Published on Aug 10, 2015 Igor Zinken

"The 8-bit guitar returns to showcase itself in a setting which is freely available to you all (as far as purchasing a guitar with MIDI pickup is free anyways...)

You can play WebSID directly in your Chrome / Safari browser here :

the amazing 8-bit C64 guitar !!

"The sounds of the Commodore 64 made available to the six-string. An Elektron SID Station provides the 8-bit sounds, a pitch-to-MIDI system acts as the mediator between the strings and the synth.

By request : apart from some generic riffs the video features some familiar compositions such as David Bowie's "Fame" at 3:25, Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the sugar plum fairies" at 5:40 and Nine Inch Nails' "Head like a hole" at 6:49. As for originals: the riff from 4:43 to 4:50 is taken from my own "Ganymede" (which - by request - you can listen to on SoundCloud here : https://soundcloud.com/igorski/ganyme...)
Some of the other sounds displayed in this video have been used to create a short composition which can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/igorski/sid-ba..."
