20:24:26 <lament> stupid bach! i hate him.
20:27:22 <Taaus> Oh?
20:27:59 <lament> yes!
20:28:06 <lament> He's absolutely _impossible_ to play on the guitar.
20:28:27 <Taaus> Well... That really depends on which piece you're trying to play.
20:28:44 <Taaus> I've heard some Bach pieces performed semi-successfully on the guitar ;)
20:29:01 <lament> well
20:29:10 <lament> You'd think the first prelude of the WTC would be easy.
20:29:28 <lament> And it is!
20:29:36 <lament> The first eight measures.
20:29:42 <lament> And then the guitar simply runs out of range.
20:29:55 <Taaus> I wouldn't. It's not. Not even on the piano... It's hell getting it to sound just right :)
20:30:05 <Taaus> Well... Transpose it, then ;)
20:30:28 <lament> but then it won't sound 'just right' whatever i do afterwards :)
20:30:40 <lament> Of course it's not easy.
20:30:45 <lament> Even Gould manages to get it horribly wrong ;)
20:30:50 <Taaus> Hah! Now I'm receiving spam advertising tools to use during a blackout.
20:31:59 <lament> A crowbar, a smoke grenade and a face mask?
20:32:16 <Taaus> Nah... A flashlight of some sort.
20:32:26 <lament> bah.
20:32:40 <lament> that's not very profitable.
20:33:18 <Taaus> Probably not.
20:37:20 <lament> Of course, i won't run out of range on the Chaconne...
20:37:40 <lament> I'd run out of lots of other things, though :)
20:37:52 <Taaus> Hehe.
20:47:14 <lament> And I hate the guitar anyway :(
20:47:39 <Taaus> Well... Play something else, then... Say, the violin :)
20:48:21 <lament> _no_.
20:48:38 <lament> I played the violin in the music school.
20:48:41 <lament> I _hate_ the thing.
20:49:13 <Taaus> Aha.
20:49:21 <lament> Ugly, wretched, horrible, loathsome.
20:49:31 <lament> Perl programmers play it.
20:49:53 <Taaus> Indubitably. And Python programmers as well.
20:50:07 <lament> At best, it sounds like a chainsaw being lowered into a toilet.
20:50:48 <lament> At worst, like a thousand monkeys freezing to death mid-scream

20:51:33 <Taaus> Mmmkay.
20:54:27 <lament> As you see, it's capable of expressing a very wide range of feelings :)
20:55:20 <Taaus> Indeed.
20:58:06 <lament> By the way, john clute rocks.
