If the guitar synthesizer is really going to stand as a synthesizer on its own, it needs to develop a more characteristic sound; I don' think it's gotten there yet.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.
