Use a real guitar to play Rock Band 2 AND get punched while doing so!

In fairness, the entire (ridiculously intricate) process leads to the hilarious video you'll find after the break. You see, rather than strum on the strings of his guitar, the punching gloves (punching him, mind you) approximate a strum for him. That means that every time he pushes a note, he gets punched. It's like penance!

Hehe, glad you like it :) It's quite easy to make. I will try to get an English how-to up as soon as possible.

If you want a really simple way to play Rock band with a real guitar here's how,
You go into rock band, put it on mic. Hook up your guitar thru an amp, (have a stomp pedal for added fun), put the mic up to the amp. Then try to match the vocals. Then if your in a solo, you can go ahead hit the stomp pedal and play the song the real way. it's really fun!

that almost defeats the purpose of the whole idea behind rock band -_-

The idea of having fun you mean? :)

I could see this work, in the sense, make a punching bag with contacts on them and you should box in the rithm, that would be very fun and also quite tiresome.
more exercising than wii fit in any fact...

Not only that but he grew a beard and got a little doughy since the last movie I saw him in.

Oh my god I want to play this with Steve Perry! He can play guitar, and I'll punch him!

That's the spirit. I think this will be a hit at the next office party. Punch your boss-band. :)

play dragonforce now, though the guy's arm will probably be bruised like a banana hit with a hammer

I could see this on a punching bag with colored targets. You'd have to know the notes off by heart =P
Everready @ Oct 28th 2009 11:16AM
what do you mean by colored?!?!!??! HMM!?!?
Snappy @ Oct 29th 2009 1:18AM
Is there a difference between Rock Band and GH? I never actually played any of those =P *runs away*

It's nice to see that nerd fashion is pretty much the same around the world.

Bobby Kotick just got an erection. Expect Guitar Hero: Adventures in Boxing in a few months.

Waste of time...

Huh, so *that's* how they play Rock Band in Norway. :?
Props for the 8-bit tie, though. :D
