Frets on Fire is Keyboard Hero for pc, linux or mac os x. That's the best way I can describe it. You have to try it for yourself, I quarantee you will enjoy it. Specially good about this is that you can play your own playlists.

I was actually going to make this thread soon.  I've had Frets on Fire for several weeks now, and I have all the Guitar Hero songs.  I have converted my old keyboard into a guitar, complete w/ duct tape strap.  This game is super fun.

I downloaded it.  But it keeps crashing on me.  Are you really supposed to hold your keyboard like that, or am I just gullible?   

[greenMonkey]

Yes, you actually are supposed to hold your keyboard like that 

I get occasional crashes too sometimes, but not all the time.

SOOO AWESOME. Thanks so much for postin this! The game rocks!

[imapiratearg]

It's so much fun to play, it more than makes up for how weird you look holding your keyboard like a guitar.

Bumping this because they updated it with the OSX version for those of you who couldn't download it when this was new.

Been playing this all day, and I think I addicted. At the risk of offending people, I think it's even better than Guitar Hero, since, with the interweb at my disposal, I can actually download tracks that I enjoy listening to and attempting to play. Only annoying bit is that I struggle on medium, and most of the tracks I've downloaded can only be played on awesome. Practise is in order!

[greenMonkey]

I have been practicing a bit and now can play most songs passably (3 or more stars) on Medium and several on Amazing.

I have the most fun on "Carry On Wayward Son" (Kansas).  The soloing and the unison bit with the bass are super fun.

can anyone reccomend a program that converts songs to .ogg so i can add them?

[greenMonkey]

Audacity has a built in converter.  It's really hard to add songs though, because you have to create the file for the guitar pattern.

[the_tard]

Nevermind, I just found a site called www.keyboardsonfire.com or something like that that has a lot of songs on it already. It has the "Trogdor" song on it, which is all I really need anyway.

i have had this for super-ages, but when i added all the GH songs, the menu text disappeared

i haven't played it much since... don't get me addicted now though internet... i have coursework to do!
