End of Guitarists ?

[Jsegura]

If you can use it projecting all your feelings, is a good news, but it would not be the end of the guitarists. It would be another form of play the guitar.

Where's the emotion or personal touch that you get from a human? IT'S NOT THERE! It will sound unnaturally perfect. Jimi Hendrix was a genius and he made plenty of mistakes!

[Jsegura]

Jimi Hendrix was a genius, but the sonorous universe is infinitely greater than Hendrix or any other
musician. If that apparatus is a musical instrument, a musician really, can make music with him. Its music will be as human as anyone. The feeling is not in the instrument but in the musician. The feeling of a musician cannot be judged therefore by the instrument that play.

History, gentleman - and I dont mean this making history, I mean look at history -
player pianos, automated bass drums, banjoes with wooden "fingers" engaged with a cam -
this is nothing more than an old-fashined idea (simulating human touch on an instrument mechanically) with modern robotics as the tech advantage. Just google player piano, or mechanical music - and see a hundred years worth of devices like this.

Those histories are as real as you. It cannot have limits for the creation through an instrument. Each one puts its limits. At the most limits you put, smaller you will be. What would say our grandparents if they saw us make music with a computer? Something similar to which you say now.

Nope, won't be the end of guitarists. Playing guitar is not about just having sound waves move through the air. It's about a person sitting down and expressing himself through an instrument that, through hard work and innovation, is an extention of himself. Guitar players love to play guitar for the sake of playing guitar. People who really love music love to watch the guitar player as much as hearing the notes. Music is a window to the soul of the artist. A machine will never replace that. It may still get used, but guitar players will never go away.

Can that thing Windmill then smash itself up though?
