About guitar friend
guitar friend is a small music toy where a guitar sits on screen and plays for you. You strum with the space bar and change chords with the number keys. There's no score and no level, just something you can play along with.
The numbers 1 to 8 give you eight different chords, and Enter starts or stops a backing track. Hold a chord, strum in time, switch when the song moves, and you're jamming. The music comes from the same person who made the game.
It's the sort of toy you open for a minute and keep for ten. You can play guitar friend online here without installing anything, and guitar friend free is the only way it comes. This music toy is a nice way to make a little noise.
How to Play guitar friend

What to Expect in guitar friend
This is a toy, not a challenge. Nothing grades your playing and nothing punishes mistakes, so you can strum however you like. The fun is in finding which chords sit well together.
With the backing track on, it feels like playing along with a band. With it off, it's more of a quiet sketchpad. Either way it's a game for a few relaxed minutes with sound on, and the controls fit in your head right away.
