Reminds me of a statement - "Artificial Intellegence - when the real thing won't do." So, is this "Artificial Experience"?
Nothing better, IMHO, than steady gigging. I really got good at pedal steel by playing 4 or 5 nights a week. If my summer-long gig in Japan, with Roz and Jim Lowry, comes through, I am sure my Hawaiian steel will improve. Remember my Dad's mantra "The more you do it, the better you get." |

As opposed to the motto of one of the `ukulele bands I gig with, The Flip-Flops: "We're not getting any worse!" |

Super! Anything that can be done to introduce folks to the making of music in a non-threatening way is a good idea. So much music making is treated as "expert performs for the untalented". The beauty of music is in the sharing with others. Reducing the impact of the performer/audience barrier is a good thing IMHO.
Thanks for posting.
