Just discovered this little app you could add to your iPhone, which turns it into a guitar simulator of some sort (and giving Line6 a run for the money... ;-D ). Check it out:
I really don't know what I think of this. I have to admit, there's some pretty good thinking behing adapting a guitar to a small screen. Of course it is very limited compared to a guitar, but you can do slides, single string picking, wah-wah, string-bending, etc, etc. And compared to GuitarHero, you actually have to know some guitar/ music to make this thing work. And it's not sounding half-bad on my PC speakers either. As for the entertainment value, I don't know. You won't see me running to the store for a iPhone just for this app. But the nerd in me likes some of the solutions in the app...
So, what do you guys think?
..oh it's true..it's DAMN true

......you really need to ask what I think of this, Chief?
It got the word "shred" in it. What more can you ask for???
"Neoclassical"
iYngwie?
...that would've been a nice supplement to their existing line of "iSuck"
Seriously, I liked the solutions, i.e. how much they've been able to put into a three inch screen. But can you learn to play guitar, improve your guitar skills on it? No, I don't believe so. In fact, the musical content of the app is little. And I don't see the entertainment value, but that's just me.
