Error message tells me "You need to update your Chrome browser" when I'm running Safari. Would be more helpful to say "You need to use Chrome instead of Safari".
Didn't test beyond that as I don't have a guitar, was just curious to see what it looked like and thought I'd point that out.
If you don't have a guitar, you can use a use a piano (or a virtual piano in the phone) or even sing.
I think it's not clear enough when you hit the note or when you miss it. It has some animation, but it's confusing.
Anyway, I need more lives :( Can I have a sandbox mode where I can try forever?
Neat tool. Would be nice to be able to set tuning as I keep my guitars in Eb.
Also I'll be "that guy": Can we get a tab mode - maybe with an option to display the note as well for us complete amateurs?
I suggest adding an explanation what what the game is about (or fix the "How it works" link)
This is an interesting idea to me. I'm also working on some web music-learning ideas so I thought I would check this out. I have played guitar for about 20 years but found this game to be nearly impossible. Granted, I don't know the fretboard well, I tend to be more of a chord-strummer, tab reader type.
I found that just when I was starting to succeed at hitting a note or two, the game ended. I tried using a lower tempo, but that did not seem to extend the duration of the game.
I also agree somewhat with a previous (controversial, deleted commenter) that the use of "bro" in the title of the game is off-putting. To many, the word bro may not register as negative, but when you live outside of the testosterone-fuelled brotherdom, it sticks out like an unwelcoming red flag.
A suggestion - Option to take out the lives so you can keep playing even if you make mistakes. This would be nice for beginners like me.
Nice idea, a good way to learn the actual notes of the frets, which a lot of gamey guitar apps miss.
BPM settings seem a little odd. Some samples race along at 60 bpm.
Displaying the 12th fret instead of open string makes it unnecessarily difficult.
I'd love to see this grow and improve into a really cool app!
I feel kinda stupid - how is this supposed to work? Microphone input?
(Does it only work in Chrome?)
Cool idea really !
Nice, but a little hard if you don't yet have chords associated by name and I'm missing background music/tempo to keep track.
Personally I'm really fond of the Rocksmith game for learning guitar. It's like Guitar Hero, but with your own real guitar (and interactive lessons). I have no real ambition (or talent) for playing musical instruments, but somehow it lets me enjoy music interactively at my skill level while also giving the gratification of game progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDQ_U3lukAQ
