I've ordered my copy, will let you know my thoughts when I get it. If done right, this could be a game changer in the field of ab initio guitar tuition.

Early reviews are encouraging;

I'm not quite clear how it works but it looks pretty neat.

 

 

The colored blocks are a string:

 

E Red

A Yellow

D Blue

G Orange

B Green

E Purple

 

Then within the box there will be a code as to what you need to do with the note or chord. Surf Hell doesn't really have anything other than a slide but there's a code for bends, hammer/pull-off, trem picking or whatever.

 

Takes a while to get used to it but is pretty well done.

 

Edit: and you're just plugging in the guitar to your console and the console's acting like a very smart tuner. It generally knows when you're playing the C chord it wants, for instance.

Ugh! Doesn't the fact that the timing is WAY off bother anybody?


Likes nails on a chalkboard, rhythmically.

 

Before I saw your post I was thinking "Damn, at least its more like guitar than guitar hero but holy {censored} is that timing bad. The crowd should be booing!!"

 

Did you fast forward to the score...? It seems to rank the playing quite high.... :facepalm:

 

At least the guitar video game will now actually teach people to play the real thing.... :thu:
