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 .

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 ?

My sleep meds are kicking in so my usefulness is dwindling. The last person to (that I know of) take a stab at it was a VC over on HackerNews. While a pressure sensitive board might help, just measuring finger position from both sides should take care of that.

Figuring out which fretting finger is where isn't too complicated. Finding out what that finger (in relationship to the rest) is not so much a solved problem.

LOL I'm on the Lubuntu dev team. I even have an .me email address. I've been an official member for a while now, just renewing my membership not long ago.

I mostly do daily .iso testing, but I'll step up to do other tasks as needed - but I prefer not coding. I don't mind packaging too mcuh, but my time is best spent testing. I'm good at it. I like it. I find more bugs than any other tester. So, that's what I do.

I'm also the author of linux-tips.us, a growing Linux tips site.

On top of that, I'm a moderator at the linux.org forum. I have been at that for a while now.

I've been involved in Linux for quite a while now.
