Guitar Hero is a popular guitar simulator game for the PlayStation. You play along to a song by pressing fret buttons on a mini plastic SG guitar while pressing the strum bar. To get points you have to do this in time with scrolling notes on the screen.

Some players, frustrated by the little plastic controller, have and made their own Guitar Hero controllers. Makezine have compiled a list of Guitar Hero projects that you can try out.

If you don't have a PlayStation or the Guitar Hero game, you dont have to miss out. There is a free version for Windows or Linux called Frets On Fire .
