Interesting.

There's a game called riffmaster that I discovered via addictinggames.com (http://www.addictinggames.com/riff.html) that was pretty fun to play. It has similar keyboard options. There is also a sequel (http://www.addictinggames.com/riffmasterii.html), but I haven't played it.

When I first saw it, I thought it would be boring, but there are some elements that make it pretty fun.

Hey, guys, Andrew Lee from JamLegend. Feel free to tell us what you think.

We've been hanging out on News.YC for about a year now and know some of the YC companies personally, so please give us as much feedback as possible.

REQUEST FOR HELP: if anyone has experience with Glassfish (with Java, not Ruby), please email me at Andrew@jamlegend.com, we're experiencing some tricky load issues and are imploring for help.

Congrats to Andrew and the JamLegend crew. We met them awhile ago and have been following their progress ever since. Amazing progress in a short timeframe.

I guess soon I will have to give the official report on how well this works hooking up a Wii guitar to my mactop and playing Jam Legend.

Only problem for me is the return key. It isn't quick enough to register it sometimes, I tried playing a song on medium and I do suck, but I did notice it not registering the key :S

edit: Also, more indie bands. Try and get Vampire Weekend or someone else to toss their songs on the site. Man, that would rock

Sadly not, we looked into GC stuff but it doesn't seem to be the culprit
