I thought this was cool. Shows what a bunch of people can do with one guitar;

As far as the OP tune, sure it's music.

As amazing as that was in the performance of it and the concept . . . the thing that most stuck out to me was the quality of the recording. I didn't see any pick up or wiring to the guitar. Was that all captured by the mic standing in from of it? Wow . . . I've been out of the studio way too long!

By the way, I really didn't care for the strumming technique used by the guy playing the string on the head stock before the nut. He needs a lot more practice man!!

Each musician has their own 'style' and you could say it is either music as art, music as an expression, music for $+£, music for pleasure, music for pain, music music, me-you-sic, la la etc.

What this shows me is that very few of those that got the guitar could actually play it. After watching the first two videos where the guys played music the next bunch I watched just did silly stuff. I suspect they can't really play too well. These guys are pro players? A waste of time for the most part.

Too bad because the idea is really cool. I was disappointed.

For the few guys who actually played music the guitar sounded good. The rest were trying to one up each other in nonsense.

This is music. Isn't it?

Oh yes. Without a doubt.
