Its complexity felt more like work than fun. Which is one of the reasons I quickly returned the TimeBender for a full refund (Thanks Guitar Center). And although I don't consider this particular device cheating, I do treasure many of my other devices that are indeed cheating (I'm looking at you Boss SL-20) . As a former stage magician, I have no problem with items that artificially augment reality. Walk the road? I will happily sprint down it. Ready when you are to cover WYWH.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun...but isn't this cheating??? I am old enough (and no it is none of your darn biz how old I am) to remember people saying the guys in Pink Floyd were not musicians, all of their instruments played themselves (not that *I* have ever been that silly). Do you really want to walk down those roads?? Just saying. What you really need to do is get together with me and play "Wish You Were Here". I still remember all the lead lines...have you been practicing the chords? :) Just saying... Emm. Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun…but isn’t this cheating???
