My PlayStation 2 has been collecting dust for a long time. Recently, after playing the Guitar Hero game on my friend’s PlayStation, I felt in love with that game and I bought a copy of the game but without a guitar controller. After searching online for a guitar controller, I found a low price 3rd party controller and that is Wireless Guitar Knight Controller.
I bought the controller at Play-Asia for US$24.90 and it took them for like 8 days to delivered to my door steps via free shipping. Package come in a good bubble box. There’s actually a cheaper one but it’s wired. I prefer not to have the wire running around in my room as it’ll be look messy so I took the wireless one.
The guitar itself looks smaller than the original Guitar Hero’s guitar. It felt weird at first but it’s good to hold on later then. The whammy bar and the strum bar are nice to press on but the 5 buttons are a bit hard. The feeling is not the same on the original controller, though it’s still nice to play with, just need sometimes to master on it.
Just plug in the receiver into one of the controller port and you are ready go play. It requires 4 AA size battery but the package doesn’t come with any. It uses 2.4GHz wireless frequency instead of Bluetooth or Infrared so it may affect your home wireless network so you may want to change your Wifi channel. According to the manual, it says that distance of this controller will support up to 7 meter which is quite far already.
If you are looking for a place to buy your gaming needs online, check out Play-Asia, it’s where I do my shopping for my gaming gear and accessories. It’s reliable and large library of title and games. The best of all, it takes in PayPal.

The guitar is a wonderful instrument. It covers a wide genre of music; from rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc. It is also relatively easy to learn to play. But as with any other skill, it requires a lot of patience and practice to work. The first thing one should do when taking beginner acoustic guitar lessons is to find out which hand he uses to play the guitar with. Most people assume that just because you are left or right handed, you will also play the guitar the same way. Since you use two hands, one for strumming and one for the fret board, it is important to know which hand is to be used for each purpose. The reason for this is a guitar’s strings are usually aligned with the thickest string on top, gradually thinning down as it reaches the bottom. With this setup, the left hand is used to tap the frets, and the right hand is used for strumming. If you feel that your left hand is much suited to handle the strumming, and that the right hand for tapping notes, then the strings need to be attached the opposite way; starting with the thinnest string on top, and the thickest one at the bottom. A very famous guitarist who plays the guitar this way is Jimi Hendrix.
