I just saw an advertisement for this product on television. It is a little plastic pick with a speaker inside of it.

Everyone in that video looks like a dork.

For $20, you can look like a dork too.

Hey, if you buy the two of them, you can strum to four songs.

That's one heckuva deal. Best 20 bucks I've ever not spent.

BETTER than Guitar Hero IMHO. At least you're not playing a plastic 4 button toy!

Wish I still had the cover I designed for Lap Steel Hero. I knew a girl who set the guitar flat on her lap and played it like a lap steel, so I designed cover art to put in her copy of the game.

One of the wittier things I've done in life.

Another plus 1. It is honestly one of the most fun drunken party games out there, along with Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart and GoldenEye. Many good times with Guitar Hero!

I can't wait for Mandolin Hero to come out. I've been rehearsing The Battle of Evermore and Maggie Mae.

I actually think that Guitar Hero is good for young musicians as it helps them to build hand -eye coordination. But wouldn't it be easier to save yourself the 20 bucks and just play air guitar to songs that you like? Sometimes marketing makes me sick...
