Guitar Hero, On a Real Guitar, To Hit Shelves In 2009
An anonymous reader writes "The Minneapolis Star Tribune features an article (with photos) about a prototype electric guitar that doubles as a Guitar Hero controller. It is not just another guitar-shaped controller with buttons: it is an actual, playable guitar, shown in-action. The startup company, Zivix, LLC, intends to bring the product to store shelves in 2009. Web searches indicate that the company may have raised around $800K for the venture. The company is also working on technology that enables finger sensing on a real guitar that would allow your computer to teach you how to play chords or evolve into a future guitar synthesizer."
Isn't the point of the game to pretend/act like you can play guitar? I don't want to learn how to actually play guitar. I can barely be bothered with learning the controls.
Just imagine a guitar teaching you how to place your fingers on the strings. A little negative feedback for misplaced fingers maybe? As long as the current is limited, it shouldn't kill anyone. :)
Real guitars are lame
Run and catch, run and catch, the lamb is caught in the blackberry patch.
Obviously, he stopped believin' too early.

I accidently the whole fretlight :-(
If there was a Viola Hero with a real viola, I'd zip out and get one in a moment.
It's a shame you hadn't been learning the sousaphone when you were younger.
Squirrel!
