They claim that it's capable of churning out endless Metallica riffs without need for anger managment.

It doesn't sound very good but still appeals to my inner geek...

I don't quite understand the point of this machine..

Its quite cool. It sounds almost synth-like because of the identical attack on each note. Shame it only has one string and that tone.

Maybe I should have posted in band managment instead. Imagine being able to replace the guitard with this :-)

It shouldn't be too hard to make it control 6 strings and build in some random element so that each hit isn't so exact. It would have been even more cool to strap it on an acoustic guitar and play maybe spanish guitar...

A guitarist without the ego....I like it!
