Well, I have seen air-guitar contests...

I see this as being an in-bred cousin of those glorified karaoke contests, American Idol, Canadian Idol etc.

I doubt that many people would actually buy one of their own for home use, but as an arcade game, I think it would catch on well. Even leading to 'new, improved' versions of those air-guitar contests. I don't think it would lead to a lot of people taking up guitar in any serious way, since the whole point of the thing is lookin' flash, not sounding amazing.
