Transform your PC into a musical instrument with Electric Guitar! for Windows 8

Have you ever wanted to play a virtual guitar on your Windows 8 tablet? You can with Electric Guitar! by Onbeat Limited. The same solution is already available on competing platforms, including Android and iOS. Now Windows users will be able to rock the night hard with some epic sounds. Nod your head with speed as we traverse past the break and see what all the fuss is about.

The neat feature about Electric Guitar! is how it performs as though you're wielding a physical instrument in your hands. Being able to strum just like a real guitar, as well as having the set of chords available on-screen, opens up numerous possibilities. The default setup is on Chorus when the app is fired, but Harmonics and Distortion effects are available to really get creative.

The idea and concept is simple, but the end result can be pretty impressive, especially if you know what you're doing. It's also a bonus that we're starting to see Onbeat Ltd release their apps on Windows platforms.

You can download Electric Guitar! from the Windows Store for $1.99 - reasonable fee for annoying the neighbours in the early morning hours.
