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;

PAL and NTSC are old analogue tv standards and only apply to old analogue tv sets.

 

If you have a fairly recent tv with HDMI or Component input, you're good to go.

Got it yesterday. Am totally loving it. At 46 yo... got me to pickup my two guitars that have been untouched for 3 years... and am going to finally actually learn to play. Totally jazzed... best $80 I've ever spent.

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


Likes nails on a chalkboard, rhythmically.

 

 

His screen correction isn't set properly, that's why it's doing that. If that's not tweaked, you'll get that crappy delay.

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.

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:
