OMG how weak, why didn't they take somebody who could actually play?
ReplyDeleteIt's a Roland 707 guitar which has the Roland logo and model number on that black bar, except this dude covered it up. He should have put the black tape over his head because his performance was terrible. Bad timing and way pitchy dawg.
ReplyDeleteHere's waht I think of when I think of the 707:

The G707 guitar looks cool, but I've heard a number of people who've played it say that it's impossible to keep in tune.
ReplyDeleteAKA the 'Dalek's Handbag'
ReplyDeleteThat guy is whiter than me and that is really saying something.
ReplyDeleteRoland G 707
ReplyDeleteit looks so cool, and the extra bar can't have any real puspose, but to make the thing look cool, and it does : )

Jim "Spiders and Snakes" "Wildwood Weed" "My Girl Bill" Stafford - wow, that brings back memories. Back in the mid-seventies he had a television show I used to watch religously as a kid. He had a robotic hippie-partner he used to do bits with.
ReplyDeleteWay more talented than he's getting credit for here.
And those hits (unknown to me , sorry) were guitar songs? :-/
ReplyDeleteSYNTHESIZER!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how YOUNG Jim was in that video! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip down memory lane.
Wow. That was the un-funkiest performance of Axel F I've ever heard.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's really saying something.
fricken sweet o_O
ReplyDeleteThe bar was there to stiffen the instrument and to absorb harmonics to help the pitch converter work better.
ReplyDeleteHere come the armchair commenters again... Those things are impossible to play: tuning and time lags thanks to the MIDI thing, so I think he did a fair job actually.
ReplyDeleteOK it might have been not THAT bad but the armchair thing is bullshit, pardon sir, I can sure tell bum notes and timing problems from tracking errors, I have been playing my guitar synth for over 10 years up to now and it is not the latest model either.
