the guitar is a pretty good user interface. quite limited affordances for discovery, physically painful for beginners. but the tactility, auditory feedback, immediacy of interaction, and latitude of technique is about as good as you can get. it's definitely one of those "UIs for experts" which require a lot of training to get use out of. as a result it will never catch on or become culturally popular, leaving the instrument as a niche device which few have ever heard of, let alone used
