Is this a luxury item or what?

shiok sia...

Very cool. Just as long as you don't get dependant on it.

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

OMG might as well put a cardboard cut-out stand of ourselves and let a machine play guitar for us.

Stick to Tuning forks! What better than to tune to what YOU feels is normal.

but to stick to the thread.. luxury? more like another cause for over-dependency.

I guess it would be more useful for guitar techs who tune for pros, when their boss break a string or something and requires quick change of string.

the world of robots is coming!!!!

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

"dude.. what're you gonna play for the solo?"

"umm what do you mean me?"

"oh right.. yeah... PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC, ROBOT!!!"

Performer_tuner

Transperformance's Performer is a new high-fallutin' computerized guitar tuning system that guarantees that your guitar can be tuned, de-tuned, and re-tuned with the push of a button. Not only does it guarantee perfect tune, but you can also switch tunings mid-song or between songs without changing guitars. The bad news is this costs more than any high-end guitar. So if you aren't Jimmy Page, you probably can't afford this system anyways.

In that case, I would recommend either the Buzz Feiten tuning system, the Floyd Rose Speedloader system or if you just want to switch to alternate tunings, check out a Line 6 Variax guitar and the Line 6 Workbench software.

nar, similar analagies would be the electric toothbrush, the electric shaver, motorised bicycles, you can have the non motorised ones, but we humans are always out to make things so easy for ourselves

 

[eugen3]

lol but think of it. its the solution to guitars that go out of tune oh-so-easily. there's an auto tune function i think that keeps your strings always in tune while playing. so no more tuning in between shows.

and btw the electronic toothbrush more effective kay. cleans dirt more effeciently

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

But what a solution! what an expensive solution!

then again.. we should not reserve tuning as a skill for the people who are not noobs.

 

[eugen3]

+1 to that man.

 

[imsuchajoker]

IF only they could invent an easy one for a floyd rose without having to get my neck care kit out..

 

[ala_carte]

IMO: piece of junk. might as well ask a robot to play the guitar for u while it's at it...

 

[trianglebiscuit]

i think its a great idea, tho i would prefer a less invasive version. what has tuning to do with substituting actual guitar playing?

 

[BrokenWingz]

What the ... :?:

Lame!

imagine, some big band ... eg, Metallica or GnR, in the mids of a song, tak this gun-of-a-tuner out ...

imagine Slash using tis to tune his LPs ... with his super hair do ... haha!

Lame sia !!!

Den all of us can take out our Chrom tuners or wateva from the pedalboards and start using tis!

i still prefer the normal tuners!

I'll neva even try tis out!

Lame! ... 8O

 

[eugen3]

you talking about the lp? why lame?

 

[trianglebiscuit]

i think hes refering to the robotic tuner in the first post. i still dont see why its lame at all.

 

[Guest]

:roll:

but still, it saves time.

 

[eugen3]

yep. and i dun see how saving time can be lame.
