Guitar Wizard coming for Mac
The guys and gals over at our sister blog Engadget were keeping busy at the recent CES and have turned up some interesting products with a Mac angle. In the video above they're checking out a new music instruction software package called Guitar Wizard which works a lot like the Guitar Hero game (our coverage). The key difference is that Guitar Wizard uses a real guitar and actually teaches you something about playing. The kit consists of the software and a midi pickup which can be attached to your own guitar for $150, or you can get a kit that includes a guitar as well for $300. New songs will be downloadable at 99 cents each.

I anyone else surprised that a real electric guitar is so cheap
?
It's probably a guitar hero controller modded with strings instead of buttons.
or not far off, anyway :-)
Will this be Color-Blind friendly?

Ok, maybe on my POS Squire, but come on, its just a friggin Squire.
This is really interesting, especially for me who is actually trying to pick up real guitar skills instead of guitar hero skills.

O yeah, I went there.
Anybody else think that was perhaps the WORST camera work they've ever seen? Come on pops, just hold the camera still while you're shooting the kiddies. Or better yet, plan your shots BEFORE you start shooting!!!
Cool product, though.
i like the whole 99 cent per song thing ... if its itunes, some dance dance revolution pad or this thing here.... i think songs that let you learn or have fun because you have a dance platform are even worth more then "just" a song download, .... i like the whole idea :D
i realized that singstar offers the same thing now, not just the DVDs but online shop system .... its just cool to get what you want whenever you want it whereever you need it.
