I love the suggestion you would use it for bending or vibrato, two things any self respecting guitarist should be able to do and want to do manually.

While I do see your point. I still think it's very cool that he was able to use the wii controller for something outside its intended purpose.
Though I've always been interested in hardware hacking so maybe it's just me :p
Thanks for posting it anyways, I think it was really interesting; good or bad.

I'm not denying the innovation and the technology involved.

However I think it looks fairly retarded in action.

Cool idea, looks stupid.

He's doing nothing that can't be done with his whammy's foot pedal surely?

EDIT: ok i was wrong - this vid explains more. Pretty sweet:

i like the fact your guitar follows body movements like that, makes it more fun than stomping pedals and sitting on the ground twitching knobs, that's cool too, but then you can't really physically rock out, this way you can just go nuts ... really cool.


also, what an amazing drummer ! :roll: :lol:
