Homemade "Frets on Fire" guitar

[2Dtehelitehnewb]

u dont need to do that, just use a Guitar Hero 2 X-Plorer wired guitar :D

[James2011Marine117]

Are you good though?

[VAGELIS199]

how to create ?? from wood but the system?

[NatWolff43567890]

awesome

[Takato142]

Now to make a Dean Razorback style controller.. :3

[HidoiKamm]

I wanna :'D

[Nirklas]

Thats pretty pro indeed. But man, you need to gain some weight, you're like a living jack skellington. Anyways, great job!

[TheSteamhackr]

Genius!

[Sword7722]

[TheOutsider04]

[JuanMMM13]

[itsmalachor]

But... will it blend?

[Pudim000BR]

0:08 - 0:15 !!!!!

[izisvi]

sweet guitar. Terrible chart. Every single one of those notes was hammered on from an open note, chart doesn't seem to care :/

[xMole17x]

@izisvi This could be a lower difficulty chart of the song.

[davide94x]

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *___*

i'm trying to make it :P thank you man!!!!!!!

[ruellan2003]

AWESOME

[jayda2008p]

can you send me one through mail

[autotitslinger]

Guitar Hero stole this idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)::(

[MisterEffectDenis]

I bet u played guitar before playing this game,am I right?

[ASickMind]

@MisterEffectDenis You're right, I played the guitar for a couple of years even before the first Guitar Hero came out.

And I'm still playing the real guitar, while I lost my interest for those music games.

[SilverSinspawn]

LONG FINGER IS LONG.

[ASickMind]

@SilverSinspawn Yes it is. My pinky finger has the same length as my girlfriend's middle finger.

[Gl4nG3R]

@ASickMind u must make her VERY happy ;) wink wink*

[Gnampf77]

nice!a BC Witch Warlock^^

[brenois2hot4u]

did you use a stencil for the ibanez logo?

[DIDx1xTAKExYOURxSEAT]

not being mean or anything but you have long fingers! O.o

[VAGELIS199]

amazing guitar!!!

[chvyrdnckb]

Its a lot more rewarding when you know you've put out the effort to build something like that. good job man. :D

[JosephTheMetalKid]

I like the song.

Have been enjoying it for 2 years!

Good work.

[Norwegian274]

awsome ^^ nice Ibanez i'm getting Ibanez370dx 14 of december :D

[GigantDragon]

Thst insane! good job

guys stop telling him he should play a real guitar. If you play play counterstrike i could also say take a real gun and shoot everyone.

[0Zcrow]

lol, Doyle from The Misfits made he s own guitar too.

[kfknfvkd]

OMG ! great idea !! :D i am gonna make this :D

[sunyken]

hoooooooow cooool! xD yeehaw!

[devtwenty]

that is epic how did u make that

[aza123453]

tht is amazin wish i could make 1 4 frets on fire

[SinoMorior]

should I wait to tell you you can use RB/GH guitars for it?

[ASickMind]

@SinoMorior

Yes I know, but isn't it just much more fun to make your own guitar?

[SinoMorior]

@ASickMind True, I apologize for the tone I took. I wanna do something like this but for a drumset. Looks like a fun project. Can I ask what materials you used?

[ASickMind]

@SinoMorior

I considered doing a drumset as well, but I didn´t. Other things came along.

Any way, it is completely made out of wood. Except from the buttons and wires obviously. The buttons are push-buttons from an electr. store.

[SinoMorior]

@ASickMind I have a guitar I really like but again, this thing is really cool. What do you think I should use if I wanna make a drumset?

[bloodernax]

Hey you Muther Fucker i said make me one now! XD

[MrBOSNASARAJEVO]

make 1 for me

[wouterpw]

cool project±D

thanks for the quick answer,

i´m from holland and I am 14 but I can understand your explanation good

so, if I understand good I have to buy push buttons in an electric shop is there a special mark or size i have to buy.. or can you tell me wich buttons you bought?

and then I connect them with normal electric wires to the chip

and if I'm right I have to connect the wires tho the spot from the good letter

but how do I find out on wich please i have to connenct

Wouter

[ASickMind]

@wouterpw

Yes you are right.

For the push-buttons you should just buy the size that feels best to you.

I can not say which size is best, you should try and feel which size is best.

My tutorial describes how to find the two connectors on the chip to use.

Good luck!

