While it picks-up vestigial amounts of the guitar proper, what it is really for is to amplify the sonic aspects of the instrument when used percussively.I grew up in the 1970's enjoying all manner of what we called 'progressive rock'. I liked the popular "commercial" stuff, I liked the Baroque-leaning stuff, I liked the free-jazz-y stuff, I liked the extremely outre' experimental and improvisational stuff, and I liked the music that spawned or was spawned-by it. While watching a BBC documentary on the subject the other day, I realized that Yes-keyboardist Rick Wakeman has a great sense of humor. I dedicate this piece to him.
