POWER GIG: RISE OF THE SIXSTRING

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will be a true evolution of the band videogame experience when it arrives this fall with a genuine six string guitar as controller. Add guitar virtuoso's Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews Band and Kid Rock to the concept and you know that this will be a great game!

"We think Power Gig is a much needed and much welcomed game because, unlike any others before it, it puts a real guitar into the hands of aspiring musicians, and we hope it inspires our fans and others to start playing even when they’re not playing the game," said Dave Matthews Band.


The guitar features Seven45's proprietary technology that can distinguish and recognize gamers’ input all along the guitar, making the guitars as easy to pick up and play as any other band game button controllers. They also include all the guts of an electric guitar so players can plug their SixString guitars into any standard amplifier.

In addition to traditional beat-matching that will be familiar to fans of the band game genre, Power Gig also introduces the option to switch on chording, which presents the added challenge of playing the game using chords that require specific finger placement on the strings.

Seven45 has also unveiled the AirStrike drum controller that consists of two drumsticks and a small unit that rests by the player's feet that features unique technology that can differentiate the right drumstick from the left.
