Using a MIDI guitar pickup to create 90s alt rock on a 90s synthesiser workstation
For some reason, there are a lot of guitar sound presets on the Yamaha #EX5 (a #synthesiser keyboard workstation from the late 90s). So why not use a MIDI guitar #hexaphonic pickup like the Fishman Triple Play connect to create 90s alt rock using these sounds? Sounds like in "interesting" idea...
In this video, I try to show some typical guitar moves like strumming, picking, bending and sliding and how the controller translates them to MIDI. Spoiler: it works quite well, but bends and slides have to be articulated precisely (I'm not a good enough guitar player).

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
