The Guitar Hero Robot

One day, a friend and I thought it would be cool to make a guitar hero robot like you see on youtube and such. But ours would be a bit different, as I have not seen one that doesn't have any mechanical parts. We just basically extended the wires to the outside of the guitar and then to a board(which is incomplete atm) then it will run to a computer's parallel port. How the bot will see the notes is through a capture card or a camera.


Here are some pics of the on going build.

 

This is a pic of the inside of the guitar, before modification.
