I was watching the Star Wars marathon last night and saw a commercial about a guitar game that you use a real guitar with. It went by so fast I did not catch the name of the game or what system it was for. Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks
 
Is it Power Gig?

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is a jam-along musical instrument sim that gives virtual rockers the option of mastering of a more challenging, more realistic guitar-playing mode. Fans of earlier music simulation games can choose Power Gig's "beat-matching" mode, in which players tap the fret board in time with the music, following onscreen cues, as in Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Using a compatible microphone and the game's exclusive AirStrike drumstick controllers, players can also add vocals and percussion for a virtual band performance. In the game's "Chord Play" mode, guitar players switch from lead to rhythm, and strum along with the actual chord progressions of the songs. The finger placements used to play chords on the Power Gig SixString guitar controller are similar to those used on a regular guitar, providing virtual rock heroes a more authentic physical experience of jamming along with the band. The game features a storyline with original characters and settings, and the opportunity to unlock challenging rock anthems from artists including Eric Clapton, the Dave Matthews Band, and Kid Rock, With its six real strings and working fret board, the Power Gig controller can be plugged in to any standard amplifier and played like a regular guitar. The SixString guitar controller, required for play, is included with the game disc and documentation in this retail bundle. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
 

I've seen ads lately for that Power Gig, so I bet that's what you saw. The reviews for it haven't been great, though. If you're considering getting that sort of game, I would recommend looking into Rock Band 3 instead. It has the usual Rock Band gameplay, but new to Rock Band 3 is the Pro Guitar mode. If you get the Pro Guitar accessory, you can essentially learn to play guitar by playing the game. One pro guitar is already out, and another one is coming out in the next few months which will be an actual, working guitar that also plays Rock Band. The reviews for RB3 have been much better than those for Power Gig.
