This is a REAL guitar and you need to play REAL strings.

It combines guitar hero style gameplay but on a REAL guitar, real song tabs.


This is what we should be getting, not the lame ass Guitar Hero lame crap.


At least this new game RESPECTS what a real guitar stands for.


Those who spent time playing this sort of game would really learn how to play a real song on a real instrument.


I respect the game developers who developed this because this means they have to apply some advanced signal processing algorithms in REAL time to detect the note/pitch you picked on the guitar to match their tab database.

This is much more challenging to program than the cheesy assed guitar hero game that anyone could code up in less than a week.

No way, if you already have a guitar you just need the software.

Basically, it works like your typical Computer based tuner, right through the mic-in port.
You can get a jack convertor from big to small for only a few ringgit.

It's expensive only if you don't already have an electric guitar.

I think if one wants to play games like these it means they are interested in guitars and would invest in a real guitar anyway, even if it's a cheap one, and they don't need to buy a tuner since I believe it would be easy to implement one in the game.
