Like playing the guitar? Wish you could do it anywhere, anytime? Well.. if you own an Android mobile device, you’re in luck.
There is an application called Robotic Guitarist which lets you play a 6-string on your mobile (hurray for Android). Needles to say that this means you can play anywhere; you can even plug it into an amp or a program such as GuitarRig (I’ve tried and it actually sounds somewhat decent).
Of course it doesn’t have all the nuances of a real guitar. Also it lacks a neck (otherwise it would never fit into your pocket). Changing chords is done by pressing one of six buttons on the side that correspond with a certain predefined chord. So if your epic solo has more than six chords, you are out of luck.
Then again, this application isn’t really meant for that kind of work in the first place. It does come with 3 build in instruments you can choose from and also features a guitar tuner and metronome… utterly convenient!
So it’s great for trying out some new melodies, but face it: rocking out on stage on your phone would look pathetic… ..or truely epic and utterly cool in a geeky kind of way!
