New Rhythm Game Uses Real Guitar
These guys are just a bit LATE.
I've been using a real guitar with strings and all since Guitar Hero 2. You could say the idea for this new game controller, was taken right out of my build. LOL
Oh, and where's the whammy bar? I don't see one. Oh snap, my guitar has a working whammy bar PWN3D ^_^
" If I can plug my own personal guitars (ESP Viper 400 and a Charvel Model 4) into it... Sold!!! "Most likely your brand hasn't given capability for a game.
If you have the time to play this game and the money to spend on it, then can't use that excuse. In the end you're gonna end learning how to hold the guitar, the pick, proper hand positions, and dealing with out of tuned strings and building calluses on your fingers, with or without this game. These are some of the reasons Guitar Hero and Rock Band are so popular, because the players don't have to deal with any of what I mentioned and they:" @wackojackman said:
People who want to learn guitar on their own, but find learning without any assistance to be impossible and don't have the time and money to take real lessons (i.e. me).

" find learning without any assistance to be impossible and don't have the time and money to take real lessons (i.e. you)."
I might have time to play this game at 10PM or 3AM. No lessons exist at that time. And lessons are very expensive and a reaccuring cost. this is a one time cost and unless it's over $250, should be reasonable for what you're getting." @ChrisTaran said:

" In the end you're gonna end learning how to hold the guitar, the pick, proper hand positions, and dealing with out of tuned strings and building calluses on your fingers, with or without this game." -- None of those things I have a problem with, none of those things are keeping from learning a real guitar. Having to leave my house for lessons however is probably the single largest reason why I do not want to take lessons.
And I'm not sure how you can tell me what I am or am not interested in. I'm interested in this, I have no interest in going somewhere to learn from some overpriced place that I would have to change my work schedule around in order to attend.
I will buy this, you can stick to your thing.
" @Fuzz_Butt said:Well to be honest, I don't take lessons, but really you don't need a game to teach you to play guitar. Like any game, you'll be rewarded for achieving something but isn't learning a few chords, a scale, a riff, maybe even a whole song on your own enough to not need some GUI to reward you for it? About the lessons: alright I understand you don't have time but is there any difference between learning on your own by means of looking up free lessons online (for example) and playing a game that will show you the same things?I might have time to play this game at 10PM or 3AM. No lessons exist at that time.

Whatever floats your boat I guess, but people should reconsider where their money goes and even if you can plug that little guitar into an amp, I bet it will sound like ass.
