Summary / Read source ↗

- Guitoro is a virtual guitar you can use right in your browser. On a computer, you hold chords by pressing letter keys with your left hand and pluck the strings by pressing the H and J keys with your right hand. On phones and tablets, you play by sweeping your finger across the strings. - According to the source, the guitar and bass sounds are recordings of real instruments, and you can use it without downloading or creating an account. This is the creator's description. - According to the source, the instruments are steel string acoustic, classical, electric, 4-string bass 4, and the songs include 51 songs, with the tempo adjustable down to 20%. The vibrating strings and the movement of the pick are shown on screen while you play. - The source mentions Google Guitar Doodle and presents this as a method it improved upon. However, this is the creator's comparison and not an evaluation confirmed by outside parties.

O: This fits a scene where a student who is just starting to learn guitar presses chords on a laptop keyboard in their room without a guitar, slowly following one easy song. X: The source's claim about differences from a real instrument is only the producer's claim and has not been verified. It also does not state the copyright conditions for using songs and chord lists, so this needs to be checked.
