Playing DOOM using a guitar as a controller #Gaming #Doom @DOSSTORM
DOS Storm on YouTube (via X/Twitter) shows a unique take on playing the game DOOM (no it isn’t on a candy bar).
No, I’m not playing the soundtrack for DOOM here! We are playing DOOM using a real electric guitar! How they heck do you do that though? I will explain! It’s actually not as hard as you might think to set this up and it will probably work with an acoustic guitar(with a microphone) as well as any other instrument or even your own voice.
This is a good technique for mapping unconventional items like musical instruments into keystrokes.

I know they said they’re not playing the soundtrack from Doom, but this makes me wish for a rhythm game where shredding the guitar helps the Doom-guy fight through heck!
