"Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a mechanical guitar playing robot, named the Crazy J. The guitar player is composed of two mechanical systems that interact to play a range of 29 musical notes. A plucking mechanism with six independently controlled picks is mounted over the body of the guitar and a fingering mechanism with an array of 23 fingertips is mounted over the first four frets of the fingerboard."
Finally, no more ego driven flake outs, no more arcane song structure to support extruded fret board finger mashing, no more incremental small loans from the band fund to pay for 9 volts and 6 packs, no more lame attempts to steal the bass player's girl/boy toy, and no more "conan the luteist" posing sessions. Full story here.
