I saw this late last night, it's pretty cool. Very nice tribute.

[JoeHova]

That is very nice. Pretty fun too, probably the 2nd best one I've seen, behind only the Pac-Man anniversary.

I spent at least 10 minutes earlier today playing with that. By the time I was done I had completely forgotten what I was going to look up.

[Schlitz001]

If you didn't know, you can record it and play it with the number keys on the keyboard.

How do you do that?

I thought I had the main riff for Sally Cinnamon by The Stones Roses worked out but I can't get the last two notes figured out.

How do you play it with a keyboard/numbers? Whenever I try to do this it treats it as though I'm trying to search for what I'm typing. Edited June 10, 2011 by mtrebs

you have to make sure your cursor isn't clicked in the search tab. Click right below the guitar doodle itself.
