Will Seven45 Studios turn you into a guitar virtuoso with its Power Gig: Rise of the Six String? The game will utilize a real six string guitar (designed for console use), and will feature "Power Chord Mode." How does it work? Audio Director Mashi Hasu plays show and tell in this latest developer diary.
"Our hope, is that after playing 'Power Chord' mode people are walking away with the fundamentals of guitar playing," he says.
Fun fact: Hasu is an accomplished six-string player, and a guitar professor at Boston's Berklee College of Music. Another fact: Power Gig is out October 19 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Here, I'm not so sure.
Also, I'm biased.
True contender to Rock Band 3 here folks.
I just got this visual image of the game asking players to pop their collars up and go kick a kitten.

Power chords are like "I couldn't really be bothered to learn guitar but can make a bit of a song out of these two finger cop-outs"
(Sorry Mr Cobain, as much as i love you, you were no virtuoso)
RockBand 3 pro-mode FTW.
The spiritual successor to Rock Revolution will not disappoint at disappointing.
