I've always known this was a dumb crowd, ever since I saw "vintage electronics" that had no tubes or any other rare/difficult-to-make part going UP in price over time. Theoretically, if I could convince one of these screwballs that it would make their guitar sound good, I could sell them a 486 computer for like, $10000. Allow me to state the obvious: nobody tunes by ear. There are cheap, tiny tuning devices to help you, and if you're not using one, YOUR GUITAR IS OUT OF TUNE, BEETHOVEN. Also, the only way to be able to perform songs with different tunings is to have different guitars ready to go with those tunings. I can confirm that SGs, particularly ones inexpertly strung by me, go out of tune just from being looked at much less from playing bendy notes. What I want to see, and I can't wait to own one so I can be the first retard to do this, is watch the robot start autotuning and the strings all go POP POP POP because you're (I mean me're) stupid. But the Gibson engineers seem to have been ready for this (they know their customers) and it really does look fool-proof. (3:34:22 PM) my coworker: ok that's pretty cool (3:37:42 PM) my coworker: i'm left wondering (3:37:59 PM) my coworker: what in the hell shitty bands will do for the first 30 minutes of their show once this technology becomes affordable??? (3:38:50 PM) Me: I thought even shitty bands had guitar players with more than one guitar handy. But then again, I don't generally see or care about shitty bands that can't figure that out. [Fake snobbery to cover the fact that I don't usually see bands at all.] (3:40:39 PM) my coworker: well true, but often i find myself at a show for a band, that has other bands opening for them who are quite shitty (3:40:54 PM) my coworker: and who spend a lot of time saying "check, check, sibilance" and tuning their fucking guitars So maybe the problem is: now they have to demonstrate how bad they are more often, instead of giving their audience time to forget that they suck. |
