I'm mostly ignorant of the subject, but it can't be too difficult to do DSP for recognizing chords, right? You can buy a halfway-decent electric guitar for $100. Add $40 for the 1/4" instrument->USB connector. So why not make a "Guitar Hero Expert Edition" for people who actually want to learn guitar and have more fun practicing? And who don't want to be wankers playing with toy guitars. Make it usable as an at-home practice amp too (since all the necessary code would be written already), and you justify the cost of adapter+game immediately. You could even make it compatible with Guitar Hero controllers, so you don't lose the social aspect for friends who don't actually play guitar. Anyway, I'm just rambling. Maybe something like this exists already. Hm. I’m mostly ignorant of the subject, but it can’t be too difficult to do DSP for recognizing chords, right?
