What Shaun said.

...But with fewer question marks. I guess I'm showing my age, but I'd rather just put the album on and play my trusty air guitar. That way the tune sounds the way it's supposed to.

A bit like SongTapper in reverse......

Is it me???

Or is there something extremely wrong looking with a guy (with empty hands) waving his hand excitedly around his groin? I don't mind watching the moderately hot woman doing it of course ;)

I agree ...

... this really needs some sort of pickup for the left hand (or right hand for lefties) to work an "air fret". There's no artistic element to this at all - you could do it just as well by hitting the space bar on a keyboard !

Great idea, but without anything to do with your other hand is it not just a poormans Guitar Hero.

Unless it picks up on your flair somehow which might be retty cool.

Otherwise I'd suggest they add a glove so you can work the fret board by flailing madly with your other hand.
