Will it B#?

If you like using your DSi to make beautiful music, you've so far been mostly limited to keyboards and studio software, with few to no alternatives. Abylight's Music On series is about to throw a new six-stringed option into the mix with the launch of Music On: Acoustic Guitar next week.

Selling at the same 200 Point price as its predecessors, Acoustic Guitar is aimed at existing strummers and those new to the instrument, with the sound of fingers moving on frets replicating the full-size instrument in a pocket format. The application can also be used to accompany a real guitar: its chord dictionary containing over 900 variations should be enough to satisfy the most chord-thirsty player.

Released in North America on Monday and a European launch following on Friday, we'll have a full review shortly.

“The sound quality and users' interface are remarkable improvements regarding our previous titles. Users will be able to hear fingers moving on the frets, strumming nails, and other real sound effects of an acoustic guitar, all displayed on an easier and more intuitive musical application. Nonetheless, the +900 chord directory alone makes this application a huge asset for any musician, amateur or professional.- Said Alberto González, Designer of “Music on: Acoustic Guitar”- We are very proud of the end result, as a musician and as a game developer working for Nintendo DSi”.
