I was showing the trailer to my wife last night and my daughter walked into the comp room. She asked/told me "If they want to play guitar so much, why they just didnt buy a real one to play".

Shes awfully smart for a 7 year old :DR

I made it through part of the trailer. Performance art? Like figure skating but not absurd? Tripe pure and simple. What people will do for a buck or face time on a screen.

What's worse is that I've seen some "players" air guitaring their guitar.............more focused on looking kewl than on anything approaching actually playing the guitar........:rolleyes:

But, that's what single finger power chords were invented for. :D

Back in the 80's I would constantly bump into a guy that was touring the USA doing air guitar shows and mime acts and making a living at it. I doubt that he has retired from all the royalties that he produced from writing air songs.
