Play Single Notes or Chords with Ease
There are multiple intuitive ways to play single notes on this Virtual Guitar:
- Interactive Fretboard: Simply click directly on the guitar fretboard. Hear the immediate and precise note, replicating the responsiveness of a physical guitar, even without strumming.
- Piano Keyboard Integration: Utilize the familiar piano keyboard to trigger acoustic guitar sounds. This feature bridges the gap for keyboard players wanting to explore guitar melodies.
- String-Specific Notes: For nuanced control, click on individual strings. This method allows you to play single notes based on the selected fret position, mirroring true guitar playing techniques.
Unleash the full harmonic potential with various methods for playing guitar chords on this virtual guitar simulator:
- Pre-set Chord Buttons: Instantly access all 12 major chords (C, G, F, etc.), 12 minor chords (Cm, Gm, Fm, etc.), and 12 dominant seventh chords (C7, G7, F7, etc.) with dedicated buttons. Perfect for beginners and quick chord progressions.
- Computer Keyboard Shortcuts: Trigger major, minor, and dominant seventh chords directly from your computer keyboard. For example, the Caps Lock key plays F major, and the Tab key plays D minor, streamlining chord playing.
- Fretboard Chord Setting: Manually configure chords by clicking on strings across the fretboard. Once your chord is set, strum the strings with your mouse, click the “STRUM” button, or use the spacebar for a full chord sound.
- Custom Chord Buttons: Create personalized chord buttons by setting a chord on the fretboard and clicking “keep chord”. These custom buttons can be triggered with a mouse click or assigned to specific computer keyboard keys for a tailored playing experience.
- Keyboard Chord Recognition: Indicate a chord on the piano keyboard interface, then click it again to generate a custom chord button. This innovative feature allows you to translate piano chord knowledge directly to the virtual guitar.
