The engineering behind this is nuts. Really outside the box kind of stuff. I can't imagine he'll sell more than a handful, and even then to some more wealthy folk who might want it for a novelty item, but best of luck to him.
I'd really like to see the gearing/motor behind the pick wheel. When it was doing that start/stop routine halfway through the motion looks really accurate and smooth. This definitely has limitations, but I wonder how many of those could be overcome with footswitches and pre-programmed controls. At that point though, I wonder how much this becomes "Guitar DJing".
You’ve said what I think. Exactly. It’s nothing more than a novelty. Might be used on one song that exhibits all its features and wonders, but nothing a learned player would want. Buckethead might like it.😊
For years, as a keyboard player, I've been searching for a computer program that really sounds like a live guitarist ... and then along comes a guitar that makes a live guitarist sound like a computer program ... oh the irony! ... wish them well with it though, this is true innovation at work ... if this is the first of it's kind, just imagine where it will go with the proper investment.

I think like most MIDI controller guitars, this item is only for a very select number of MIDI geniuses out there, like the inventor himself. When he is talking here in the the video about how he programmed the sequences being played, it's obvious that most people are never going to begin the path of learning to make use of a device like this.
Somehow the part at 4:20 reminded me of Muse with a less distorted tone. Matt Bellamy is no stranger to new coming up tech or gear and I bet he could whip up something unique with this. Edit: Of course later in the video Matt Bellamy gets name dropped and is actually involved with this. I wrote that comment before watching it to the end, but only fitting that he's in on that.
Have you approached any top talent and request they spend a private weekend alone with your guitar? The goal would be to return and make a critique video?
What is he doing with his hand on the bridge??? I get the six presets. What do all three of the smaller knobs do? Besides wheel speed? Is that a master volume way out on the upper treble bout?
Not sure who use this. Mechanical automatton of programming drums, strumming and instrument performance seems like a good idea on paper...not far from a robot playing a regular guitar...except the robot is in the guitar!!! Weird science!!!
Didn't he say plus vat? He's British, so I suspect its basically £10k plus 20%, so £12,000. Dollar price would depend on exchange rate but currently that'd be circa $15k.
One of the most ridiculous things i ever seen and heard. This is for the untalented. Huge waste of money IMO. Just another so called instrument for a lazy untalented gamer. What has this world come to? I’m glad Im at the age I am. I wouldn’t wanna live in this world in the next 10 to 20 years if this is what music would be.

I could see it be used in rap music, like a with a new approach
Looks like a MLP design. Somewhat unfinished, though
@@wolfgangdevries127 More like a DARPA project lol
So its every song by The Who
This is a one handed guitarist dream!!!
Perfect for when you can't find your pick.
😆
😂😂😂😂😂
If this is the future of music ... you can keep it.

Finally anyone can play like robert fripp
I think Fripp is more musical than that.
Still can't get a girl like him though...
Amazing engineering.
Sounded way better than I thought it would.
This is great for anybody that wants to sound like they actually play guitar.
I thought it was somewhat mechanical
A raving guitar for deep trance.
Pretty wild. I love the inventiveness. Sad day when the moving components fail and it needs a pricey fix though.
True, but if built properly it should be able to last for many decades.
If.

Kinda be fun for a while...then I'd get bored.... clever tho
It needs a lot of imagination.
electromechanical charm with a human at the helm. Sounds timeless and futuristic at once.
Sounds like a banjo on speed.
All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It’s really just a question
Of your honesty
Johnny Greenwood needs one! He would do amazing stuff with this
Totally. Sometimes, for The Smile, it sounds like he's already made his own.
@pyroguitars1296 yeah I was thinking the same thing
Steve Vai needs on of these on the Hydra!
Hydra Is complete with this and no Linger needs Steve Vai 😂😂😂
@valentyndobrotivy9799 😀
FirebirdX:Was I a JOKE to you?
If he can bring down the price of this, it'll be huge. Plenty of conservative-minded types will criticise it, but they'll criticise anything new.
Constructive criticism is more valuable to designers than loaded nonsense comments like yours.
@@mablesfatalfable6021 Insults aren't constructive criticism.

King Crimson would have loved this
Prince would've loved that and probably based a whole album round it.

