What is the iPhone Guitar?

It was not exactly what I expected, and I was really curious… but before anything else… let me say I won’t tell you what it is… you just got to see it for yourself. Check the iPhone guitar video below.

So as you know by now, the iPhone guitar is actually a virtual guitar, it imitates the sound of a real guitar, and because of the iPhone’s touch screen, you can actually fret simple chords or individual notes and with your other hand, pluck or strum the strings.

As a guitar player, to be honest, it would actually be difficult to play an entire song on it, because it would be very difficult to fret, even with simple chords. What makes it difficult to fret is the ratio of the guitar neck width (which in this case is the width of the iPhone) against the width of the individual frets.

The graphics presents you with a view of a guitar neck, frets and strings… but you can only see six frets.

So ok, since we know this thing cannot actually be played.. what use do we have for it?

Well, for those who are interesting in learning guitar, this can be a great way for you to familiarize yourself with chords, what would be interesting is if the developer could come up with an application that would look like guitar tab, which teaches a person how a chord looks, and on what fret every individual finger were to fall.

Other than that, I’d say iPhone guitar is just another cool application to have on your iPhone to impress women or something.

So as far as it being a playable instrument to make music from? The iPhone guitar is crap; as an interesting application, really cool… but as an aid on learning how to play guitar, especially for beginners.. awesome!
