Frets on Fire is a game that is dated even a couple of years but it is really worth remembering it for the originality of this title on PC and the fun it can bring to guitar enthusiasts in particular but to everyone in general. The game is very similar to Guitar Hero, a famous console game, except for the much more spartan and simplified graphics and except for the fact that it is totally free and free .
The aim of the game is to reproduce the music in time and exactly, holding the PC keyboard under your arm, using it just like a real guitar.
After choosing which song to play, configure the keyboard; the guitar strings will be 5 keys close together as can be the F1 to F5 keys instead the "note" key could be the delete key, on the opposite side to be pressed with the other hand.
By doing so, it is possible to hold the keyboard as if it were the guitar and the music begins: the chosen song will be exactly like the original but the electric guitar must be played with the PC keyboard according to the tempo and notes indicated on the screen. The difficulty is very high for the uninitiated and depends on song by song; the music that can be played are many and are above all the most famous rock music.
Frets on Fire, downloadable at this link, is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OSx, it is free and can be downloaded from the official website but, to have the full game of all the latest rock music you must search on the internet or on p2p networks .
Alternatively you can also download FoFix, a modified Frets of Fire mod.
Last recommendation, don't destroy the keyboard ...
