Last Monday 25 July 2005 17:32, Jay Vaughan was like:
when was the last time you ever required someone to
read the manual
for their 6-string before they could play it? or their bass? or a
flute? or the violin?
sure, it takes skill to play an instrument.. but its the doing that
makes the skill, not the reading.
users should -never- be -required- to get trained before the
instrument will work. the instrument should work, by itself, by
default, anyway..
I've tried everything, coercion, heavy irony, psychological violence, even
sexual favours and my bass still completely refuses to play itself. It
doesn't make a sound, it just sits in the corner of my room and looks strung
up. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!
