LASER GUITAR!
ForteBass:
--- Quote from: ruyi ---imagine if after the first piano was created, somebody went "LOL how lame!! you don't have to worry about making the right pitch like you do on violin [[or whatever other instrument]], clearly you are teh suxorz at violin, now shut up and just learn to play violin right" (okay so i suppose there are factual errors in this...perhaps the violin was invented after the piano? and i'm ignoring the instruments that the piano evolved from. but anyways. too lazy to look it up.) but do you see what i'm saying? i don't think there's ever a good reason not to innovate musical instruments.

Factual errors in spades, little friend. See, while the violin had been around a good time before the piano, there were still harpsichords, clavicords, and pipe organs. Also, this reaction is common, as when the piano was made, they brought in Bach to test it out and he kinda didn't like it.
Barring that, as we've established this isn't a new idea. It's been done. They're available on the market. They're also not guitars, as it is a synthesized sound. Thus it is a synthesizer. Finally, the problem is not directly with the idea as it is with why the idea came to be. The person who came up with it claims the strings get in her way. As a guitarist this is just a silly thing to say. Ever.
ruyi:
ah. well. i suppose i should have clarified - that was my point, the fact that a lot of people had that initial reaction to the piano but then as we can see today, you can do all kinds of things that are unique to piano. but anyways. about the synthesizer thing - oh. i get it now. still, laser guitar could be profitable as a novelty item? also, i don't see where she says that the strings get in the way - i only see her saying "the resistance of the strings can really slow down your thumb/pick." that sounds...kinda valid to me. but then again i'm a newb at guitar.

I've always hypothesized that velvet would make a better fingerboard than rosewood.

Exactly.
Practice guys and you won't suck, come on.

Exactly.
Use heavy gauge strings, and build finger strength. I like my strings to fight backa little
