Re: Turn your ppc into a guitar

I've been playing with this since it came out. The idea and sound are great. You can really strum the strings and get a guitar sound with minimum lag. It's amazing because you can't hit two notes at a time on a TP to make polyphonic chords.

That's the part I love. The other part is that on a TP, you have to experiment a lot to find stuff. The buttons that work (to set up and make chords play) seem to be the volume levers and the Back button. The chords are a mystery though. You actually can change and play them but I don't know how to get the chords I want. Someone who plays guitar might be able to guess better than I can. (I play banjo, 4 and 5 string, which have different tunings and chord positions.)
Finally, the X button is microscopic. It's in the upper lefthand corner and if you peck around with your stylus, eventually you will hit it and be able to close the app without a soft reset.

Conceptually, it's brilliant though. And it's a work in progress that is worth following if you have any interest in making music on your WM phone.
