iShred

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?

...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.
