Guitar Rising (Guitar Hero with a real guitar!)

[-G]

I'm not really into those Guitar Hero and Rockband games and I figure if you are going to invest the time to learn how to play these fake instruments you may aswell pickup a real guitar and start to shred like Eddie Van Halen. Thats why I like the idea of Guitar Rising. Just plug in any real guitar and you can start learning real songs. Cool concept.

From the companies website:

"Guitar Rising is a music video game where the player plays a real guitar as cued by the game’s visuals. Following rock music sequences and streaming notes, players play guitar melodies and rhythms. Beginner difficulty levels are designed for non-guitar players and hard difficulties will challenge experienced guitarists.

Product to be released in late 2008."

It would be like band practice without the band... sounds awesome.  I will probably get it.

Guitar Rising was recently unveiled at the Independent Game Conference in Austin, Texas. It has already won the Developer’s Choice Award by popular vote, and will hopefully be a hit when it is released in the fall.
