Are Musicians Doomed? (Pro Guitarist Reacts) [video]

Brandon Acker, a classical guitar/lute/theorbo player specializing in classical/baroque/renaissance repertoire, checked out what AI could do.

He asked for three compositions and performances from the AI.

1. "I want to hear a beautiful classical guitar piece that sounds like Francisco Tárrega in the key of E minor"

2. "Give ma a baroque lute piece in the style of Visée or Bach"

3. "Make me a baroque song the sounds like Henry Purcell with a countertenor and theorbo"

The results were interesting in both what the AI did well and what it did not do well.
