    Easily as cool. This game's goal? Press the button as many times as possible in one minute. That is all.

    This looks like it'd be super-easy to DIY.

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Not to mention a lot cheaper.

    Hell, you could get two nanoPADs for what this costs. Granted it doesn't use arcade buttons or show its guts with transparent acrylic panels, but it doesn't require you to buy your buttons separately, either. Plus you'd have 24 buttons and two trackpads at that point.

    The sucker for aesthetics in me really wants one of these, though.

    I fear if I heard mine that it would sound like some really bad p0rn0 soundtrack.

    Too bad his video does not show how his left hand is playing the "frets" on the neck. Or is the neck non-functional with fake buttons (which are actually as least as interesting as the rest of the device).

    In reply to Crazy Guy Beats Guitar Hero 3 Using Drums
    That he missed some notes made it better. In the beginning he hit every note and I thought that it was just a video of one of those computer glitches when it hits every note, but when he missed a few, it proved it was actually him.

    @MichaelBrazell: I'd like to think he probably would have hit it perfectly if he had inhuman amounts of stamina (and judging from the beginning, he probably would have). I can't believe he managed to do as well as he did, playing that quickly over a course of seven minutes.

    In reply to Crazy Guy Beats Guitar Hero 3 Using Drums

    If you have ever tried to play the guitar using drumsticks, you were probably drinking the same paint thinner as I was drinking, because it's impossible.

    I could swear I've seen a photo of a guitarist with a drumstick. He probably was using it like a violin bow, though.

    @Hyman Decent: No, guitarists use a violin bow like a violin bow. You probably saw something like this:



    Both Lee and Thurston from Sonic Youth are fairly infamous for using drumsticks as a third bridge on their guitars, a lesson gleaned from their years in the New York no-wave scene with Glenn Branca and the like. Efrim from Canuckistan band Godspeed You! Black Emperor also often employs a drumstick for the same purpose.
