Final Project-MakeyMakey Guitar

So for my final project I made a Guitar Hero-esque controller. The Pure Data patch is relatively simple and doesn’t look terribly exciting so its not shown in the below video. The basic idea behind this project is that you can plug in a basic chord progression from a folder full of audio clips of chords, with one chord set to every one of the five “buttons” on the neck of the guitar. With the ground being placed where you would strum a normal guitar you can easily play along with a song that has a relatively simple chord progression for the rhythm. All in all the controller works well and is quite fun to play with, the only real “problem” being the lack of very high quality audio files for the chords.
