Laser guitar attachment teaches you songs from your favorite audio files

maestro.jpgAttention guitar heroes: your path to becoming a real guitar player may be on the way. Strap this Maestro contraption onto any guitar, load a music file of the song you'd like to learn into it, and using laser lights, it points out the frets you need to hit to play that song. Wow, guitar tech marches on.

Let's face it. If you don't have any talent, you're probably not going to be a very good guitar player, no matter how many lasers you bring into the equation. Unless this Maestro design concept can also strum the strings, finger the frets, inject your soul with sweet rock and roll, and shoot you full of rhythm and blues, it might not do much good.

Even so, if this seemingly miraculous machine is ever actually manufactured, it might give real guitar players a quick way to build up a new repertoire. Times are tough, and this invention could come in handy if you suddenly find yourself playing on street corners because your day gig fell through. Hmm.

How much will it be ?
God...please develop it.
Make it controllable with feet.
So we can play it real fast and easier!

That would be even cooler if they come up with some sort of foot-operated control device.

This sounds good for guitar players. It would be great if a way was provided to quickly change the songs, and slow them down to aid learning and offer a bit of a light show.

pile of crap, just learn to play guitar and if you want to learn a song then get the tablature or try figure it out by ear, thats the fun and beauty of playing the guitar and never mind all the computer and guitar aid crap.

Riff-machine,it's easier for some of us to have the lights and stuff right on the guitar,I hate having to keep looking at the tabs and losing my place on the tab sheets.
