  • Aimed at the tween market

    tween market

    tween

  • Not a bad idea for beginner guitarist. teaches them how to make chords (unlike the one finger GH). Even veteran guitarist could learn new chords other than the basic 4 or 5 most guitar players use. Computer analyzes sound (like a tuner) to determine that you played each note or chord right. Wonder how much JUST the software will be so I could hook up my Jackson KE-2 and maybe get my son more interested in learning

  • Was this a hoax or is it comming any time soon?

  • where can i download this :D

  • Gameplay in this disney shit is sooo fuckin boring..

  • hay but guitar hero picks up a good feeling for those who cant rock.

  • finally! they have a usefull game! maybe fat asses will learn real guitar. real guitar picks up chicks anyway. guitar hero doesnt.

  • I am so going to buy this, I tryed playing the guitar but got bored, and I love guitar hero, so now I can learn while I play, seriously are people that fucking retarded that they can't understand why this is usefull with the above scenerio that I layed out.

  • For 200 dollars you can just buy yourself an ACTUAL guitar and learn from scratch like everyone else does. Ok, after you buy this you learn how to play the guitar, etc. You're still gonna have to drop another 200+ on a real guitar. So why not just buy an acoustic, and learn how to play like the rest.

  • @wWdirtysanchezMm the guitar works as a normal guitar as well, but i still partially agree as this may teach you how to play select songs, but it wont give you ear training, teach you music theory or show you how to improvise. And if they've built features into it that incorporate those aspects, well i never though id say this, but well done disney.

  • its on a OLD ass think pad

  • Guitar hero ie WAY BETTER

  • eventruly ur gonna hav 2 get a real guitar.......

  • Looks Dumb

  • That's pretty creative. I play guitar and know a huge amount of songs including solos. Imagine doing dragonforce lol!

  • this seems odd... if you know how to play guitar, then why play a game SO identical to what your doing when you just play guitar

  • and... i do not see how it will be any more realistic unless you can have every single frett in the game, which i doubt will be possible, atleast very confusing. and this will definently remove all individualism from a song, cause you cant "experiment" on a solo and stuff

  • It helps you learn. Makes it fun.

  • if you do anything with a guitar it helps you learn... i think you would learn it much quicker by simply picking up a guitar and looking at som learning stuff, then playing whenever youre bored...

  • seems like a neat idea but is this made by disney the jonas brother disney

    if so screw this game

  • WiReD...How do you do those effects on your videos?

  • he's a professional my friend..

  • Hahaha sorry, I didn't know WiReD before.

  • PD: that game will never have as fanatics as guitar hero, because childres prefers to lost in a videogame that do something real.

  • HAHAHA you're totally right

  • guitar hero made that childer be Scared of a realguitar. they think a real gutar is the harder thing in the world. they are wrong. the same tame that take learn play expert in gh u need to have a very good real guitar lvl

  • LOL!

    "What do you have after getting to Expert in Guitar Hero?"

    "No friends? haha"

    "Yeah no life".

    I could smack him in the face. just because you play Guitar hero it doesn't automatically equals to No life or friends. Seriously! F-ing snobs. I'm aware that playing a real guitar, is a lot more beneficial. But just because you can play a guitar it doesn't automatically means friends and a kick-ass life either. A lot can play guitar, and never makes a carrier Ever!

  • Exactly! Ah, how I hate people who bash people for doing something that they don't do :@

  • yea GH is a videogame, ofcorse you dont have "anything" by playing it, and like in any other video game, you dont have anything by completing it and being good at it. people should really realise that GH is a game and it doesnt really have anything to do with playing a guitar,

  • dont hate dude its just a joke you dont have to get tensed up over it im just waiting for when the hackers make custum tracks

  • No it was not a joke.

    They are being serious because they are retards who doesn't know a single thing about the gaming community.

  • and do you know that for a fact that they dont play games besides it was the announcer who said the stuff the guitarist just went along with it

  • it was the guitar-player that started by saying "what do you have if you beat guitar hero on expert"

  • GH is ofr having fun and feel like you are being in a real concert , if you wanna play real guitar...go and take some classes noob

  • This game is also for fun, you friggin' dumbshit.

  • Dude what's the point? Get a REAL guitar!!!!!!!!

  • You will have to to play this game.

  • Some company's in the middle of making a game like this, but not Disney, it has real music >.>

    It's called Guitar Rising, look it up.

  • when this comes out im going to be making a LOT of customs

    METALLICA ANYONE?

    finally a game i can beat most of the population at

  • pointness. buy a guitar. get lessons.

  • You will have to buy a guitar to play this. And not just people who don't already know how to play guitar will be playing this. Geez, you're incredibly stupid you know.

