Talk:Air guitar

message: I play real guitar and occasionally i find myself air guitaring but i would never do it in front of people. As much as people say the air guitarists have no talent i've gotta say they have guts  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.99.230 (talk) 01:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: About air guitar

message: "An air guitar is an imaginary musical instrument that can be played anywhere at any time, as it doesn't make a sound and is very light to carry around."? I'll say! - Ta bu shi da yu 05:48, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: "Air band sign record deal and record worlds first air guitar band studio session. In 2004, after 3 years of relentless touring that saw them headlining the UK Air guitar championships, conquering Glastonbury & V festivals, culminating in the mother of all food fights, PISS signed a record deal with Brighton based Red Records. The result was a 4 track EP entitled 'Piece of PISS'. Only 500 were pressed and are now prized collectors pieces fetching upwards of £280 on EBay. Shortly afterward the release the label went bankrupt. PISS played their last ever gig at the Motley Crue end of tour party 2005. See This is PISS: The worlds greatest Air Guitar band"
The first sentence seems very... not written by someone familiar with English. It seems very incoherent and I'm going to rempove it unless someone can make sense of it.Phoenix Song 02:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed this text from the article, it's far from encyclopedic, but I'll preserve it here:
*"In Singapore, Chinese student Li Xiaomeng was jumping up and down on his friend’s bed imitating a rock star when he accidentally jumped out of the third storey window to the ground below.
Xiaomeng was taken to hospital immediately, but died the next day from his injuries. Usually the windows were locked, but students sometimes forced them open to smoke ."

message: Should we put in a picture (either blank, of an air guitar, or of someone playing one), or would that be too jovial? Daniel (☎) 17:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it might be hard to find a picture of someone playing an air guitar that captures it - it's all in the motions, I'm not sure a still shot will do justice.  If you've got one, go for it.  I think a blank picture would be a little silly, though... -- stillnotelf is invisible 23:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture? 

message: I challenge this page to find a photograph of not the second best air guitarist, but the best air guitarist, playing air guitar.  That would improve this page significantly.  Original, copyright-free work, it should be.  --DavidShankBone 14:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: How bout citing Bill & Ted's use of the Air Guitar?
Great idea. Heh heh.

message: Information on Air guitar is scarce and I believe that it would be better to unite information on all history, championships and events in one article. I really want to write up history, styles and schools parts, but I don't know where to do it: on "championship" article or "air guitar" article - these two seem to intersect a lot. --GreyCat 14:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "Air Guitar" because it's a broader category.  The championship article wouldn't be the place to discuss general air guitar techniques, etc., but an air guitar championship would fit nicely under the broader Air Guitar article.  --DavidShankBone 19:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the "Guitar Hero" link here supposed to be to the video game of that name, or the whole "Guitar Hero" game series, or what?  What's the connection? I've been cleaning up guitar hero definitions and links, but I don't know what to do with this one.  Rodparkes 04:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Guitar Hero series seems to be a bit more relevant than any specific title in the series. Anyway... the vast majority of the games in the series allow the player to enter a cheat that makes their character use an "Air guitar" when playing a song. That is about the only reference I can think of off hand as to why there would be a link to anything related to "Guitar Hero" on the main article. Hope that makes sense. lightsup55 ( T | C ) 10:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I found no information whatsoever even associating air guitar with the name, so I removed the text.  Apparently it has been removed from the introduction before.  Unless a reliable source is found it should be removed on sight. --TexasDex ★ 04:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on Innovation seems to me to be about something different than air guitar as it is commonly known. Air guitar is a sort of dramatic performance accompanying recorded music. These innovations listed are about actually performing (or at least conducting) the production of music via gestures. I'm not sure what the correct term should be. Perhaps virtual guitar? -- Jake (talk) 05:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Innovation in air guitar or a different topic? 

message: (to be added in a Germany section (competitions etc.) in this article ....)  As always, the Germans take those things very seriously, there are even cultural scientists at the renowned University of Hildesheim ( part of Niedersachsen's state university network and at least geographically not far from Göttingen University ) doing research and writing papers on the cultural aspects of Air Guitarism. Aline Westphal, the 2011 Air Guitar World Champion, has been a graduate of that program, she wrote a master's thesis on the topic. --Ischtiraki (talk) 12:58, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
