Guitar heros beware, there is a new kid moving into town. Game Tank is far along in the development of “Guitar Rising.” Rising is similar to Guitar Hero & Rock Band in that the players try to play along with the game’s songs in order to score points. Where Rising sets itself apart is that its real.You plug a real guitar in to your computer and play real notes to real songs. Points are awarded based on accuracy, as you would expect. Apparently its as fun as Hero for beginners AND it teaches guitar at the same time.

I have never played Guitar Hero or Rock Band myself, I have to admit, I am excited about Guitar Rising though. I’d love to think I can learn to play like with a method like that.

Anyone else excited about the potential here?
