Ben Heck, Saving the One Handed Guitar Heroes

Ben Heck makes a one-handed pedal attachment to play Guitar Hero


Master and Creator of all things that nobody would have thought of without enormous amounts of free time, Ben Heck, blesses us with his media presence once again. This time, he gives us, and behold! the guitar strum pedal.

OK, so maybe some of us who wanted a more authentic guitar gaming experience considered a pedal, especially since companies like Nyko already made similar products (albeit for different purposes). So what? Though I must admit, this "boot" would be an awesome replacement for a whammy bar.

Which, of course, it is. It's made specifically for anyone playing one handed, with that one hand on the frets and their foot strumming. Which, if you've played Rock Band drums lately, you can imagine how difficult it would be because feet are just not used that way. It works, there are two, and for anyone interested, it works as a whammy bar too. There are only two right now, so you'd better get in touch with him if you want one ASAP.

Oh, and RedOctane actually sent him some guitar's to help him make it. How's that for generous? Good job guys.
