OK, so not on this exact guitar - it's SPOnG's, get your own.
The rock and rollocking success of Red Octane’s Guitar Hero game seems to have inspired the guys at Plato studio over in Japan to try to recreate the rock and roll experience for Nintendo’s handheld.
Plato, the team behind the hugely successful English language teaching software for DS, is developing the handheld guitar game, called Hiite Utaeru DS Guitar M-06.
According to reports on 1UP, “The game allows anyone to strum out a few pleasant sounds, while proper guitar players can also feel at home with the ability to control the sound like a real guitar. 120 chords are built in, with three plucking variations of each. These are navigated with the d-pad, while the pen is brushed across the touch screen to strum.”
Plato claims to have demonstrated the game to professional guitarists who have reacted favourably, particularly liking the fact that the DS guitar-simulator could be carried around in a pocket.
Hiite Utaeru DS Guitar M-06 goes on sale in Japan at the end of December.
SPOnG will be looking to get more information on this intriguing little title, along with details of any plans for a US/European release in 2007.

120 chords? You'll never need that many. Unless you're Pat Metheny.

I really hope this gets realised outside japan, and I have to say I'll be hunting a japanese copy. I've always wanted to learn to play guitar so this is a nice sustitute.
Should be intersetsing if used with different stringed instruments, I can see this going far. It will give a whole new outlet to buskers and gamers too.
