Last week, we reported on VGSPlayer, which will allow you to strum along to Guitar Hero songs to practice them in an environment when virtual avatars aren't booing you. But one of our readers — and god love you, but we deleted your email by accident, so email us with your name if you want credit — pointed us to this video of Freetar Hero, an upcoming program that will allow you to program your own new Guitar Hero songs, plug in your controller and jam. This looks plenty snazzy, people. - Florian Eckhardt
