Sox 14.3.0 has the pluck synth, 14.2.0 does not.

My guitar has been out of tune for over a year now. Used the script to tune it and jammed for a while. Brings back memories >)

That sure looks much nicer, thanks for posting! However, the sox version I have here doesn't seem to know the pluck synth or the 'E2'-like notation. I'll mention your version, but keep mine for backwards compatibility.

Looked interesting so I read the manpage for play, turns out there is a command in the man page that gives a much better one liner. Uses actual guitar sounds rather than sine waves.

for n in E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4; do play -n synth 4 pluck $n repeat 2; done
