Over 2,000 guitarists will attempt to break the world record for the biggest guitar ensemble today (October 26 2007) at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, India. The stunt is being organised by the Meghalaya Tourism Development Forum as part of their Shillong autumn festival.

This is a cool looking air guitar gadget by Takara Tomy from Japan. The plastic device is the first few frets and headstock of a strat style guitar. It looks like it projects an infrared ray from the end of the neck towards your strumming hand that detects your windmill strumming action.

Air guitars are imaginary instruments. They are conjured from the imagination to allow the listener to play along to a piece of music (generally guitar-based music: I have not seen air guitars used to accompany choral music).
