Power Gig: Rise of the SixString aims to transport players to an entirely new universe where music rules. The game offers two modes of play which includes, in addition to traditional beat-matching, the option to switch on chording, or chord play. Chording presents the added challenge of playing the game using chords that require specific finger placement on the strings. As players progress through the game, becoming more comfortable with a genuine guitar and potentially choosing to play real power chords, they will find that the byproduct of playing the game is coming away from it with an understanding of some real-life guitar fundamentals.

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall. The actual SixString guitar will make its debut today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
