Play the guitar on Google
Back in 2011 Google created an awesome guitar Google Doodle to celebrate Les Paul's 96th birthday.
You can play the guitar with your mouse or with your keyboard. You can even easily record your song right in the Doodle itself.
Embedded below is a 1 minute and 5 second YouTube tutorial I created to show you what it looks like.
This site is great to spark that creativity.
I was goofing around and came up with what you hear by clicking here in honor of Game of Thrones season 7 starting next weekend. I am in no means a gifted musician - but loved it!
Found this helpful guide from the site Tech Review Pro
Understanding The Google Guitar Doodle’s Musical Notes
The Google Guitar has ten notes that go from a low G, and that goes as high as a high B. If you are familiar with the musical notes, keep in mind that each number has its note.
The strings on the left side of the doodle are the C, E, and G notes. The strings in the middle are the B, G, B notes and the strings on the right side are the A, D, F# and A notes.
Don’t forget that if you want to use your keyboard to play, each key will play a different note. For example, Q, 1, A, Z will play the same string that is the G note in the center of the Google Guitar Doodle.
The number on your keyboard play the following notes:
1 is G
2 is A
3 is B
4 is C
5 is D
6 is E
7 is F#
8 is G
9 is A
0 is B
If you hit various keys at the same time to play some basic chords. For example, G major would be 1, 3 and 5. C Major would be 4, 6, and 8. Finally, D7 Major would be 4, 5, 7, 9.
Here are a few other songs to try:
Take care!
