Turning your G.H. Guitar into a musical instrument
[posted by Grim* ]

If you're looking to make better use of your Guitar Hero controller or are in serious need of a time wasting project, The Guitar Zeros have a solution. You've probably heard about the controller-wielding band before, but if not, a video showcasing one of their performances can be found here.

The band was nice enough to put up a guide showing exactly how they went about making their Guitar Hero controllers behave like musical instruments.

While the guide has been out for a while, The Guitar Zeros just recently released their custom "FRETBUZZ" software. So, if you have a PC (or a Mac if you feel particularly lucky), an X-Plorer or a PS2 Guitar Hero controller (requires USB adapter), and some free time, you too can earn extra geek points by pimping out your controller. The best part? No modding is required -- it's all done using software.
