monkey69962000 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) Well i went today to get a book at my local Borders Books, and the Sharper Image is right next door. Now i went in and saw this yahmaha. Now its stringless. I personaly think is is horrible. It plays horrible, the neck is wider, and the sound is like techno almost. When you find the setting for distortion, it sounds like a 60's robot snorring. Well what are other peoples view on it. If you dont know what im talking about then ill put a link up a little later. Little Later: http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/Conten...D500946,00.html found out its only supposed to teach, but still, it can only really act as a chord chart compared to a strat or an acoustic guitar.

Executioner606 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Looks like a really cheap version of a z-tar. If it sounds like a synth i might like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truerussian558 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) it is, its a synth guitar that lights up with chord positions and note positions. Now if only it can use regular MIDI files or maybe guitar pro files instead of only their files, i would look inot buying it, but since it doesnt id rather not. its a good tinker toy but id rather get a real guitar, though its a nice alternative if your caluses just got ripped off Edited October 3, 2004 by truerussian558 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dugz Ink Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Now if only it can use regular MIDI files or maybe guitar pro files It has MIDI in/out, so you would use a plug-in program like V-Sampler, Giga-Studio, or SFZ+ to "play" the guitar samples that you wanted to play... Tele, Strat, LP, Jazz, fretless... all at the click of a mouse. The technology still doesn't give us perfect sounding MIDI-generated guitars, but it's sounding better. Of course, the computer can only replicate whatever sounds are already sampled, and it's difficult to tell a computer how to interpret evereything that you can do with a real guitar, so there are still a lot of sounds that we can only create on a guitar. Computers are cool, but guitars still rule. D~s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
