Webfishing<\/a><\/em> is one of my favorite games right now. It\u2019s a fishing game, so you\u2019ll do plenty of fishing \u2014 but there are many other activities for you and your friends, too. While exploring the island you can dress up cute animal characters, gamble virtual money with scratch-offs, and decorate parts of the world with chalk. It also has a guitar you can play, and since its release in October, musically talented players have been using this in-game guitar to put on virtual concerts and cover popular songs from bands like Green Day, Radiohead, and Blink-182.<\/p>\n

The item is surprisingly sophisticated and emulates an an actual instrument. You can pluck individual strings, save presets for chords, and strum chords. I\u2019m no musician, so I used it to play random notes in the background as my friends tried their best to focus on fishing. But some players have become so good at playing the in-game guitar that they\u2019re performing acoustic covers of real songs in Webfishing<\/em> and sharing clips online. Here is a video of a person \u2014 err, I mean dog \u2014 playing \u201cNo Surprises\u201d by Radiohead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No Surprises but it's on Webfishing<\/p>\n

This one is a rough, but charming, take on Green Day\u2019s \u201cAmerican Idiot.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n

This person went all out and recorded four different parts to recreate \u201cI Miss You,\u201d by Blink-182. <\/p>\n

All in all, it\u2019s cool to see people get so into using just one item in the game. The creator, Lamedeveloper, went the extra mile to make just a single item so complex. (I would have been happy to run around and make random strumming sounds!) The guitar has become so popular that one person created software that uses the MIDI audio files<\/a> for the instrument in order to make it easier to replicate the sound, without the need to play it directly in the game using the somewhat clunky UI.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re musically inclined \u2014 or just the type who likes to mess around with friends \u2014 you can check out Webfishing<\/em> on Windows PC.<\/p>\n
