Jam Sessions become LAN parties?
Soon, when you and your buddies get together for a Jam session, it might end up looking more like a Lan Party. You might all be plugging into a hub rather than an amp. You might be recoring on a high powered laptop instead of a high power amp, and instead of rocking the house, you might be able to pump the music worldwide.
Enter the era of the really electric guitar. Announced a while back, Gibson has finally launched its digital electric guitar. Right now most of you are probably thinking while this may be cool, Why did Gibson decide to replace the plug with an Ethernet Jack? First you'll get Distortion free audio that you can feed directly into a computer. Second, each string will be on its own channel with a special pickup that can act as an analog pickup or an acoustic pickup. This means that you can spatialize, distort, and separate the chord by string. I haven't heard it yet, but this may completely change how music sounds in the future.
I can already envision gibson digital guitar v 2.0 ... Wireless ethernet.
