Frets on Fire is a Guitar Hero clone that is so good that you will turn your keyboard upside down. It's one of many games you can download that were made for the Finnish computer festival, Assembly.

Bah. I want a guitar game that takes an actual electric guitar as input.

I wonder what possessed the game's site designer(s) to use Elvis Costello as their "guitar hero silhouette"?

it didn't take long for DDR clones to inspire USB dance pads, so this could probably happen for guitar controllers, too. holding a keyboard upside down, though it would work in dire must-shred-now situations, just doesn't hold the same appeal as a yamaha keytar.
