Jun 25 2007Air Guitar Pro

air-guitar-pro.jpg

The Air Guitar Pro is a guitar designed for air guitarists that actually plays music. You hold the chord buttons on the fretboard and then strum the air. Infrared sensors in the neck detect the hand motions and it plays the note. If you're not into playing your own music it also comes with preloaded tracks. The final product will ship in July but importer HimeyaShop is taking pre-orders now for about $27. Although actually playing music kind of defeats the purpose of an air guitar. It's like having an imaginary friend who's also a real person. Who wants that!

that's awesome, but isn't air guitar done so that we don't have sound?

27$ for something that's supposed to be quiet, go figure

I have an imaginery girlfriend. Why isn't she real? :( She can play guitar, too.

Can we say guitar hero controller potential? Though you'd have to ignore two of the buttons.

Yes, but they never discuss the loser factor of strumming air to get sound. Why move your hand at all?

It's like making the masturbating motion to quiet your stupid friend and your belt makes a squishy sound.

dibs on the patent on that, Shoppo.

so i actually know how to play guitar. i own 6 of my own and yes i am boasting, because these days talentless little freaks who can't commit to an art have to press plastic buttons and wave their arms in the air for sound.

you want a guitar hero? I AM queens boulevard. i mean, I AM a guitar hero.

I'm agreeing with 6.
I'll stick to my real guitar, thank you very much.

Wow, so you *actually* play a guitar and you own six?! No friggin way. Why did you stop the bragging there? Why don't you tell us all about your kickass room in your mom's basement?

I'm sorry, I didn't know a video game could get your panties in such a bunch. Does anyone playing guitar hero *really* think they're playing a legitimate substitute for a guitar? No, tool. It's called a game. And yes, they are talentless little freaks, but at least they're enjoying themselves.

Football players enjoy EA's Madden NFL, professional racers enjoy playing Gran Turismo, our American soldiers enjoy playing SOCOM, and you've just proven how much of a tool you are.

#8, you need to get the sand out of your vagina. asap!

Just learn to play the guitar, you assholes.

#6: Suck a dick.


Tell Drama he's on the top of my list of things to do today, along with inserting needles in my cock!

This will go down in history, right along side those drum sticks you had to beat against the air as a kid.

Sorry Tom I let your mother do all the sucking already. shame. I'd save some for you too but my cock doesn't like prepubescent girls.

but don't worry baby, in a few years time.... ;)

Shit like this makes me feel really good about being an actual musician...

Well, it's way better than an Esteban.

Dimebag is in guitar heaven right now, crying. Crying because you touch yourself.

Wait! I was going to get an Esteban.

Look, if the dude can play guitar on top of a fridge like magic... then his guitar is the guitar for me! (geico ad...)

And #13, Tommy Lee is going to be real upset about the airsticks not being real drums... almost as much as he was about Pamela not being a real girl...

And for you REAL musicians out there, this is a valid concept! God only know I wish I had an air French Horn instead of the real one I played for years.... I hated placing my hand in the horn's naughty place while my mouth was on it's head.... and an air flute would allow guys to play flute and not get beat up with the flute.

Woodwinds and brass would rock if you didn't have to blow them!

I like cheese.

I weep for the future of our species.

I always wonder what future historians would think about things such as these. A short kid with glasses in the middle of the room raises his hand and goes "so you mean humans evolved, then reversed the process...?"

Perhaps this toy is real, perhaps it's a gimmick, who cares? I only wish I was talented enough to play real instruments, but this? This is an insult to everything, along with things like this. That, and I think people should read better and understand others' sarcasm before making stupid comments.

And remember: Don't drink and drive.
