  • Wouldn't we be able to see it on the camera recording though...wtf?

  • @TheXog

    We wondered that too. As it turns out a lot of cameras, both video and otherwise, have IR filters on them so that the picture they take looks like what you would have seen in real life and doesn't include the IR component. But, yes, CCD sensors do pick up infrared ordinarily.

  • u can see the light but u have to look at it at a angle though like at 2:30 into the clip ull see it but u have to stop it so u can see it

  • Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that there's the possibility of seeing the beam on the video. The thing is that IR light is invisible to you and I but not to a video or still shot camera. They can see IR light just fine and it shows up as a visible light when they record. Good catch though. I never noticed it before.

  • Saw this just before my strum bar broke, but I can't view the schematic on the ScoreHero page. Could you reupload it somewhere or direct me to a site where you posted more parts/wiring information?

  • I know I'm kinda late to the party, but I just saw this video as well as the forum thread with the schematics and I put something together, but I'm not clear on the input and output sides of the schematic. I was thinking that the input side would just connect directly to the wires for the upstrum sensor, but wouldn't the IR light beam be the end of the circuit? I don' tknow what the "output" side of the schematic would connect to. Also, I am going to be putting this in a "Wired" guitar.

  • Could you make a guide for this and is it possible to do on a Les Paul because that would be very awesome!

  • this guitar have wire but this guitar can be wireless becuz i see at back it have battery place

  • but if your using an infared light how will you know when the bulb burns out? And... an LED would be so fricking cool!!:^)

  • cool =3

  • that is so freakin awesome

  • how did you guys do this.... this mod is bound to be checked out a lot when the new rockband comes out.. hope it it actually works!!!

  • @TheXog there was a red reflection coming off of the mirror behind the light beam
