Have you ever tried to play with an air guitar? It’s kind of silly, we know, but recently, we’ve found out that an air guitar can actually be made… with a little help from your Wiimote and a PC program.

The app is called Wiimote Guitar v0.1, and it essentially allows you to “play” a guitar with the aid of a Wiimote. Here’s what Evan X. Merz, the creator of this nifty application, had to say about the project:

It is a basic Wiimote guitar that can be played similar to the way you strum a real guitar. Hold a direction on the d-pad to select a chord, and swing your Wiimote up and down to strum.

He also created a Wiimote drum-sampling application for use on PCs. In any case, feel free to follow the source link for additional information on what you’ll need to use this application. For now, however, enjoy this quick video that shows off how the Wiimote Guitar works.
