Guitar app is decent, but it’s no substitute for the real thing

by Brian Beam, Macworld.com

I’ve been playing the guitar for most of my life. So, when guitar apps started appearing in the App Store, I was like the proverbial kid in a candy store. Sadly, I quickly developed a love/hate relationship with most of the App Store offerings that turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a virtual guitar. I love the idea of being able to play the guitar no matter where I happen to be, but I hate the limitations imposed by the size of the iPhone’s screen and the lack of tactile feedback.
