The central idea for my final project, which I viewed as a sort of partial synthesis of the knowledge I gained over the course of Fall quarter 2008, was to turn a computer keyboard into a somewhat realistic guitar substitute.

Frets The rows of keys, beginning with "Z, A, Q, 1, F1" are supposed to simulate
