Google's Les Paul logo

Post by Kizyr »

Hey everyone! So if you haven't checked it out yet, Google's logo yesterday and today has been a playable/strummable guitar in honor of Les Paul's birthday. (permanent link here)

The US site also lets you record stuff so you can send it around for others to hear. It's a fair bit more cumbersome than playing an actual instrument at times, but you can still play a full octave plus two whole notes (no sharps/flats though, so it's a little limited).

Here are a couple that I was working on... These two take me back to my roots:

Good stuff, Kizyr.

Let me know when they give you the option to put a screwdriver in it like Sonic Youth.

Thanks! No screwdriver options yet... Maybe the tab key?

So let's try some VG themes...

Yeah, their logo is just epic, though trying to hit the notes with a mouse is too tedious for an unskilled person like me. Would have been better if there was also the option of using the keyboard for it. That is not to say I didn't have fun with it. I was able to make some pretty decent sounding stuff, but whenever I went to record it I could never get it right the second time. Ah, well...

Btw, love Dyne's theme :D

Edit: Never mind on the keyboard thing. Apparently it does work. Doh! Hopefully I can keep playing with it even after they take it down, I want to try a few songs. :D

Google stores its logos in a logo archive, so you should be able to play it for a while.

Sweet, and sweet. :D

Keep trying to play the boat song, but can't remember most of the initial notes. Phoey.
