Fun for educated musicians, perhaphs, for ordinary users it would just mean a larger chance to hit the "wrong" notes.
I wish it had octaves above and below though. It's hard to play anything in a minor key, because the relative minor starts on the 6th and then you only have like 4 notes above that.

#84Is this made with javascript?
from a superficial look, it seems like the sound is actually being played through flash. it looks like the doodle is canvas though, which suggests the interface is in javascript. too bad they didn't synthesize the sound with javascript as well. their web audio api is great. firefox has a (somewhat) equivalent api. :)

#86Looks like they were inspired by this: http://www.mta.me/ (already mentioned on HN)

the shift key could have worked... and frankly if it's Les Paul I think I should at least be able to play a few power chords ;)

It really doesn't seem like sound playback is there yet, except in Flash.
