Gaming accessories maker ezGear, teaming with a music and gaming technology company out of California, is showing off at the Consumer Electronics Show what it believes is the world’s most advanced video game and music controller. It’s a gaming guitar – the You Rock Guitar – and you’ll have shell out around $150 later this year if you want one.

The You Rock Guitar works with both guitar-based video games as well as music programs like Garage Band on the Mac. It sports a full , multi-touch fret board to accomplish this, including offering raised bars to give the feeling of playing the guitar with strings.

Features of the You Rock Guitar include built-in acoustic, electric and other sounds, a 1/4-inch guitar plug, MIDI and USB outputs and a software development kit so people can develop compatible applications if they so choose. The SDK should be available before the guitar.
