The You Rock Guitar You've asked for it over and over again. A Guitar controller that's more realistic, more like a real guitar. Now its here. It's almost not fair to call this device a Guitar, because it is so much more.
First of its kind
The You Rock Guitar is like no other. The You Rock Guitar’s functionality works with more gaming and music devices than any consumer electronic device to date. 1) The You Rock Guitar can interface to Video Game systems such as the Wii™ and is capable of working with the top video games (Guitar Hero and RockBand). 2) The You Rock Guitar can work with music programs on Macintosh™ like Garage Band and any Windows™ PCs music program supporting MIDI. 3) Jam along with your favorite song on your iPod, iPhone, or any MP3 Player, or 4) rock out with a real guitar amp or mixer. And you can do all that with the on-board sounds or those from any MIDI sound source.  | You Rock Guitar |
Multi-touch fretboard - Look Mom, No strings
The You Rock Guitar has a FULL fret board like a guitar, and feels just like it, but unlike a conventional guitar, there are no fretboard strings. The You Rock’s g-stik technology includes the patent pending multi-touch fretboard and is the ONLY Music controller that can be used successfully on both video games and real music. Raised bars on the fretboard give the user the feeling of playing the guitar with strings but unlike a real guitar, the You Rock Guitar never requires tuning…ever.  | G-Stik Multi-Touch Keyboard |
Built-in Sounds & MIDI & USB
The You Rock Guitar provides a robust library of built in sounds; acoustic, electric, rock, jazz, blues, bass guitars plus ethnic, strings, rockin’ leads, synthesizer solos & comps that are truly unique and have sound characteristics unique to just the You Rock Guitar. You will have a great time plugging it in and playing anywhere, anytime.
  
  
Connectivity
Connecting to the You Rock Guitar is easy. There is the obligatory ¼” guitar plug, but the You Rock Guitar doesn’t stop there, it also includes a mini stereo plug for iPod and MP3 players. If you really want to expand the sounds, use the MIDI or USB outputs and plug into your MIDI device or computer and use any sound in the world. Plug your Wiimote into the back of the You Rock Guitar and load up Guitar Hero or Rockband and start jamming, but with a full fret board and notes and wait till you pick across six strings instead of an old toggle switch. Now lets get rockin’!  | You Rock Guitar Interface Panel |
