air flute
The air tremolo might look weird. :lol:
Thanks to all for the suggestions about what air instrument to take up :)
I also emailed my friend about what to play and got the following reply:
------------------------------------------
Hi Chris,
Glad to see that you are taking your air career seriously. Here are some points for consideration:
Air Bagpipes:
Some potential if you enjoy attracting puzzled looks. Unfortunately, you can't just pick up your air bagpipes and play. The instrument has to be wrestled into position, the bag inflated, and a range of small rituals and adjustments performed before you can start to play. Not for the impatient air player.
Air Upright Acoustic Bass:
Perfect for the air player who has always wanted an excuse to wear a beret and dark glasses. Lots of cool bass twirling moves if you can master them. Be wary of hand positions however. From a distance an air bass player can look like a perv in dark glasses who is waving with one hand and scratching his crotch with the other one.
The really serious air bass player will also have to bear the added expense of buying an extra seat for their instrument on airline flights.
Air Church Organ:
Credibility problems here when trying to convince the audience that you're carrying a five ton pipe organ around. Best done in a church where actual organ music might be playing. Make sure you stand at the back though, as it's unwise to let others see you enthusiastically flailing about. Several air organ players have already been restrained under suspicion of being possessed by devils. It's therefore a wise precaution to carry a spare goat for sacrificial purposes.
Air Violin:
Almost all famous classical violinists have been Jewish. Many promising air violinists had to abandon their careers because they simply couldn't manage to look Jewish enough. Best advice here is to go for the "Mountain Man" fiddle style as even you Chris can look slack-jawed and inbred with almost no effort at all (FOOTNOTE: My friend actually is Jewish, but had to give up air classical violin because he looks Greek. He now plays air bouzouki in an Air Greek Wedding Band.)
Air Triangle:
Just don't. Air triangle is a one move joke, and everybody else has already cracked it.
Air Saxophone:
Don't give up on air sax. Just change to one of the more obscure variants such as the tiny sopranino sax or the huge contrabass sax. Good potential for pelvic thrust moves. Learn to ignore cracks about being a sax offender.
Seeya, Pete.
----------------------------------------------
It all sounds fraught with peril to me, so I've decided to stick to air castinets for the time being. Pete tells me that if I get caught out playing air castinets I can always swiftly change my action and pretend to be drying my nail varnish. I think there's a flaw there somewhere though...
Cheers, Chris
Man I'm gasing for one of these babies, do you think they do it in CAR, it must cost well over a grand it's as good as any Fender custom I've ever seen. I hope they got it in stock and they wrap them carefully you don't want any damage done. Just look at that the finish on it its perfect I've never seen such an attractive guitar MUST HAVE IT NOW. :lol:
Chris "Air Bagpipes" you would have to be a right windbag to play those. :lol:
And a 1-2-3-4.
is it me or do I see a scratch on that guitar?
I think air stand up bass has to be the pinacle of air playing.
LMAO.
Chris "Air Bagpipes" you would have to be a right windbag to play those. :lol:

about one year ago I stumbled on a site.
it was a world air guitar competition.
it was heldin Australia and I think Europe.
great pictures of some serious air players.
I "ll do a search and see what I can find.
ya. this is the site. it's a USA competition.
Does that mean you could play "G on an air string"?
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Looks like the Finns are doing some serious research on it. This was found on "Newzadaweird."
13:10:04 - 1/29/06
"Researchers for Finland's Helsinki University of Technology's
Air Guitar Project recently demonstrated software that allows a
player's finger movements along the imaginary instrument to be set
to music from a library of guitar sounds. According to a November
New Scientist report, the virtual guitar hero wears special gloves,
allowing his gestures to be tracked by camera. Researcher Aki
Kanerva expects players even to develop a distinct air guitar style."

"And the sustain; just listen to it!" :lol:
I gotta find out where in Maine they are, and maybe see if I can get a factory tour. Maybe they're hiring. 8)
