However the fact that there are no stings on the neck, just raised ridges, makes you realize that this is a controller and NOT a guitar. The removable neck snaps solidly in place and can be removed for taveling. You can purchase optional removable headstocks to make it look more like a guitar. However the controller/guitar (you'll see why I put them in that order) has some heft to it which moves it out of the realm of a toy and more into the realm of an instrument. So it arrived the other day and though I have not had time to really play around with it much I thought I'd give some first impressions.įirst off you can see by the graphics on the box and the included stick on decals that the target audience is teen or pre-teen rock video players. The whammy bar on the You Rock also would allow me the bendability of notes that my Yamaha EZ200 keyboard lacks due to no pitch wheel. The price of under $140 sure beat the price of a true midi guitar ($900-$1300) and add on midi pickups ($200+ and either obtrusive if removable or requiring permanent installation on my electric) and as a video controller it can be used as a Guitar Hero or other games on Xbox and PlayStation etc. When I saw the You Rock Guitar midi/game controller mentioned in one of the BIAB/RB forum posts as an alternative to a midi keyboard controller I checked it out on youtube and saw this, among other, videos:

As a song writer, hobbyist with some limited ability on the guitar but a lot less on a midi keyboard, I always wanted an affordable way to translate my guitar based songs to the full orchestration and tweakability possible with midi.
