Post by: Darren Dirt on June 09, 2011, 12:41:00 PM
It's a guitar!

click the keyboard icon, and your whole keyboard lets you play scales etc. more easily -- and multi-key = chords!

Oh yes, much playing with that today!

Sorta funny, I was thinking about Chuck Berry yesterday and now Les Paul today
