See, I just hear, "Society was better before we had clean drinking water. Walking to the river 4 times a day and sometimes getting dysentery is what makes life worth living." Complaining about progress is weird.

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
You seem to have made a judgment of my values with little to no information and taken that to the absolute illogical extreme. You also seem to have failed to parse my prose. Oh well, life has long since taken away any ability I had to take offense anyways.
New does not equate progress and not all progress is good, many of the mistakes of our past were viewed as progress in their time, progress is not a single path which you are either on or regressing, there are many views of what it is and none of them are correct, but we can learn from them all. If we cease to hear the complaints and explore the alternatives we cease to progress.

32 frets, with the last few being non chromatic. Never noticed that before. Interesting.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 2:09 amColor and guard are weird, but I kinda like the shape...

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
I didn't either. I wonder what the difference would make note-wise...

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
Looks like the 32 is at the octave, so he has almost all of the notes up to E7, my eyes are to tired at the moment to figure out which ones he has. That is quite the range. Going to have to find a recording of him playing up there, curious what it sounds like, and what Uli sounds like, only thing I can remember of him is 'Winds of Change' and I have not heard that since it was the new hit single.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 2:37 amI didn't either.

Frogs are cool. The only thing I can't stand about it is the flame top coupled with the chrome guard...

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
Tuning a guitar is a series of musical decisions. Letting a robot do it is a copout.

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
No it isn't... Other than deciding what you want your guitar tuned to, the goal of tuning is to have each string hit that note as accurately as possible. If a computer can do that better than a human, it's better to have a computer do it.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 7:48 pmTuning a guitar is a series of musical decisions.

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
Tuning any fretted instrument (or any insteument where the notes are ”fixed”, but fretted instruments like guitars especially) is going to be a compromise.Stephen_42 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 6:12 am

Personally I prefer to be in control of that compromise myself.

Re: Guitars you would like to kill forever.
You can actually program the Gibson robot tuner to do whatever you want. And if you need to change something quickly in a song, there are still buttons there to override it.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 7:48 pmTuning a guitar is a series of musical decisions.

It is a tool. Just like tuners are tools, and guitars are tools. We use them to accomplish what we desire. What annoys me is the outlandish backlash against Gibson that eliminated a tool that could have been useful to many people.
I wonder if at one point people complained about geared tuners having greater than 1:1 ratio. Or loop stations. "A real musician gets more guitarist, or plays multiple guitar parts at once." Would those tools have been killed, too, in our modern world?