The Boss GM-800/GK5 does this sort of stuff already.
Can I dig it? Yes, I can. No whammy, though? Would be like a pitch wheel…. MarkII, for sure. 👊🏻

Does it chug ?
No one: Skiffle is too difficult!
This dude: I got you fam!
1931: Rickenbacker Frying Pan.
2025: Circle Washing Machine.
Where do we go for its oil change and maintenance ? NASA ?😂
Nightmares are dreams too

I think hes muting some strings.
The coolest guitar I have ever seen.
Strategic composer--- i like
Oh this is a commercial refined version of the 3d printed hundred picks a youtuber made.
Yeah, Swedish Mattias Krantz. Really wonder if any of them influenced the other
When making music on your computer isn't cold and impersonal enough
And here I was complaining about Strat switches being too complex
could be a neat thing for people with limited use of one hand? quite the price tag though, understandably.
I can appreciate the engineering and inventiveness that has gone into this, but I can't see it appealing to guitarists to be honest.
it looks great as a songwriting tool, if it was 5000 I'd get it right now.
Nevertheless it will be praised by a hurdy-gurdy player😉
Future? This is the next Guitorgan. We all remember what an important development that was for guitar technology.
Jonny Greenwood getting excited rn
COOL 😎 guitar 🎸 at NAMM SHOW 2025!👍😯
Or get a power drill like Paul Gilbert.
If you can make it. It doesn't necessarily mean that we need it.
That looks like hours of fun 😎👌
Not sure who use this. Mechanical automatton of programming drums, strumming and instrument performance seems like a good idea on paper...not far from a robot playing a regular guitar...except the robot is in the guitar!!! Weird science!!!
Will it require a CDL to operate it?
This thing is wild
That is so wild ❤
Yeah regular guitar is dead...This will break out a new set of players...looks like a danelectro...which i really like.
Very cool.
I don’t think it will take off. I think simplicity is the guitars strength.
I like it. I love gadgets, gimmicks, and devices for guitar!. But it costs how much?
I'd like to see what this could do if it was a bass guitar.
Sounds very unique.
Sounds more like a MIDI banjo. Seems like it may be easier to just program the guitar part.
Now this guitar definitely needs a sister that does all the chord stuff on the neck on its own and you just strum along.....
If AstroBot had a guitar made for him
A NASA engineer walks into a bar with a drum machine and a guitar and they all get drunk. Voila! 🤯
Looks like this would be in a toys r us store,if they were still around,not sure Id bother with it but Im sure someone would love it!
Very cool!
Me @ 4:12 "Sounds like the beginning of a Muse tune"......... Me @ 8:18 😲
Who will be the first,,to run this through a stack😮
Insane.
Give one to Bella Fleck
Chapeau! ;-) I wouldn't wanna play it ;-) but I like the thoughts behind it ;-)
Bonamassa has already ordered his
So Gen Xers can view their phone while playing
Fantastic.
I feel like IGORR could use this
I can finally toss my under-used metronome! 😅
I would love to see what Jimmy Page would do with this.
One for Danny Sapko
i hope Ed O'Brien is using his on new EOB album
Ever since he saw Eddie play with a Drill .......
Just one question, when will you play the guitar?
Aaaaaand ,,,,, they used to make player pianos , they sold many
But ,,,,,, ther was nothing comparable around
That would be the perfect instrument for an A.I. android robot!
Who needs real musicians after that?
i want RGB on that wheel
something Wes Borland would likely to use for big dumb face... LMAO XD
Reminds me of synth axe of Allan Holdsworth but fir nuts
What’s this gonna cost me? Ewwweee 10k, I’ll pick myself & I’ve got 2 line 6 variaxes that are pretty Flippin neat.
When does a guitar stop being a guitar, i thought we stopped this shit with the keytar.
Amazing gIzMo. I would do mind blowing things with this instrument. Too bad I'm poor.
Tempo change only
That's a NO on so many levels...
NAMM 2055? lol
9995 apples or bananas?

@@hotrodchris805 thx chris. mainly i just wanted to drop the apples and bananas thing though :D
The most annoying musical instrument I've ever heard if you can call it musical.
Oh boy, that's a fun toy.
All music will be from now that same patterns
this tall guy was a snob and arrogant. Ask him questions all he did was wiggle the knobs and strumming and not answering my question

Another way to suck all the joy and personality out of playing guitar.
I have absolutely 0 interest in this rig.
Leave him be.
Pure gimmick... but a really fun one...
What an expensive party gag.
I jave headache already
Hurdy-guitar, nice try!
tf i jus hear?
