I'm a caveman. I have no idea what I just watched. I didn't see a bass or a guitar; I saw some sort of iPad-looking thing and a guy standing there apparently doing nothing. Moving along now...

I was really hoping his mom was going to come in and tell to turn that sh*t down and clean his room.
I didn't see the future. I saw someone with no talent banging on an electronic device, thinking they are making music. This will never make it to the general public.
Holy crap! Very cool.
Never ignore new music. You'll miss everything that's old about it.
The Kitara looks like a lot of fun. For you guys thrown off by the brat in the hoodie, here's a sample with a bit more musicianship. You fret actual notes on the fretboard while controlling tone/effects with the touchpad. There's lots of possibility for expressiveness there.

I watch many videos of that new "digital guitar" and seriously I only saw talentless people who don't know what they do.
If this is the future in music ... well I might as well quit now... I can't belive we went from incredible talented classical composer and then every year we dumb down the music and we are at the point where it is that ??? man ...

Impressive, but not my cup of tea. Can't oppose new stuff, glad you found your voice, as everyone should. As mentionned in a previous post, keytar didn't kill keyboards (or guitars, for that matter) and this won't either. Simply a new way to express music.
It's a fun synth, but it can't replace a real string instrument. With real strings you have the sensitivity of touch and different places of tension. For instance, if I want to make a particular note warm and soft, I play with the pads of my finger up at the neck. If I want something clanky and powerful, I dig in with my nails at the mid point between the neck and bridge. You can be dynamic with the real thing. With a touch pad, you can't really do that.
Oh, I see what it is now. I guess it's kind of cool if you want a synth sound but only know how to play a fingerboard.
Unfortunately it looks like a cheap toy, like a Guitar Hero controller. and did you guys see what these things go for?!!!! Link Removed No thanks, if I'm blowing that kind of money on a toy it better float and have a few hundred horsepower.
Just buy a good keyboard and learn how to play piano. Cheaper in the short run and better for your musical development in the long run.
Not much different than this:

And we all know what happened to it! Here is the ONLY way a Kitara is going to look cool on a stage... http://youtu.be/VjwQN8QaD7U

The Finnish word for guitar is kitara. And that's about all I have to add to this thread.
Bonus creds if you pop on a hood the next time you use something with a touchscreen.

Another POS device to toss in the pile of crap with all the other BS devices that mislead people to believing they actually have musical talent.
