Prepared guitar

"A prepared guitar is a guitar which has had its timbre altered by placing various objects on or between the instrument's strings, including other extended techniques. This practice is sometimes called tabletop guitar, because many prepared guitarists do not hold the instrument in the usual manner, but instead place the guitar on a table in order to manipulate it."

I've only seen stuff like this done for "prepared piano". Interesting in an Adrian Belew (sp?) sort of way.

I wish I could say I understand this

There's a wonderful ethereal element to it, but from a musical standpoint I don't feel as though I can appreciate it for what it is

so basically, its the guitar equivalent of modern art?

yes I am saying that too, although I try to understand it from another view, like film music or some backgrounding of something else, theater or something....elevator music lol
i like it although it has not much to say musically, its like texture
