Squeak,
I checked out their website and it does sound interesting although I'm having problems imagining exectly how this is done. Strumming a keyboard with a guitar pick?
I wonder if you or anyone has tried out the new keyboard/guitars from Yamaha called EZ guitars or something like that. You can find them on Yamaha's website. They are geared toward beginners it seems but they look intriguing. No more tuning or broken strings. A cross between a keyboard and a guitar.

I think the way this works is you map it out on the keyboard. You map out chords on the keys and trigger them via the other unit. It is very intersting and I'd love to try this thing out.. It really isn't that expensive, and it has a massive amount of sample memory to acoustic guitars. I've seen the newer EZ guitars by Yammie, and personally I don't like them. When learning you really need to put your hands on the strings when making chords and so forth. This strengthens up the pads on your finger tips and strengthens your wrist as well... Someone could learn on the EZ guitar, but when they tried to play a real acoustic would have considerable pain in their finger tips because they did not build them up properly.
