## What is ShakeGuitar HD?

The ShakeGuitar HD is an interactive music application for the iPad.
You can feel like a professional guitar player with this app, even if you are musical novices.
Shaking your iPad or dragging your finger over the screen, the guitar-melody difficulty smoothly changes in real-time from soft backing to heavy soloing.
The guitar shake motion on the screen represents the difficulty level.
The higher the level is, the more violently guitar shakes up and down.
You can set each level thoughout the music by touching or draging on the level control panel.

Be careful not to shake your iPad too much!

The ShakeGuitar is based on a melody morphing method developed by Masatoshi Hamanaka.
