If you are a parent who has purchased Guitar Hero or Rock Band, or something similar, for your gaming system then you may or may not be happy to know there is soon to be available a new guitar for the game where the guitar looks and feels like a real guitar, rather than a plastic game attachment.

First Pro Point: It is always in tune. Your child can learn to play the instrument and does not have to worry about tuning it, and you can listen to music that is not off key. It cannot do anything about wrong notes, but at least the wrong notes will be in tune.
