The great thing about being a nerd is that you look everywhere to find out about new kit. In this case, I was watching a recent episode of Beyond Tomorrow on the Science Channel and they showed off this little gadget. This is the Yamaha EZ-AG Digital Guitar. Its not a real guitar, mind you, though it does have strings to strum and a neck to play chords and notes on, but each string and fret position is actually a key, like on a keyboard. It can be used as a MIDI device, but its mission is to teach people how to play the guitar, and I think its fantastic. Its retailing for US$199 and it runs on batteries! Neato Toledo!
