Any story about Guitar Hero or Rock Band isn't complete without some yahoo in the comments claiming that people should stop having fun playing games and should start learning how to play an actual guitar. One product at CES was pitched to us as an advanced Guitar Hero controller, but what we saw at the booth was a surprisingly robust musical product that will retail for $179.99.

The guitar, called the "You Rock Guitar" from Inspired Instruments, features six metal "strings" and a full-sized neck with rows of pressure-sensitive lines that act and feel like the strings of a real instrument. You can strum, you can fingerpick, and you can play chords and solos. The controller has clearly laid out sections for Rock Band, and by hitting a button on the body of the guitar you turn on "game mode" so you can use it on your video game system—a $25 add-on gives the guitar Bluetooth support for wireless play—but the guitar has many more tricks up its sleeve.
