i'm awful at this thing.. think my fingers are better suited to a real instrument like guitar hero
;)
This is pretty cool, and sounds surprisingly good. I'm looking forward to future versions as the programmer states he/she intends to add a control for the number of frets. I have pretty small fingers but it's difficult to not make mistakes since the frets are so close together. I'm having fun with it though.

If there was one only who could translate the KORG KAOSSILATOR to the iPhone. That would tilt the iPhone up to the Professional studio level!
Just check this KORG out.
It has a similar touch pad as the iPhone!

BUT... can you make it for left-handed guitarists like myself, Paul McCartney, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and more?

We just need a keyboard(piano) app and something like garageband or ableton live on the iPhone and then we could be iPhone producers.
