Everything that there is to do with a guitar has been done

There is no more creative things you can do with an electric guitar. So many people have played it with so many creative bands that it's impossible to do anything original with a guitar. You do something, it's been done. I mean think about it...

• Play with your teeth? Hendrix did it.
  
• Set it on fire? Hendrix did it.
  
• Make love to it? Yngwie Malmsteen did it.
  
• Use a violin bow on it? Jimmy Page did it.
  
• Use absolutely dissonant chords? Everyone does it.
  
• Play it while skydiving? That guy in the Monster ballads commercial did it.
  
• Use a Frippertronic machine to create infinite sustain? Robert Fripp did it.
  

No one's ever...

• Recorded an entire song just using feedback and natural harmonics
- a la Tom Dissonance
• Snowboarded down Mt. McKinley on one
• Used it to dig a hole to China
• Beat the band's drummer into submission whenever he runs the tempo too high
- a la Tom Dissonance
• Played without strings and just used an array of tuning forks on single-coil pickups
• Built a freakin' tremolo that isn't a pain in the ass to tune!!!

WTG Tom Dissonance! I'm officially humbled...Still working on the rest tho...

Ælien - most of your ideas were excellent, but as one of my specialities is pedantry, I have to say that natural harmonics and feedback were handled on Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. There are no high-profile recorded incidents of drummer-bludgeoning uses of the guitar, though I must say it happened to me when I drummed for Chester punks the Wayriders. Damn you...

How about playing a new and interesting piece of music with it? That is, after all the primary function of a guitar, and your new and interesting piece of music would *not* be something that had been done before...
