bout what that art might be. if you lean a guitar against an amplifier and walk away for the entire feedback performance, you wouldn't think of crediting "gibson guitar and fender reverb deluxe amp" for the performance in any seriousness, </blockquote>
</div><br clear="all">I wouldn't be so sweeping. Yes, it sounds silly at first blush but it depends on the specifics of the performance and the intentions of the person setting up the conditions for feedback, doesn't it?<br>
<br>Without going into the boring bits that distinguish guitar pickups let me say that they are not all alike and will feedback differently. If I were taking advantage of such differences to get a specific quality of feedback the "identity" of the guitar becomes relevant.<br>
<br>Likewise, if the feedback performance is, in my mind, ABOUT the relationship between human and instrument (implied by the absence of the human) I have another reason to credit the inanimate objects I used. <br><br>-Neil<br>
