Buddy's ultimate concept just might work!
Buddy has had the idea for Think A Change forever; whatever string movement you thought of, the guitar would do it.
FOX News just had a segment on a computer rig, where it would read the thoughts of the user, and the computer would just do it. It was an actual working prototype. Screen would change, applications, etc.
Buddy, your time may finally be here!!

Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a 10mm first.

When you get to the stage where you just think a tune and the instrument plays it you won't have to learn how to play.
Come to think of it, if I think of a tune like Sleepwalk I can hear the Santo & Johnny recording in my head. If I then get the computer to read my thoughts it will play Sleepwalk just like Santo did.
On the other hand I could just put the record on...

It's funny you should mention that, Alan. I've long had this idea that someday we'd have some sort of headset that reads brain waves, hooked up to a synth or sample player that would allow someone to play music just by thinking it.
Imagine seeing a concert or jam session where there are are 4 or 5 people sitting in chairs on an empty stage, nodding their heads and tapping their feet, while their imagined musical impovisations fill the room... Scary!

What if I accidentally thought of the wrong song, or wrong notes, or wrong footpedals, or wrong fingering or wrong fret or my kids or medical bills?
Will the song sound better after a few beers?
For each and every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction...
- if my brain is driving this, what effect is it having on my brain?
Do I dare mention bugs, glitches, viruses in the machine .. and therefore transmitted to my brain? Oh, I just did!
Computer stuff (even the ones built by other computers) are prone to the inherent errors of the men and women who made the computers.
Thats my 4 cents on it!

That would be cool...a Steelinator! Just hope it doesn't become self-aware and proceed to decide to annihilate it's creators. If you want to see it now go to www.animusic.com , click on DVD and clips.

Roger,
You are right. Computers have no soul at all. You know what else? They are only as smart as Bill Gates says they can be, which leads me to believe they won't be playing steel anytime soon. Heck, they probably can't even pick an inbred, hillbilly guitar with one string missing... You know, a banjo?

That's because it's in your subconscious. As an Accountant I can rattle figures into a numeric keypad just by thinking about them and my fingers move, or I can type without thinking. I haven't become as fluent as you on steel but if I play with my eyes closed I can usually get the tune out. There's something in our instinct that hears the frequency of the note immediately we play it and compensates for errors by moving the bar.basilh wrote:That's exactly what happens with me, if I can hear it in my head it comes out in my hands, the only thing is I don't think very fast.When you get to the stage where you just think a tune and the instrument plays it you won't have to learn how to play.
