strum the google guitar

def chris · June 2011

if you're REALLY BORED just noticed google's logo today is a guitar you can 'play' (or if not guitar then something like it - dulcimer?)

no idea what clicking on the keyboard does. makes it go red but doesn't do anything...

clicking the keyboard lets you play using the keyboard

I just get the regular logo, nothing special fancy like what you guys are going on about :-(

*feels left out*

EDIT:

OOhh, ok ... got it. I was on the "encrypted" part of Google. NEver mind.

EDIT 3:

OOOOOH! And you can record your strumming too! (button lower right of the strings)

Here's my googledygook strumming.

in honour Les Paul's 96th birthday, that's why the guitar's there apparently

not hearing anything, just takes me to the normal google screen. I'm sure it's on a par with van halen's 'Eruption' though ;)

if you can find a C key on the keyboard regardless of what the thing is or how it's remapped it's one of the easiest things to play on anything.
