Saw this post on Guitar Hero at Engadget.
They pan the whole thing a little bit, honestly admitting that the sound of the real guitar verges on that of the 14 year old son everyone hopes to avoid who does nothing but practice Metallica in his room.
I acknowledge this criticism. But for me the really interesting aspect of the Open Chord system is that it takes us one step closer to making gaming a viable form of teaching. Some tweaks to the gaming software, maybe a new game even, and we'd have kids (and adults) learning how to actually play guitar.
Think of the other things this could be used for. No, seriously think of them and let me know.
