No More Plastic Guitars In Guitar Hero?
Posted: February 26th, 2010 | Category: Computers and Technology
Guitar Hero has been around for a while but hasn’t really inspired people that can actually play on a guitar.
The digital guitar isnt quite ready for a major public release yet but when it hits stores not only will it be able to connect with guitar hero without the need of wires, you can plug it into the ipod and rock out to your favourite songs of all time. This is the first and only thing that has been seen so far that will build the relationship that gamers and real guitarists have.
There are so many artists out there who will not give their permissions to put the songs in the game because they want people to play the real thing. Seeing as you can now seemingly do both I am not sure the artists can continue to make excuses.
These guitars never need tuning either because they are digital which means any guitarist can just pick one of these up and start rocking to their favourite tunes and there are so many different modes on this guitar that anything is possible and it can of course be used as a real guitar if you are in a band. Although I wouldn’t go as far as saying this is the future of guitars I would say that it is a huge step forward in the technology and that I would certainly recommend at least trying one out if you ever get the opportunity.
They already do many other digital instruments such as drum kits and they haven’t really kicked off at all, it really remains to be seen if this will kick off a trend and bands will start using these instead of other guitars.
Personally I don’t think it feels the same as owning your own proper guitar and belongs with other electronic instruments like the DJ equipment.
