Show HN: Guitoro, a virtual guitar you strum with your keyboard

https://guitoro.com/
42•talccc•1h ago
Guitoro is a free browser guitar using recordings of real instruments. You can strum with your keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen, choose acoustic, classical, electric guitar or bass, and see chord fingering and each stroke. Song practice can be slowed to 20%, and there are free chord tools and tuners. No signup or download. I would love feedback on how the strumming feels and sounds.

Why does it show a left-handed guitar on Player view, and a right-handed one on Audience view?
talccc•3m ago
Hi Rygian, Good catch.

Player view does show a left handed guitar. Two reasons: 1. matches what a right handed player sees looking down at their own guitar: low E on top, neck on the left. 2. players without guitar, to lined up with the pc keyboard that is on the left.

True Audience view is like you watch right hand guitar player.

Holy shit, this is incredible. As a guitar player this actually feels like playing a guitar. So cool.

Only suggestion I would have would be to make all 6 strings strummable independently in the chord instead of just the 4, so you can do finger picking on it.

So many positive comments, you got to suspect. Anyway, nice graphics. Though, why the guitar is left handed?
