GuitarBots

GuitarBots makes it fun, addictive and motivating to play the guitar. Played directly in the browser, it uses the built-in mic of either PC or Mac. Guitarbots listen to what users play on their REAL guitar and gives instant feedback. The game currently has over 300 levels that are suitable for guitarists of any skill level, from complete beginners to hard-core shredders. It can be played for free at www.guitarbots.com

Playing the guitar is a great hobby! Unfortunately, up to 85% of people that learn to play a music instrument quit, before they reach a reasonable level. Why? Because in the beginning, the exercises are rather boring. This is why Ovelin developed WildChords, an iPad game that gets people hooked on practicing guitar. It is played with a real acoustic or electric (non-distorted) guitar, and you don’t need any additional equipment.
