Hi everyone, i'm a guitarist and a product design student working on his final project, and i need your help! I was intrigued by modular guitars, so i did some research and i reached to the conclusion that there is not enough market for this kind of instruments (eaven if some companies produce them), basically because we love to have multiple models with their own personality. This is why i switched to travel guitars. They have a much bigger market, with a lot of different models, but most of them are too big to be carried with you in an airplane and look more or less the same. My idea is to create a collapsible travel guitar, characterized by some interchangeable parts (such as pickups, knobs, fretboard radius, neck profile, bridge…) that allows you to create your own configuration. I think that the moduar aspect in this case would be justified, because when you travel for work or when you are on holyday, you totally can’t carry more than one guitar with you, especially if you use public transports. So, my questions are: - What kind of guitarist are you? - Wuold you buy a collapsible modular electric guitar? - Wich features would you like to have in such instrument? This is it, thank you so much for your help!

Hi there! I think that movement of the right hand is finally crazy, (I mean jerking the thumb, it shouldn’t move like that, at least I haven’t seen it anywhere). Or are such movements ok ? My thumb moves very freely during the playing, I have never seen it played like that. I tried to fix my playing and play only with my wrist , but songs where different strings are involved, I finally can’t. Accuracy is lost in that way. I have some kind of mixture of my wrist and fingers playing, I don’t even know how to fix it and whether it needs to be fixed at all. If i play some fast stuff from string to string, then I already use the wrist there, not my fingers. But songs where the spread between the strings etc., it does not work. Is it normal to play like this? I need your opinion on this, thanks VID_20230408_141915_918.mp4
