Like I said, I realize that synths and stiff can be difficult to play, I just don't like the sounds that many musicians choose from it. When I listen to a guitar, I still know that they have to do a good amount on their own skill. They still have to find the frets, still have to strum, and still have to get creative with palm muted and slides and bending the strings and so on. You still really have to play it, regardless of the effects you pit on it.
