This is the best kind of insanity.

Not just a game, Guitar Hero

Using a guitar as an input device is true hacking.

I applaud this exercise in masochism!

Was REALLY hoping this would be a Guitar Hero-like game that used real instruments instead of toys to play.

If you aren't aware of it, check out Rocksmith (2014), it's guitar hero using a real guitar (or bass) that is designed with learning in mind.

There's a newer edition, but the older one is a better experience in my opinion.

The older version with the CDLC patch is even better!

Me too – really surprised he missed the opportunity of making a six-stringed version played with the same guitar he used to build the game.