[wouterpw]

@ASickMind

Thanks for helping, i've made one! and it all works... it's not so good as yours but I'm very happy with the end result. I didn't buy push buttons but I've build the keyboard in the guitar and it al works. but the buttons are nog high on te neck from the guitar like yours but close at the body because the key was not so long.

I am making a video now and i will send the link to you

Wouter

[wouterpw]

Nice man,

I have read your tutorial 100 timis but i have still one question...

how are the buttons wired?

Wouter

[ASickMind]

@wouterpw

The buttons are wired in serie with the two connection points who need te be connected.

I don't realy know which part you don't understand so I'll hope this answer helps you.

Quite some people misunderstand the buttons. Some people think you can re-use the keyboard keys, but you can not. You have to buy push-buttons in an electrical store. These buttons have two pins who need to be connected to the chip. One pin to one connector on the chip. And the other pin to the other connector.

[OverRule1]

I use my guitar hero xplorer guitar but when I alt strum really fast it misses every other note. Both down and up strums work, it's just that I can't do it really fast or it misses. It works fine when I play guitar hero though but I can't figure out what's wrong.

[mogoya]

lol guitar hero...

[Syn94]

@mogoya Lol, pointless comments...

[bloodernax]

Make me one now!!

[bloodernax]

Make me one now please make me one now!

[Lumidian]

[DennChooch]

[losertech7]

[joseph1996ng]

FoF tends to run betting in Linux, i think we could connect FoF to a guitar hero controller and do some tweening...but good job, like it!!

[RodriTheHedgehog]

Awesome!

[Jeryoung79]

pretty good man !!

[MrBlobChob]

lol guitar hero, ibanez ruless

[icqrulez]

[nynedee9]

I've got FoF setup and ready to go but the lag is HORRIBLE!!! Know of any thing I can do?

[ASickMind]

@nynedee9 I don''t know what you should do. Perhaps you used a wireless keyboard. They tend to lag more.

[bloodernax]

@nynedee9 put on max fps on min screen ress and low quality it will work i lagg like hell to but i did all this and laggs less

[jokmania]

can you make a tutorial video or put mor fotos on the toturial??

[tony46304]

im not worthy but. If you could let me know how you did this that would be great i have like 5 extra keyboards i need to do this also do you run linux or windows for fof

[ASickMind]

Well, read the description if you would like to know how I did this.

And I just used windows for FoF.

[Alteredinside]

This is really cool, but you can just use a Guitar Hero guitar. Why do the work? Its really cool though.

[Schwabbel1111]

OH MY GOODNESS.

[Ozamatheus]

GOD of INJAMBRATION

[BleedMyMind]

@svnewsentertainment read the description

[ASHL3YT]

i thought this was a piss take lol! nice work

[kuru2k9]

what did you use for the strumbar?

[guitar4madnes]

how madwe taht awsome!!!!!!!!

[zlac]

great work, I'm also planing to make one. :)

did you use F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 or did you use the buttons that don't "collide"? I cant have F1 F2 and F3 pressed together...:-/

[ASickMind]

Yes, I used F1 F2 F3 F4 F5.

But you could change that to buttons that don´t collide, if the controlls of the program you are using are changeable.

Sounds like a good idea

[nintilink]

what is song? otherwise good video =)

[ASickMind]

It´s my song.

It´s in the discription.

[paulcantiller]

cool!!!

[cocoman710]

[djguguful]

Lol nice, respect

[realgdrummer]

[MrFullfate]

I do not remember the name of the below but this fact with a door hinge

[LeroIas]

Ah... computer nerds at their finest! Good job dude, lol..

[elqueseam]

dude, I liked the tutorial... but I think you should make it a little more detailed. i mean, i have an old keyboard, and a carton board box i could make the guitar shape but.... i would love it if you were more specific in the process, a step by step tutorial. and the materials you used. please.

=)

[Pala16123z0r]

Nice made dude :O. Im pretty sure PC-Version of the game's guitar doesn't even work on Frets.. only yours... muhahaha, make copies and sell them xD

[Honorsucks]

This joked is on medium.... give your guitar to a pro, honestly l2shread almost 60 % of the songs posted are expert only for a reason :) all teh noobs go back to gh2 with ur sloppy acceptions turned on.

[1234wethn67]

wow i gotta give yah props man

[ROGRMAAA]

how can i do mines i want it please

[fay34567]

dude this is the most SICK frets on fire guitar ever man

you rock

[DearSantaclaus]

ur a fking genius :D thats just awesome xD

[metallikaluvr]

Fucking Kick ass bro!!

