Legendary innovator, UK 'tabletop' guitarist Keith Rowe has explored the guitar as a primary source of pure sound, extending it with an array of objects and bric-a-brac, for more than 30 years. Keith Rowe is probably best known for his groundbreaking work with AMM and the SCRATCH ORCHESTRA. "Twanging ruler-shaped objects set off a cartoon style jiggling tremolo, a block of foam causes mountainous scuffling booms...A one man sound lab and dub studio formed out of a corner hardware shop.."[The Wire June 1999]

The action on that guitar is just too high, no way you could do any face melting mega-sweep arpeggios or blazing pentacostal scale runs!!!!! Sounds like it's intonation is a bit off too ... just sayin.....

Hey Swarm69, Maybe if he used your wife's vibrating dildo it would sound better? Since you are such a fanboy of this vomitus! This shit isn't fit for even a Sci-Fi movie....

This kind of stuff is really fun to do. But I don't like to do what he does and potential hurt the guitar. I just think it's really cool, to just put your guitar in a low drop tuning, sit it down, turn every knob on your amp, and every knob on your effects all the way up, then just flick an open powerchord and play aimlessly with your effects. Wonderful.
