Looking at the present and future guitarists, I'll stick with the past thanks. Audible dreck, 90% of it.

Very artist-ic?

Guitars are works of art that also make cool sounds. So they are better than paintings, sculptures etc. Nothing wrong with collecting them. Says the guy who can't play and is thinking about buying another one. Sigh.

I've still got my mate's JHS Morning Glory V4 available which is supposed to tickle the Bluesbreaker funnybone. I should probably pick up a guitar and play it before going to market for p...

That was quite interesting, and I know nothing of music theory, but it was well done I thought. Another rabbit hole for some people.
