Moog Guitar

(As reported over on Geek.com).

This looks fascinating. The company that gave you Moog synthesizers in the '70's, have now created a Moog Guitar:

It has five different sound modes, designed to give the player a wide range of possibilities to play. The most touted mode is the infinite sustain, which allows players to hold a note on every note and at every position.

Other modes include controlled sustain, mute mode, harmonic blends, and the Moog Filter.

Check out the video. Maybe I'm just showing my age (or personal preference in music), but I'd have liked to have have seen what Carlos Santana or David Gilmour could have done with it, rather than Lou Reed. Or maybe they just tried it out on artists in New York.

You do of course realise that Lou Reed is older than both Carlos Santana and David Gilmour and has been making music longer than them as well?

I think its down to your shit taste in music.

Yeah, Carlos Santana and David Gilmour are way, way, way overrated guitarists. They barely know how to play.

At least Lou Reed writes good songs...