[thefixitman321]

that pretty sick too bad it isn't usb =P

[ASickMind]

I could have made it an USB.

The only thing is that I then needed a usb keyboard instead, but I only had a non-usb spare keyboard.

[bman4873]

I love this. I just use my Rock Band guitar and FoFiX but that's really creative. Maybe I'll make one someday. Props.

[mikeyboy6969]

FoFiX? i just plug mine in and its plug and play and bam starts working

[angedb]

HOW MUCH I WANT BUY IT

[Huuumanuuure]

you could use a guitar hero controller...

[CrashMaster96]

That's really cool. If FoF become more popular and will be on PS2, Xbox or PS3 I will support that for the official guitar

[Styler1521]

Nope....fof must become popular ...but never be on ps2 , ps3 or xbox.. they have rb and gh

[CrashMaster96]

well, thats true

[TriciaCrafts]

They'll bring back 'old school' nintendo and make it for that, and make that controller!!!!!!!!!!.....

[Honorsucks]

8 bit guitar hero? yeah, that's lots of fun rite... how could you even do that? it would be terrible.

[TriciaCrafts]

I know, that was the joke.....

[Ice4Cube7]

nice one

[samumaster]

epic strum bar

[yeahrightdudecomeon]

boney skeleton boy likes FoF doesnt he?

[Christiandavid1990]

[asaauto]

[NissanDrifter127]

[jason0300]

[q3mk]

[1Suomi1master]

[chickenfried1returns]

[reubyjay25]

This thing is awusome

[xXYayCindyXx]

[kababert]

please give me a download link to the FOF version of Hierarchy...im referring to the simfile...the tune is so catchy... ^^ and i wanna try it on FOF...

[ASickMind]

I'm sorry to say that I lost that file.

But you could still download a mp3 file of it in my website.

[GrifSam]

nice ibanez lol!!!!

[iiznotknowinnoname]

thats really awsome

[rspyda]

Whats with all the negative comments?? This is great, well done mate !!

[kusmenklote187]

so, where is the guitar?

i only see a little kid playing with his toys

[neviremiew]

Dude, you should try playing real guitar

Also, eat a sandwich or something you look really frail.....lol

[Zaclikesmath]

Actually with guitarfreaks. Isn't possible that some people find these games more fun than actually playing guitar?

[kichermann]

they didnt start with guitar hero.. they started with those japan guitar games

[guitarshr3der]

dammit, why didnt i think of that? lol

[ASickMind]

Well, I do actualy play the real guitar, and I totaly agree that playing the real guitar is much more fun then playing such games. I started playing the guitar years before Guitar Hero was born.

And I also agree that it looks like that I should eat more, but eating somehow doens't work. I don't gain weight.

[guitarshr3der]

man your too nice i cant say something mean like i did before, sry about that, just get like a bag of chips all the time but burn it off into muscle, and eat more at breakfast dinner and all, then in between all those meals have some milk and a protein bar, trust me you'll gain weight, just make sure to work off the fat so you dont become obese, have fun.

[guitarshr3der]

and i guess you did do a good job on the guitar, nice work man.

[qwecars]

hey did you make up the song on the game?

[Dark4747]

if you can't open the link you're not missing much the tutorial sucks

[ASickMind]

Well instead of just posting your negative thoughts, you could perhaps give me some advise on what is not good in the tutorial. What should I improve?

That would be way more helpfull then just saying to others that my tutorial sucks.

[kababert]

a positive reply to a negative comment...^^

one way of avoiding internet arguements.. lolz..

and hey, thanx for the idea...i finished my controller last month. ^^

[rottingpig5]

dude can you tell me how to make one? that is freakin awesome!

[ASickMind]

yes I can, in the description is a link to my website where you can find a tutorial

[tomek1995v8]

Nice controller! Do a little bit bigger strum bar and that will be pretty cool

[rutkutusperatus]

Nice guitar&song!

[berts1405]

awesome guitar dude!

i wanna have that to dude!

[Tonatiuth]

Hey, the link is't works anymore, can you fix it?

[jobbe03]

try to youse it on guitar hero:D

[larsulpor]

METALLICA!!!

[j0hnny8oy]

your home made guitar controller is awesome.

why not just use a gh controller? you can get an adaptor for about $6 that lets you use ps2 controllers on your pc. that is how i play FoF.

[thefineardh]

HELP ME !!!!! I CANNOT OPEN THE LINK !!! it say connection interrupted

PLZ help,,,,

I want to make it

[zubzerostuff]
