Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Some pretty smart people have tried to tackle it in the past. Even if they kinda got it right, you're dealing with implied harmonics, pinch harmonics, string bends, pre-bends, hammer on vs hammer off, etc...

all of that i woud suspect might need be added via symbols especially since so many different harmonics via pinching depending on pickups , pickup combos (SSS,HSS,HHH) which pickups you play over, so many variables .

Yeah, it'd be insanely complicated. I do know of a few projects that set out to do it.

My thinking is using machine learning to watch the hands with high-end cameras. Maybe add lasers to tell the distance between the finger and the saddle... It'd require a guitar made just for the purpose, or so I'd think.

It's a pretty complicated task.

By the way, does your username refer to Arch, the Linux distro?

its all im thinking bout now how can this be done thagt be done, using lasers cameras and mics would be a great way to insure proper picking patterns but im willing to agree you have to record alot of techniques and use machine learning to tab it out. im curious if a pressure sensored laiden board would be helpful in finger positioning as well. maybe sensors to detect vibrations of the strings at the neck and bridge as well. so many ideas so many thoughts but no cash to back the visions lol wonder if these "projects" would let us input information to them as ideas and hopes of moving the "project" along. any of these "projects available to view ?

btw yes i love arch linux been using an arch you spoke of i believe using cinnamon flavor normally xfce but thinking of complete desktop replacement for wife and doing away with windows if i can get sims 4 to working. cant think of distro at moment but its damn good and i like it.
