Recommendation: gHacks
Software and technology is where it’s at these days. Where what’s at, you say? I’m not sure, but if you’re like me you might be interested in a site that I like to visit pretty regularly.

Self-Tuning Computerized Guitar
The title may sound confusing or may mislead you to what exactly this thing is.
