MOTM

And to expand on this idea a little further: I plan to tune the
strings on the guitar to an open tuning (say, Open D) and then play a
sequence in the same key through the thing.  I think the acoustic
drone of the strings will add (if I can believe what I'm hearing in my
head) and incredibly interesting background.  I just hope the strings
don't overwhelm the sound from the synth, but we'll see...
