Don’t Mess with Elmo Guitar Hero

Just because you’re a two-year-old with an Elmo guitar doesn’t mean you can’t rock out on Guitar Hero with the big boys. Thanks to modder Nextonex’s efforts, his daughter will be able to do just that with her improved Elmo guitar which boasts playback compatibility with Guitar Hero on the PlayStation. The Elmo guitar had all the right ingredients: a strum bar, a whammy bar, and four neck buttons to make this awesome mod possible. With the innards of a PSOne controller (apparently this won’t work easily with a PS2 controller), some soldering skills and some elbow grease, Nextonex was able to convert a child’s toy into a lethal musical weapon. I’ll be keeping my eyes out for that lucky little girl to become a Guitar Hero legend one day.
