Yeah, the '''SynthAxe''' made me think a whole lot differently about the guitar, and at one point I was considering not playing guitar at all. I initially wanted to play a wind instrument, and when I used a breath controller with the Synth-Axe, it allowed me a certain amount of expression that I was unable to get from the guitar, particularly the ability to make notes loud and then soft and then loud again, and to change the sound of the note after it had been struck. On the guitar you can shape notes a little bit, but not as much. When the '''SynthAxe''' company went out of business, however, I decided that I’d better go back to the guitar. | Yeah, the '''SynthAxe''' made me think a whole lot differently about the guitar, and at one point I was considering not playing guitar at all.
