i think  the buzzy sound  is either  my  recording or  your computer   .  it sounds   like  normal  guitar in real  life .

Comment by eK on March 6, 2012 at 11:10am
Interesting sound. Got some of that buzzy quality you got out of those old Coral Electric Sitars except it was their bridge that did it instead of their frets. Pretty cool. Now I'm gonna have to give this a try just to see what can be done with it. Thanks for sharing your idea with the rest of us. Much obliged.

Ha! I like that: Ddzzooiinnkk.

That's the sound a fretful pig makes.

no "DDDDzzzzzOOOOiiiiinnnnkkkkk" sounds... so good solution for fret...

"c'est très interessant Sir...

dans la pratique tout va bien...

mais comment cela fonctionne-t-il en théorie?"

(lol again)

"It's not a question of where he grips it. It's a simple a question of weight ratios..."

If it works, it works.  Some of the responses brought to mind an old joke about a French philosopher...."That's very interesting Monsieur....it is all very well in practice, but how does it work in theory?"....
