One of the most unique titles I saw at E3 was a little Nintendo DS game from Ubisoft called Jam Sessions. The way the “game” works is it creates a virtual guitar for you on the DS touch screen that you can play. You can then load in chords and note patterns and play the virtual guitar, and even record the music you play. So why not play a real guitar? Well the idea really is to easily experiment on the road without a guitar, and it should help a lot of real musicians write music whenever inspiration strikes. And for up and coming musicians this is a cheap way to start practicing reading and writing music for guitars.
IGN has a preview and demo video up on their site. Be sure to check it out.
