Location: Flahdaw | Seeing Trader Jim's guitar photo on the "Florida Guys" thread, it got me thinking...Jeez there are some disgusting peices out there.
Let's see some other photo candidates for Worlds Ugliest Guitar. This could be good, and/or nauseating. |

(yeah, Tim's is sick, but I think it's supposed to be. I think the one T.J. showed was meant to be hot, but it's just UGLY. |

I'm not well versed on posting photos, but all you need to do it spend about 10 minutes at the Ed Roman site to see some pretty hideous guitars. And some pretty nice ones. |

I've purchased both Animusic DVDs and am looking forward to their next release. The animation software processes MIDI files and has to process notes in the future so that the motion required for the "instrument" to play the note is started in time.
The pieces run from all percussion to acoustic to strange synthesizer arrangements.
You can learn more about it, see more clips, and purchase DVDs and music CDs here: Animusic.com |

Mike, the thread was about ugly guitars. That model guitar is ugly looking. Nothing to do with playability. It's an Ovation. Of course it will sound great and be ultra playable.
But its ugly.
So are all the Adamii with broccoli stuck on the headstock, FWIW. |

If I may digress from this thread's real topic one last time to answer Iffy's question...
There are only two DVDs available. Both are great. The vids on #2 are in both widescreen and 4:3 aspect ratios, so more bang for your buck if you have a widescreen TV.
Number 2 includes "Cathedral Pictures" which is an adaptation of the "Gates of Kiev" finale from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition". That may be the nearest thing they've done to "Tubular Bells" and ELP fans should recognize it. |
