Ztar power

In a year where Guitar Hero is making (sound) waves, let us not forget that a guitar-with-buttons is something that has been around for a while. While we can skip over the Top Of The Pops-style synths-with-straps, the various MIDI guitars have led to the Ztar, a cool (if ridiculously expensive) piece of equipment deployed to great effect on last week’s Later with Jools Holland by Pendulum. Check it out.
(I can’t actually play guitar so if you’re a guitar purist and think this is the greatest travesty since Dylan went electric, I’m sorry for your troubles).
Some wry (and in one case) critical comments here and here. And yes, that is Al Green clapping along.
