Guitar tuned for makeshift IR decoding

While its practicality may be somewhat limited, we’ve got to give some props to Benjamin Eckel for finding what is surely one of the most geeky uses for a guitar yet devised: turning that otherwise wailing axe into a makeshift IR decoder. In true DIY fashion, Benjamin admits that he doesn’t entirely understand how the whole thing works, but he assures us that it does, requiring nothing more than a WAV editor and a means of hooking the guitar up to your PC. You’ll still have to do the hard work of deciphering the waveforms yourself, however, which should prove to be endless good times.
