g-tar is a most excellent guitar simulator application created by Doug Stevenson and Markleford Friedman for the Android Developer Challenge 2. It's also available from the Android Market. Just search for g-tar. It's only been tested on the G1 so if you're running into problems on another phone model, we'd like to know what happened for you. As usual, with all sound and graphic intense applications, it will work better if you don't have lots of other applications running at the same time. Maybe turn on airplane mode to keep it quiet.

The current free version of g-tar will be fully functional and free through the duration of ADC2 judging. On December 1, 2009 the free version will expire, at which point we will release a limited free version and a full featured paid version. Yes, we will be those jerks who ask for a couple dollars for fun mobile software! You will no longer have to hate us just because we are beautiful!
