That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been playing a lot of keyboards, especially in the last five or six years. I suppose it gives you more scope than the guitar, although it does tend to make you write a different way.
The guitar is a much more efficient machine than a computer. More responsive.
Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.
I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.
I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.
Still others want a traditional guitar sound if they call you for guitar.
To be honest, I'm one of the least-technical guitar players around. I just want a guitar to feel good and sound good. That's it, period.
The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.
