My inbox has been jammed for the past two-three days with many folks weighing on in the guitar/synth idea and or/question, not that I feel it should be a question. Play what you must, I say....anyways, i'm specifically responding because I feel that if the music is being listened and/or made, it should be appreciated for just that. As usual, someone tells us that Holdsworth had the wrong idea when he played the Synthaxe,...jeez do you now what went into the making of any of those instruments, or what he went through to acquire one of them. Allan genuinely loves music and makes music, he wasn't trying to make guitar-synth sounds,...basically it's the labels that kill us, that make it really hard to even want to try to do anything, let's stop the slagging when it comes to who decides to play what, where and for how long. If you didn't dig it, someone else will. If no one digs it, at least someone TRIED to create,...and isn't that what we're all after...? -----Original Message----- From: Taaffe, Denis G <dtaaffe@indiana.edu> To: 'Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com' <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> Date: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 12:24 PM Subject: Re: Guitar synth..take it (or leave it ) for what it is > >Hi, > > Well, I think it 's a cool idea.
