not sure if i'd want a noteless twang over a click

well when you have a ps3 with 2 games and lots of free time i guess this is all you can do for entertainment

In this video the sting is way to loose, look at the other videos from youtube and you will see that it's quite a well made mod.

so why didn't the dev's just do that in the first place?

I love how people complain all the time about gutiar hero's lack of strings.
IT ISIN'T MEANT TO BE A REAL INSTRUMENT.
FFS, it's a game people. A game. With pretty colors and (decent) music for us to play for a bit as a distraction from real world.
It's not meant to train you on how to properly play a real instrument. It isn't meant to be an exact note-for-note copy of the songs. It isn't made for people who have gone to Berkley who have a 'degree in music' ("You got a degree in baloney!" Farnsworth said) to pick up and instantly be 100% successful at.
IT. IS. A. GAME.

because, if you've ever played real guitar, you know that strings break alot easier than a plastic flipper

Oh my god, I want one! Harmonix or Activision, pay this guy for his patent and release a guitar with a string. I saw the youtube vid this guy posted with him actually strumming it and it is accurate. Plus he gets to use an actual guitar pic. This guys idea could actually make him money. I know at least some third party controller manufacturer from China is going to steal this guys idea. Patent this bro and protect your idea.

is it sad that i can play the actual song on an actual guitar, but i suck at it in the game?

I would hope this string lasts a lot longer than Rock Band's crap strum bar
ErikLindemann @ Feb 2nd 2008 8:13PM
I hate the Rockband guitars so much that I would actually consider this mod.
Bee Hatch @ Feb 3rd 2008 8:03PM
Rockband is so real to start with, this mod just sends it beyond.

Haha. I hope that's sarcasm.

Wow, looks like something's wrong with his guitar.. oh wait. Just a PS3 controller. :P
But seriously, that's really awesome. I hate the Strat's strum-bar, it's garbage, what a great way to combat it!
