I am JamLegend!

The rhythm music game allowed me to gain points by pushing keys to the beat, specifically keys 1, 2 and 3. In less than five minutes, I assure you will already transform into the “riff-er” you dreamt of for so long.

Now it’s possible to play with the frets and the plucks and the solos as successfully as our guitar heroes—from Jimi Hendrix to Duane Allman (Allman Brothers Band), from B.B. King to Eric Clapton, from Mark Knofler (Dire Straits) to Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Frank Zappa, to Eddie Van Halen (gasp!).

With the help of a tutorial key you can click on, you can relax and enjoy the music of your fave string pickers, notes will fall to the beat of the song, then you have to press the right key when the note hits bottom. If such bores you (because you feel you’re already one of the pros at guitar games with past Guitar Hero experiences), you can get to the next level by playing Advanced.

JamLegend at jamlegend.com is one thing I discovered during my leave from the office. It’s not actually something new, but it offers more varied songs on its playlist. However, blogger Rozelle Reyes clamors to hear more songs of the “famous bands right now.”

Since the LegendMaker is not mass-produced yet, the computer keyboard is used to simulate the guitar. By the way, a certain Fritz from Germany joined blog.legend and shared how he had created a higher plane of enjoyment by inventing the LegendMaker keyboard to fully maximize use of JamLegend features.

The rhythm music game allowed me to gain points by pushing keys to the beat, specifically keys 1, 2 and 3. In less than five minutes, I assure you that with passion and focus you’ll transform into the “heavy riff-er” you’ve fancied for all this time.

Honestly! I have a big red flag over those online games (level up games) played by many youngsters today painted with gory images, programmed with head-splitting noise, and shrouded with nerve-wracking violence. So it is therapeutic, indeed, to have finally discovered that, sans the real concert stage, I can now rock my way within reach Papa Roach’s Lifeline sampler, Veer Union’s Seasons, Cavender’s These are the Nights—a very compelling social gaming experience, I would say.

Aside from the growling and the banging, players are also encouraged to join “posterous” by blogging, follow the Twitter, watch shared videos (those that wouldn’t usher you to some Senate), or simply be a fan. Plus, there’s a sidebar for the Top 10 Plays for the Week and other recent activities done by other jamlegendaries.

On virtual mode, we can get our chops together with less hesitation to rock and rooolll to the works and geniuses of Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Johnny Ramone (The Ramones), John Frusciante (Red Chot Chili Peppers)…and the rest on the roster of top guitar players of all time.
