String Theory

String Theory turns your song library into guitar practice challenges. Import supported song files or use the included songs, choose a part and play along on a real guitar or bass. The game detects single notes and chords in real time and scores your performance.

Practice your way

Loop Mode repeats sections for focused practice, while Note By Note Mode pauses at each note or chord until you play it. You can also slow playback to work on difficult passages. A built-in editor lets you create and edit charts, with a live 3D preview, guitar techniques, beat mapping and tone switches.

Songs and play modes

You can import songs in supported chart and notation formats. The game also includes a rhythm and arcade mode for supported chart formats, with keyboard and gamepad support. Connect an electronic drum kit over MIDI to play full drum charts, with pads mapped from kick to crash.

Scoring and multiplayer

Your performance earns a score based on how accurately you play. Local multiplayer requires a game controller for the second player.
