Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-lust-on dept.

tdiman writes "The world's first digital guitar, using Gibson's MaGIC digital transport standard, was introduced February 20th at the Intel Developers Forum." We've been following this one for awhile, I'm really curious to see what something like this can do.

    it goes back to Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page in the 60's... ...who possibly appropriated the idea from an old impoverished blues artist and never credited him.

    Jimmy Page was a ripoff artist, not a single original idea in his head.

    Zeppelin sucked, with the exception of John Paul Jones, whose talent was extraordinary. Jmmy Page and Robert Plant did nothing but bring music down and lower the bar for good loud music.

    Fans of Page, who is/was unable to hit the notes that should be hit at the right times, will chalk this crap playing up to "artistic licence" or his being "a loose player".. I'm sick of hearing this, he was a SLOPPY player and didn't deserve the experiences he's had.
    As Mindless Self Indulgence says, I Hate Jimmy Page.
