Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker is an electronic music toy produced by Jada Toys and released in May 2008.[1] Jada Toys teamed up with Activision to release the toy. Its retail price was $29.99.[2][3]
It consists of a guitar-crossed skull-themed belt buckle, a clip-able amplifier (requires 3 AA batteries which are included), two guitar picks, a connection wire, and an "Air Cartridge" of songs and jams. Waving the pick near the buckle lets the user play air guitar to jam songs and riffs.
How to use[]
The Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker amplifier has a clip behind it that can be attached to the user's legwear. A connector cable attaches from the amplifier to the buckler. You use the included guitar pick(s) to strum in front of the motion-detected belt buckle to from the amp's speaker.
Air strumming in front of the motion-detected buckle will play the audio of a note/chord from the main riff of the selected song from the amp that loops at the end of the main riff.
