I always find the descriptions for these things amusing..."Practice anywhere, on a bus or at work"...if people saw me with that thing in public they probably would think I'd just escaped from some asylum.. Not to mention that they cannot really be that portable if they are true to scale. [:D][:D] acctually that reminds me of a story of when i was using this to practice at work... used to work at a internet cafe...involved alot of sitting down , downloading crap, looking at porn, allocating people computers, etc.. so id bring this along to keep busy...one day i was using it when this lady walked in..i was practicing rasqueados.. I didnt see her at first but she seemed puzzled.. She: " What are you doing ?" Me: "Practicing guitar" She: "OHh" ( i could see pitty in her eyes all the sudden) in a condescending tone and while leaning forward as to seem non judgmental she asks "And.....what are you playing now? [:)]" Me [8|] Edit quote:
These things have nothing to do with a real guitar. They are just dead strings and you´ll end up with a dead technique. Waste of time and money I disagree, this things are great supplement for the times when you cant have a real guitar, thats all, just for the times a real guitar is not an option (obviously if you can get the tension as close as possible to your guitar its a bonus) ...but they great for warming up your right hand if you in a car or flying to a gig or because u driving there and its far in the country u don't have time to warm up and have to setup quickly and go straight on....believe me...better this than none at all... they great for practicing the mechanics of arpegio, rasqueado, picado etc...anything to do with the right hand...the mechanics of it, thats all..one can effectively practice rasqueado, picado, arrpegio with muted strings on guitar and many do at times so why not with this ? not only is this not a waste of time but id go so far the other way and say its gold ...a great idea...for those times u cant fit a guitar in the backseat of a car on long drive to a gig..
