[EDIT: Looks Google has disable the Google Guitar links so my compositions below no longer work.  Bummer.]

The Google logo today is very cool.  It is in honor of the guitarist Les Paul who is well known for the Gibson guitar model which bares his name, the Gibson Les Paul.

The great thing about the Google logo is that you can actually PLAY the guitar.  Even more, you can record yourself and send your friends links to your compositions!  It will be interesting to see what people come up with.

So far, I have discovered that the Google guitar is in the key of G.  The strings are laid out such that it is easy to play whole chords.  I was able to determine the notes of a major scale.

The Google guitar's scale starts on the longest and top most string in the middle set.  This is a G note.

You can play the guitar with your mouse, but it is kinda difficult.  To use your keyboard, use the following Google Guitar codes...

Keyboard Letter = Musical Note
A = G
S = A
D = B
F = C
G = D
H = E
J = F#
K = G
L = A
; = B

So you get a full octave plus notes 2 and 3 (A and B) on the high register.  Just enough to play the National Anthem!

Here is my composition showing how to play a scale on the Google guitar.

got some time to play.  Here's some tunes...
