Rock Band player mods his peripheral into optical guitar |
Ó
If you're interested in following his footsteps, all you gotta do is hook your peripheral up with an LED emitter and the receiver to the strum bar was, then make with the wires to the controller so the guitar registers a strum whenever the light beam between the emitter and receiver is broken. He makes it sound so easy.

I almost really want to try to do this
it is nice though when you can feel what you are strumming instead for just flicking air, cool idea though
So why didn't they put a string there instead of optical? Well done.
it actually isnt that hard. you can get the led and emitter at RS for. its just like changing out a switch
...but I'm kinda' with TPot on this one: it's more like the idea gets you thinking about even better ideas... like putting real strings on a full-size guitar, and embedding infrared sensors not just on the strum, but also on the neck. So that, instead of pressing buttons, you're just sliding down a smooth neck (and/or on top of real strings).
