Guitarist: Turn your iPhone into a virtual guitar
With the way things are going, it seems that MooTheCow is intent on turning the Apple iPhone into a one-man band. The developer's recently announced the release of Guitarist, a homebrew application that allows you to handle your iPhone or iPod Touch like a real guitar.Guitarist demo, iPhone virtual guitar demo video
As you can see from the video there is no problem in playing an improvised version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to heaven".
Here are the other features Guitarist currently carries:
- Unique "hammer-on" metaphor simplifies solo playing by removing the need to independently fret and pick a string.
- A complete guitar fretboard (including open strings) to the 15th fret.
- Multi-touch. Up to 5 strings can be played at once.
- Each note is a separately recorded sample, for maximum quality.
- Animated strings press down at your touch for visual feedback.
- Acoustic guitar patch included, with more options available in a later release.
- On-screen keyboard navigation allows you to easily move up and down the fretboard.
- Left handed stringing option.
- Various guitar tunings available with more to follow.
- Future updates will see a rhythm-guitar backing chord sequencer, electric guitars, more tuning options, and the ability to record and playback your tunes.
