My wife was kind enough to show me this article about Guitar Rising at Gizmodo, which looks like a great attempt at creating essentially a game based on guitar hero that can actually teach you to play the guitar.

Using my trusty band THAC0, I’d estimate I’ve played through about half of the game on Medium, maybe a little more. I still don’t have [...]
