Download this project!
Download the 26 sprites and 90 scripts of "Virtual Guitar" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This is my attempt at a virtual guitar.
Drag the black dots to place the "Fingers" on different frets.
While dragging, press X to mute the string, and O to leave the string unmuted, but open.
Press space to strum.
All notes were recorded on my guitar. One note at a time
Now, you can select any major OR minor chord, and it will set it for you. Then, flip through variations of the chord with the LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS
**NEW**You now have the option of saving a custom chord. 5/15/11
NOTE: All the chord positions came right out of my head, so if I forgot something, tell me about it.
Please give feedback! If you find a glitch, or have a suggestion, please tell me about it.

This is GREAT! :)
Are you a record real sound?
Wow! This is amazing!
AWESOME! I play guitar too. I'm assuming you recorded every note on the neck :D It must have taken forever.
It didn't take too long, don't forget that notes on the guitar get repeated a lot. :) I ended up having to record 42 notes (I also recorded the six open strings separately because open strings have a slightly different sounds than the same notes in other positions)
(view all replies)very well done
Thank you!
look at my guitar project!!!!
How to play it?
What do you not understand? How to play a real guitar, or how to use this project?
(view all replies)epic
This is a wonderful idea. I love how anybody can learn about notes, sounds and music without having to actually have a teacher or a real guitar. Very cool. What made you come up with this idea? What was your inspiration?
Thanks! I was playing my guitar, and thinking about how bad the scratch midi sound system sounds when it comes to guitar :P so I sat down for 20 minutes and recorded every possible note on my guitar (up to the 12th fret). I suppose my inspiration was this: http://www.chordbook.com/guitarchords.php It's a flash app that does the same thing as mine, but does quite a bit more. But I recommend getting a guitar for anyone who wants to learn guitar, virtual guitar is good but a real guitar is better.
Wow, great work! One of my preservice education students found your project and shared it with our class. Very inspiring to see creative, musical possibilities like this in Scratch! http://t4tspring2011.edublogs.org/2011/02/22/scratch-virtual-guitar/
kind of handy!
love this
too cool.
Really Amazing!!!!!!!
This is really cool! I have just started learning to play the guitar and I think this will help me to learn a lot of the chords.
awesome! You're not a scratcher. Your a super scratcher!
Thanks! :)
this is amazing man nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome
is it supposed to make sound???
I like the picking style myself...but sometimes I like to mix it up with a strum. It might be fun to have the up arrow do a reverse picking style (from sixth string to first) just to add more variations. This is so cool :)
Sweet! I love the chord buttons! One thing I noticed...when I set a chord and then move a note using the mouse, if I use the down-arrow to strum, it seems to move the note back to the original position in the chord. Glitch?
Paddle2see, I've been having a problem. I've added more features and fixed many glitches, but it won't upload. Every time I try, it sends the data, waits for a long time, then says "failed unknown reason". This has been happening ever since I first tried to upload the project. Every once in a while, it successfully uploads, but usually I'm unable to update this project. Do you know why this happens?
(view all replies)SO COOOOL!!!!!!
I think this is pretty cool man!
Thanks, Goatee4!
Nice project, a good addition for other versions would be buttons for 7th, major 7th, diminished, etc. chords. Even if it's just one variation :P
You fave to look at this! (link to project)
For some reason you seem to have switched the traditional fretboard diagram over - the nut is almost always shown on the right hand side of the screen except where chord diagrams are specifically for left-handed players. Anyone who uses this and then buys a book of chord diagrams is going to be VERY confused.
I noticed that too, I assume the project's creator is left handed.
(view all replies)Oops - I meant the nut is traditionally on the LEFT of the image. That way it shows the fretboard in a way that is familiar when you look down upon it when playing.
wow....i dont get it, but it looks cool!!!
thats sad u have to read the instructions
(view all replies)Cool! May be I can learn to play the guitar now;=>

Sweet! Nice username ( me one of the biggest hp fans ever)
I CHALLENGE U TO A SCRATCHOFF!
Sounds cool, but I personally like to make projects that are tools, 'cuz there's a lot of game projects on Scratch anyway...or maybe some sort of AI...
(view all replies)I'm not accepting or anything, but what would the projects be like? Games? Or something else? It would be cool if we had some sort of thing we had to accomplish, then we both made projects about it.
(view all replies)What's that?

I'm sorry, but if you spam any more, I'm going to have to start deleting your comments. Use the forums if you want to advertise, and advertise on projects only if the thing you're advertising is very relevant to the project. Your website is not relevant to virtual guitar, nor is the web browser vote, nor is the stick man that you advertised previously.
Thanks for the chord update! I do play guitar in real life and know a few chords but this helps alot. I can acually sorta use this as a chord guide!
Wow this is great!!!! It must've been a lot of hard work :) and it actually sounds wonderful!
