If you're looking to make better use of your Guitar Hero controller or are in serious need of a time wasting project, The Guitar Zeros have a solution. You've probably heard about the controller-wielding band before, but if not, a video showcasing one of their performances can be found here.
The band was nice enough to put up a guide showing exactly how they went about making their Guitar Hero controllers behave like musical instruments. While the guide has been out for a while, The Guitar Zeros just recently released their custom "FRETBUZZ" software.
So, if you have a PC (or a Mac if you feel particularly lucky), an X-Plorer or a PS2 Guitar Hero controller (requires USB adapter), and some free time, you too can earn extra geek points by pimping out your controller. The best part? No modding is required -- it's all done using software.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

A 2D platformer along the lines of DK Jungle Beat, but played with the GH controller.
It recently won "Best Game Concept" at the Swedish Game Awards.
