Misa Guitar

Posted on | | No Comments


Struggling with sore fingers could be a thing of the past for aspiring guitar players. The digital guitar is here. The Misa Guitar is really a midi controller but it looks like a guitar, waddles like a guitar and quacks like a guitar. Or like any other instrument.

Electronic music has always involved some preparation. In the seventies Emerson Lake And Palmer showed what a keyboard player in pajamas could do with a bunch of electronic gizmos but that still left little for the devoted neck-fondlers in the way of self expression.

According to the inventor: “The aim is for people to be able to translate the music in their head, out of the guitar in a more intuitive manner. I believe I have succeeded with this design. Because this instrument is really fun to play and really addictive. Much of the frustration of playing the tradition guitar is gone, but the digital guitar itself challenges your creativity more. This is the direction musical interfaces should be taking.”

The notes are found on the neck in the same way you would find them on guitar strings. The difference is in the work the right hand has to do. The body of the guitar is a touch screen with volume control and sound variations assigned to areas on the body.

Here is a video demo:

So it’s not a real guitar with strings. If they had touch screens in the seventeenth century people would have played them. Now we have them, we can be purists or we can embrace the new world. You can’t actually buy one yet, so here’s the Misa Guitar Website where you can arrange to grab one when they become available.
