from reality to the gaming environment

The Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchise are a popular part of pop culture these days. The games are a huge outlet for promotion/advertisement and have helped gain popularity for many bands. People every where are developing massive hand cramps from button mashing the plastic guitar.
Many who are against the games have problems with people wasting their time thinking they're rockstars by mastering a fake guitar when they could be dedicating that effort towards a real guitar. With that being said, now both worlds can meet up in the middle and compromise. Someone has modded a real guitar to work on the Nintendo Wii version of Guitar Hero. The Guitar is connected with the Wiimote and is plugged into an amp.
Check out this video to see it in action:


Hardcore Guitar Hero and Rock Band gamers can only hope that one day their plastic guitars can be plugged into an amp and work in reality.
