i saw an interesting reply regarding this subject when i dialed in from out of town over the past few days but can't find where it was...I'm not down on anyone who uses these aids for having fun but here's my honest take:

'best' musical inventions:

-A tuning fork
-metronome

'worst' musical inventions:

-guitar hero
-karoke
-transpose button
-electronic tuner (ok, they are certainly handy amidst a live performance)
-capo

all debatable but wondered other's thoughts...i could certainly elaborate based on my personal experiences...actually many anecdotes, much like Cathy's but on the other side of the coin


I remember one guy saying to me after a guitar jam tune, 'i thought you said you could hardly play anything? wow, you even know how to use one of those things (capo)!'

I replied, 'no, I only know how to use one of those things because I don't know how to use one of those things! (guitar)'