  • imagine TTFATF on this :P

  • most people play guitar hero and real guitar. these people are retarded.

  • "...no life"

    Jerk.

    I play Guitar Hero AND Real Guitar.

  • when exactly is this game coming out

  • to bad this game is gonna have the worst songs

  • if its on pc, custom songs will be easy :)

  • I hate noobs. Seriously I do. I'm not saying Guitar Hero is near as difficult as the electric or even acoustic guitar, not by a long shot. I do know it can be difficult, though. Many people who play guitar can't do Guitar Hero on Expert, and the same goes that people who can play Guitar Hero on Expert usually can't play guitar. Calling them "button-pushing rockstar wannabes" is very stereotypical and ignorant. If you want to make fun of Guitar Hero players, go to another website.

  • loser.

  • yea realy I agree but I play both Gh on Expert and real guitar preaty good

  • Very agree

  • playing gh and playing real guitar are totally 2 different things. and for real guitarists its hard to try and "play" the song with frigging 6 buttons when in real guitar you have fking tons of places where to press for the right sounds and shit

  • XtraLargeRock, would you possibly consider shutting up? Or atleast put all your nonsense in one comment so there's just on to ignore for the rest of us.

  • check out piano wizard

  • go to all comments for mine to make sense

  • I admit this would be a good game, if it actually took some skill to play. Hitting one chord every ten seconds is beyond pointless. guitar hero at least takes coordination and speed to play.

  • Why Disney?

  • tell people what you did pls.

  • dont care play gh rb and real guitar

  • i've told my brother we should invent a gh game like this, or that a newer gh would have strings

    oh well, DISNEY (lol) beat me to it

  • it sounds like a cool idea, in theory, but since "it's aimed toward the tween market", what kind of crap songs are going to be on it? if hannah montana is even RUMORED to be on it, I'm not buying.

  • It would be neat if they actually incorporated this with the 360, and have extra songs you can download and learn how to play, besides songs that come along with it.

  • it's not necessarily supposed to be "fun" per-say, but more of a teaching method for kids who are already used the concept of matching a button/chord/string with a color and strumming when it comes across a bar. They just capitalized on this idea and are applying it to the real world. I like this idea

  • and that is why it will sell. it's basically a high tech guitar teacher book

  • Where on earth did you get that idea?

  • from all of the idiots posting on guitar hero videos telling them to learn to play a real instrument, even though most of the players do know how to play instruments.

  • 2:36

    Finally, someone agrees with me.

  • yeah...

    no friends xD

  • lol

  • erm, i play guitar hero and have friends (i hope lmao)

    i also play real guitar, so i'm the real bridge

    lol

  • Lol, I don't agree with the having no friends part, It's just that I can't stand people that waste so much time on it when spending the same amount of time on a real guitar could make you better than a lot of people think.

    I believe in games that involve doing things that AREN'T possible in real life.

  • he made a big mistake saying that guitar hero players have no friends. that crossed every line drawn

  • Wow, interesting, tho instead of getting that "game" :p you could buy a real guitar and star playing, instead of using this bridge. Nice thought tho, this mght, as the guy said, be what guitar hero/rock band people need to take the leap.

  • jesus just because your good at a video game dosent mean you have no life

  • tracklist please?

  • tracklist = sales projection

  • Guitar Hero>Your Life.

  • Guitar Hero = my life

  • and well... GH is only a game xd

    its not the same :P

  • nopes, lol xd

  • Yea, just like real sex with real women. What an incredible loser you are. Move out of your mommy's basement.

  • wht about solos lol

  • says the 8 year old

  • Well stated.

  • Yay, we've sucked the soul out of everything thing else, and now we've finally found a way to conquer music. Yummy soul delicious.

  • uh, all u guys who think GH is better than an actual guitar is a complete dolt.

  • Can I say i find GH more enjoyable than a real guitar?

  • I play real guitar (jackson RR24m) n i also play guitar hero n im gonna play this one 2.Its all fun

  • patochocho and devin r fuckin losers aha! look whos fuckin talkin NERDS AHAHAHA u seriously think playing guitar hero is better wata bunch of losers who live in there mothers house ahaha now do us all a favor get a life get a girlfriend and if u cant do that go suck on your moms balls

  • you do realize patochocho is on your "side"?

  • fuckins nerd learn to play real guitar fuckings nerda

  • can U play the real guitar

  • I'd really like this.

    When does it come out?

  • summer...he told it in the video lol

  • that luks fun, im great at , video games, and i play guitar

  • pretty impressive

  • Guitar Hero is going down....sad but true

  • thats like the end of guitar hero :p guess that guitar hero is going to have to develop this strings or it will be surely out of the way XD

  • did you see how easy the game looked from the video? guitar hero will live.

