"http://www.joness.com/gr300/G-505.html Adrian Belew offers some great insights into pushing the limits of the guitar synthesis in this vintage excerpt from an hour long instructional video. Belew loves to use the volume control for expression, and you may notice the volume knob on his G-505 controllers has been moved to make it more accessible!"

Adrian's was really interesting in that it shows that even a master has a bit of difficulty playing a guitar synth. You really have to meet it halfway between playing it like a guitar and a sequencer.
ReplyDeleteBut those other two, well the first one was just stock blah. Too bad, as the GR 707 is capable of producing some really wild sounds. The second one didn't even have the GR 77 used, just the controller "Let me teach you how to make your position in your group obsolete! A-one A-two".
And the band! Oh boy, that's the real mainstream 80's right there.
