Adrian: I was just checking out your blog and I see that you featured the swanky Yamaha axe :-)
Me: I like pretty colors too, and the tuners are weird ;-)
Adrian: the design is kinda Apple-esque
Me: hmmm...yeah, hadn't thought of that. Might fit nicely with the 'pod
Adrian: that's what I'm thinking
Me: though they need some way of wiring the two together so you can play along with your iPod. Then they might be on to a winner!
Adrian: you could get a Y adaptor, and plug the guitar and the iPod into a little amp, and then plug your headphones into the amp... that'd work... maybe not quite as elegant as it ought to be, but it'd work ;-)
Me: hmmm...you'd need a mini to 1/4 inch adapter and the guitar and iPod have different levels. The guitar output is lower
Adrian: I'm sure there's a way to do it. My bass amp has two inputs, one for line level input and one for lower level inputs
Me: Yeah, that might do it. Some company had a guitar with an Ethernet port on it. I need to find that again
Adrian: Interesting. That sounds very familiar too. Seems like USB2 or FireWire would be more useful, but who knows
Me: Yeah. I don't know what the exact point of it was. Getting Ethernet from a guitar is a bit like getting MIDI from a CAD program.
And Writing about music is like dancing about architecture is one of my favorite quotes.