  • i just know one thing about this game... AND ITS THAT IM GOING TO BUY IT WHATEVER THE PRICE. thats the best way to start to play a "real guitar" and not smak 5 buttons like guitar hero. Cuz i want to play real guitar but i cant go to lessons so... nothing. and here i could get practice

  • although guitar hero isn't just "smacking buttons", you have a point when you say that you will buy it because you have nowhere to get lessons from. that will probably make this game sell.

  • super geil^^ endlich mal ein gescheiter weg spielerisch gitarre spielen lernen. grandios :D hab nur eine frage: was hat DISNEY damit zu tun ??? O.o?

  • What an awesome idea that I myself have thought of for awhile.

    But why why WHY IS THIS DISNEY-RELATED?!?!?!? Can humanity get any lower than it already is? We have to suffer enough from the existence of these stupid Disney songs, but now people can play them and stuff? All the happiness just left my soul.

  • they should make a REAL guitar game, not with Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, etc.

    it could be like, Fender instead of Washburn, and instead of Disney, it could be Universal or sonething.

  • yeah...

    but i think the players will add something of gnr or something like by gh3...

  • true jajaja muy buenooooo

  • Um...why's the headstock backwards? It's not a lefty guitar. Did Washburn/Disney think it would look cool. And Disney and Washburn are two names I don't trust for anything.

  • It's called a reverse headstock and it's not really uncommon.

  • thats the name of da program i ratter preffer dat then have to play jonas brothers thaks bru imma look for it

  • heh why would you guys buy it if you could download it in summer...

    i have a real guitar so that is not a problem

  • where can i buy it :)

  • LittleBigStar does this and much more. It is freeley available and features real tablature import, multiplayer, and other instruments and much more.

  • This is awesome ! All we need is the platform they seem to have successfully developped, while others have been desperately trying (see LittleBigStar). Obviously the tracklist will be craptastic, but with user-generated songs, like whats Frets on Fire offers today ..? Best game EVER ! Just crack/mod the stuff and I'm more than sold.

  • LAME!!! it will teach you gay little disney songs and cords...they wont have all that remains, disturbed, dragonforce, or any of the other good songs from rock band/guitar hero and if you think it will teach you how to eventualy make your own songs your most likely wrong...no scales or arpeggios...just high school musical and jonas brothers

  • Finally! Someone who understands.

  • that is going to be a SUPER HARD GAME!

  • If only this actually had good music on it...

  • If they have a marketplace with good songs it may be worth it. But my guess is the music is gonna suck cuz the song he was playing was from high school musical

  • I DO have a life! =( anyways this game sounds kewl, fun, and a great way to learn how to play the guitar but

    idk about making this game for the pc/mac. he said he wanted to make a "bridge" between guitar hero and real life guitar but most ppl who played GH own xbox360, ps3, or wii. we're already broke! plus, anything with "Disney" on the title is obviously gonna have hannah montana and the jonas bros. (those guys need to get raped or something) so... f that

  • yes to you sir.

  • tell me about it...

  • Ohhh... A game where I learn...

    Sounds fun!

    200 Bucks! Even Better!

  • this is sweet

  • Guitar Hero = Fisher Price Piano

  • HA!

  • Nice! He just called you people "no life"

  • I am so buying this when it comes out

  • the guy doing the interview was a total asshole. just because i can play a video game and have fun while doing it, instead of trying to learn my 12 major scales, doesn't mean i have no friends.

    this game was a really good idea, but that fucking dickhead ruined the whole thing for me. i never want to see this thing in a store cuz i'll smash it or rip the strings off or something. im just so pissed off. the guy was talking like he was trying to keep in the smoke from a bong hit. what a douchebag.

  • Poor you!

  • Settle down obsessed GH fan.

  • Your a douche. Play GH on Expert, where does that get you? NO WHERE! Play real guitar and where does that get you? It gets you somewhere.

  • it has disney on it it's either junk or crap 200$ 0_o i could buy another 360 with that f learning how to play a guitar

  • Thats a good price. Considering that it comes with a real guitar. Go look at prices for guitars. So, if the disc is $60 then then guitar is $140. Good price for a guitar. You dumbshit

  • Gh does help playing real guitar tough (rythm, strumming, developping left-hand fingers...)

  • whats the percentage of bands that start out and actually become famous and "rock stars", so to speak? because, last time i checked, it was about 3%. now, granted, its probably lower, since the last time i checked that statistic, it was 2006.

    if i ever learn how to play the guitar, it'll be a hobby, just like playing guitar hero is to me now. i do it just for fun. my point is, even if i pay 500 bucks for a guitar, amp, lessons, and all that shit, im still no where. whats to gain from it?

