Here’s something I wanted to see exist. Rather than yet another Guitar Hero clone, this is a guitar emulator… sort of.

Start it up with your USB Guitar Hero controller plugged in (as the only Joystick), and there you go: from guitar hero to guitar poser.

• Strumming causes a note (obviously)
• Pressing a single key gets you regular notes, A, B, D, E and G. Pressing several keys at a time gets you some chords, chosen pretty much at random from the ones available at the freesound project
• The whammy bar controls how quickly notes fade out once you’ve unstrum
• The volume is controlled but how vertical the neck is

Check out those wicked graphics! Seriously though, try it out.

The samples are huge so the ZIP is 27megs: GuitarPoser.zip.
