Name one guitarist that has made it successful with this. Everyone wants to be as good as Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton etc after half an hour of practice these days. It takes years of dedicated study of the instrument to play well. |

Player: "Guitar. Drop tune."
Guitar: "OK. You said, retune."
Player: "No, no. DROP tune."
Guitar "OK. You requested drop D tuning."
:::Mid-song the player bends a note:::
Guitar: "I detect a tuning error, retuning to standard."
The crowd points and laughs.
The drummer slows down, then speeds up, then slows....
The singer flees the stage.
The bassist abides. |

What's next, devices that "install" in a few seconds years worth of musical theory, information and abilities directly to your brain (think the first Matrix movie, when Neo "learns" martial arts)?
So much for "practice makes perfect"...

| | | | If it's merely retuning the instrument to match the "perfect" pitches of the equal tempered scale, then it's not really that useful, as the guitar already has frets to do that job. What would be really intriguing is if it could retune to an alternate system like just intonation or 15 step equal temperament, although I suspect this is not the case. |

| | | | I personally would love to have a cheap Autotune if I get a band, for one primary reason:
2112. Singing "Temples of Syrinx" and others with the priests Incredibly high stuff. I sing a bit lower, get autotuned, it sounds fake...which fits the priests, does it not? |

| | | | Instant Alternate Tunings - Yes!
And a lot of bands were/are in Eb so guitarist can do massive bends on loose strings.
And women were makeup
Coke a Cola has artificial colors
And there's a lot more autotune going on than people know about
This is just another music tool in a musician's hand.
