Live from the Subway: Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker

As promised, I took our newest electronic instrument – Jada’s Air Guitar Rocker – out on the town. We began in Times Square, but with New York City’s current freezing temperatures, my fingers froze up and seriously impacted my performance. I decided it best to play underground in the Subway.

While the Rocker gets some decent volume in a bedroom or office cubicle, in the loud subway it could really use a louder amp. We did enjoy rocking out with Desmond Ivey, a New York City-based musician who plays throughout the subway system. You can check out his web page and can also download his songs on iTunes. Ivey was a bit perplexed by the small air guitar device and even attempted to jam with us, but honestly his tunes sounded a whole lot better than our electronic music.

In the end, playing the Air Guitar Rocker in midtown Manhattan made me a total of 50 cents. But all the stares were just priceless! Practice will make perfect.