  • Wow, now your just trying to act smart by making up fake percentiges. Hope you feel better about yourself.

  • why don't you look it up smartass. at least i can spell percentages.

  • guitar hero tournaments offer cash prizes. I know of someone who bought their HOUSE with their guitar hero winnings. also, unless everyone commenting like this can play both realtar and guitar hero good, then they are being total hipocrites.

  • Why buy a real guitar... And a computer... And a usb port, and all that. When you can just buy a guitar and an amp? -.-

  • Oof...whats with people suddenly saying rock band and guitar hero are for fags and act like theyve never touched the plastic guitar. Self Consciousness has gotten the best of you?

    Btw sirs of wired nice job finding this whole thing, but it looks like the music gaming era has come to an end. and this toy will be no more than a christmas present that the children will beg there mums for saying they will be guitar heroes.

  • Woah! thats awesome!

  • sounds like both of them weren't good at guitar hero XD

  • Guitar Rising is a lot better than this, I prefer the interface to be Guitar Pro 5(tab) style rather than this. Also Disney songs?!? Come on no decent guitarist who isn't a preteen girl will play those songs. Guitar Rising gives you a plug to use in it instead of the need to buy another guitar. The only software specific guitar I would buy is one of the Line 6 Variax's.

  • Just to add that IMHO these things con never measure the total expressive power of the guitar, and they work best with things with "discrete" notes, such as drums or keyboards. Having said that, this is a great educational and competion tool if it works ok (especially if it can track fast notes:)

  • 2:47 - "No friends"

    Bastard.....not even funny.

  • Kudos for doing this with real instruments. I'm an audio scientist and did some similar experiments while ago with guitar's magnetic out. Latency was not a serious issue; analysis window might be ~10 ms, plus the processing. Our stuff didn't completely work mainly because it is difficult to pinpoint the attack i.e. the beginning of the note, especially with compressed sound and fast tempos. After the attack detection, pitch analysis would follow, which would in turn be affected by vibrato etc.

  • this was a really kool video i had fun watching it i really have to say you guys did a really good job shooting it .

  • THANK YOU no more gay buttons

  • its missing about.. 3 strings?

  • there will prolly be downloads like guitar hero/rock band so I'm sure just because disney in it we wont all bands like jones brothers and stuff.

  • woah I need to check my comment before posting XD

  • i sure hope not.

  • seriously

  • This video makes me want to go play Guitar Hero.

  • Very nicely done :)

  • no pickups on the guitar

  • take that rock band fags

  • Amen

  • Sir Walt's moaning in his grave. Cant you hear it ????

  • i got exicited until i was hearing about the disney part i wanna play motley crue and megadeth not hannah montana and whatever else they listen to

  • word.

  • yeah, just having an affiliation with disney makes it a bad game. stick w/the tv shows disney.

  • By the way, the two guys in this video are total douchebags as well.

    P.S. REALREALREALREAL REAL REAL REAAALLL REALL REEEEEEEEALLLLLLLL RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL REAL REAL REAAAAAALLL REAALLL RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • Niiiice

    the Guitar is pretty kool

    Disney Sponserd

    very nice

  • Excellent idea, but it needs to be rebranded.

  • 5stars for the idea

    1star for disney crap

  • I think there is a program called guitar revolution or something that works with ANY electric guitar since it has an accessory to plug it in your computer just like this one...except its not Disney :)

  • but i dont want to play high school musical songs, besides ppl play guitar hero cuz its fun n easy

  • For the amount of money and time these people put into Guitar hero, they could all become VERY good at a REAL guitar and maybe make some REAL MONEY with their REAL skills at a REAL guitar.

  • With the amount of time you spend on YouTube whining about things, you could be be out solving REAL problems and REALLY not being an asshole, and maybe make some REAL friends as long as you don't tell them that what they do is dumb and that they should do what you want them to. Oh, by the way, I play Guitar Hero and Rock Band and REAL REAL REAL REAL REAL guitar and REEEEEEEEEAAAAALLLL drums.

  • thank god someone gets it.

  • i also agree, i hate bragging and saying how good i am at stuff but i am really good at both so this game was a must look up to me because i have always wanted a game like this and this is just an opening to make a metal version eventually.

    by the way did you know that the best guitar hero player in the world is a phenomenal pianist/ drummer.

  • first of all, you can make money off of guitar hero. I know of a person who bought his HOUSE with his guitar hero winnings. Second, many guitar hero players also play real instruments.

  • Finally, I was why somone wasnt making a game like this, I had hope somone would have made it free like synthesia. Harmonix need to buy this from disney or somthing because.... disney?.. seriously?

  • cool, but disney?
