MIDI-guitar
Terratec seems to be producing some nice stuff. Check out what they've done.
Synth-guitar in the Eighties and Nineties was quite a clumsy apparatus. It reacted too slowly to fingers creating music. John McLaughlin - and some others (Alan Holdsworth, Metallica...) - tried it but it was probably more like an experiment. McLaughlin's flashy fingers were too much for the abilities of the synth-guitars of those bygone-days. But today it seems that Terratec is getting into something. Burr Johnson shows in his videos quite incredible things. And I believe this is just a beginning. When the rest of the guitar heroes find out what you can do with MIDI and other companies get more involved in the developing of the MIDI-guitar there is going to happen some nice things. I've seen guitars with MIDI-abilities - pickups and so - but but Burr Johnson's show with Terratec AXON Ax 100 is the best yet.
