Players Get Handy With the TLoU2 Guitar, Produce Amazing Covers
In the recently released The Last of Us Part II, you get to play guitar on several occasions. As the game offers you the full control of the instrument via a combination of some touchpad strumming and playing the chords with the analog stick, you can produce pretty much any melody you want. Some players took it to the max with covering some popular songs within the game.
Even before the official release, VG247 couldn't help but put up a video of some guitar covers done in TLoU2, including "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, "Zombie" by The Cranberries and "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
On June 19th, Russian blog Dusgusting Men dropped some covers of Russian guitar bangers, with "Creep" by Radiohead also in the mix.
From June 19th and on, Twitter, Reddit and YouTube users jumped in on the budding trend, with folks covering Lana Del Rey, Johnny Cash and video game music.

So basically, it's the musical equivalent of the drawing board from Duke Nukem Forever?

Yes. You can do this with the piano in HL: Alyx too.

When I first saw this I thought "Man, say what you want about the game (I agree for the most part) but if you can play around with that guitar mechanics, that would so cool. I wish it was in a series I was actually interested in but maybe someday."
