I was at an open mic last night. In a close in suburb. Forest Park. Nice place. Big stage. New Owner. Cool guy.
At any rate, there's a mixed crowd. A lot of younger people. Some 20-somethings. And at one point a guy played on a silent guitar. After he was done I went over to chat with him about his guitar. And at the same time a young 21-ish woman came over too. She asked the guy where she could find his music. He said, "I'm on Instagram." She said disgustingly, "I'm not on that. That's for Millennials."
So I guess facebook is for Boomers. Instagram is for Xers and Millennials. The young generation is somewhere else.

Looks like what I used to whack the rugs on the clothesline for my Mom.

Those are ugly semi-guitars.
TikTok, Instagram(sounds like a hot breakfast cereal),X, the Book of Face, ¥.
Blech!
All good places to avoid.
I don’t know a millennial from a X’er or a Y’er. I hope to keep it that way.
Just post a written notice on the grocery store bulletin board that your cassettes are available and list your address. Checks & money orders accepted.

Next IdiotJam, I am bringing a steamer trunk full of my latest 78s. I accept bits (in even lots only, please), or I have a new application called "PennyPurse." You simply calligraphize the amount on a piece of parchment and that amount magically appears in a jar buried in my backyard. |

Here's the guitar the guy played. (any way I thought it sounded like CRAP) An airline pilot friend had one of those. It didn't take up any room in his luggage, and he could play it in his hotel room on layovers. |

I keep thinking that a nice Impulse Response file/pedal could make these crappy piezos sound like something decent. Maybe it could. Maybe it couldn't. Of course his strings were slapping against the frets a lot, so maybe not so much so in his case.
They all seem to have 25.5" scale necks and profiles I would not warmup to.

With the tuners up against your body, I gotta believe the thing is easily accidentally un-tuned. And you couldn't correct the tuning while playing.

I am by no means a great guitar player, but doesn't being able to play at all require a certain amount of motor memory? Not just fingers, but everything.
Seating position, shoulder position, arm position, where both of your elbows are in space. All of that would be thrown off with one of these. I can't imagine playing one of those with the same level of adeptness as playing a regular acoustic guitar. unless the former is what you are used to.

No, it primarily requires bitchin' facial expressions. Always looks like you're severely constipated. And it's painful. Hope this helps. |
