  2. Ghostdog,
    well, because synths were designed primarily to allow guitar(or other real instruments) sounds to be played by non-guitarists using an interface that universalized the playing of different tones. A 'synthesizer' user could conceivably play many different 'instruments' while having learned the handling of one GUI.
    In the old days of synthesis there was a real emphasis on emulating acoustic instruments and instruments which led to exactly this type of music on a gazillion Moog records.
    Having said that, It sounded very much like Yngwie Malsteen to me.

  3. Also, let's not confuse the sound of distortion with the sound of guitars.

  9. there was some interesting melodic interpretation there but i have to say that's the first time i've seen a Bach performance of any kind which made me think "yeah i could do better than that." and an italian no less! usually these guys just blow me away.

    he got alot of the notes just plain _wrong_ in a way that did not strike me as an interpretation but a ham-fisted recollection of what an hairmetal guitarist might have done with the piece if reminded "yeah dude the Tocatta might have originally been written for violin."

  10. Well done !
    This is a good example on how to use the low note priority and adapting your playing style to it. The player appears to play low note priority mono synth for a while.
    I wonder if there is someone using high note priority on the very same peace of J.S.Bach.

    keep on turning these knobs

    Till "Qwave" Kopper

  12. Hey guys, don't forget that this thing was played in a monophonic synth!

    I really like this kind of interpretation...

    If you can do any better, Mr. suit & tie guy please post your own video!
    I'm curious...
