pickups so you and do this

I think I'm just done supporting and buying mass-production guitars. Prolly gonna sell all my Fenders except maybe my '62 Jag (FU hypocrisy!)

The Fender website is so disgusting with its promotion of rock idolism, I really can't stand it anymore. FUck fender

[Blackened Soul]

You should build your own guitar pickups and everything, think of the life experience factor

I'm also feeling like a hypocrite lately.
