Brian Green, who’s always coming up with strange and bent electronic music gadgets, put together this iPod touch guitar and demos it in this video.
Green explains:
Its something i basically did for fun, its not something i would use live and i don’t use the guitar in a normal sense for my music so it really would serve me no purpose.
Ok the main the i would like to clear up is NO NO NO i did not glue the itouch(s) to my guitar, there were several blogs that did a post about this and it seemed like one of the first ones that did said that i glued them to my guitar, this is false.
I seemed to get a lot of hate for the fact that i “glued ipods” to my guitar and that it was a dumb idea and so on bla bla bla, well i mean the whole idea of it was kinda a joke to begin with but my point of doing it was to do something inovative, i got the idea to try it after i seen a guy who added a guitar hero neck to a real guitar and then i made this.
Green’s iPod touch guitar appears to be more of a mashup than an instrument per se.
Leave a comment with your thoughts on the iPod touch guitar.
Very cool idea! He is playing music software on the iPods and mixing their sound with that of the guitar. A simple and creative presentation!
I'll be getting an iPod band together for a free improvisation session in Halifax, Nova Scotia on May 4 and just might create a variant of that idea. So far there are 4 of us. If you are in Halifax and interested in participating contact me via Twitter at @cybermusic .
Cheers!
Sounds like a cool event.
