Well it's a simple enough idea. I got the idea from the "Master Difficulty" idea by MoN01 I believe. Link!

Basically this is how it works...

Two charts, left hand and right hand. The Bass, or left hand, would obviously be the fretboard on the left. The Treble, or right hand, the one on the right. Fret the left chart for the left hand, the right chart for the right hand.

Instead of strumming, the Drum hitting system could be used, where you press it at the right time and it auto strums.

Not a very complicated system, if I say so myself. It'd be nice if someone could throw together an auto-strum kind of addition to Alarian, or just set it up like the Drum track is, I don't know how exactly it's set up so I'd like if someone could tell me... :D

And before anyone says this would be a waste. Listen to Dream Theater... that's several songs right there. Mostly, every song by them I'd say... :D

Gimme some feedback on this... :D

I like the idea, and it doesn't sound too tough to do.

Also, there isn't any speed picking when there's keyboard, which would be very nice.
I would probably play

Yeah, that could work. As lame as it sounds, I was kind of thinking along the lines of "home row" for the frets. lol You know...

asdfg jkl;'

Then maybe the Space Bar for Starpower/Overdrive or Kill Switch. Maybe just a surrounding key if that's what you wanted... lol

Thanks for supporting the idea... I'll see about maybe working on it a bit. =D

Mmk. I don't really have any time to get started today. I'll try to do it this weekend though... :D I'd much appreciate if someone could do it for me though, seeing as I'm more a a Ruby guy honestly... Just need the coding for the drums hitting system turned into a guitar "mod" of sorts... :D

I had this idea before and it's been lingering in my head for many days.

But my main problem was I couldn't get my keyboard to have no strum since GlovePIE didn't work.

But my latest idea was with a guitar controller flat without strum. But I'm willing to help I guess.

Really all I would need coding wise is a mod or addition that automatically strums for you. Nothing new, basically a new instrument type thing. The drum hitting system already uses it... o.o

I had this idea a while ago. I'm glad to see someone else has the same idea and that there's support for it.

You could just map drums to your keyboard then fret the part to the drum track.
