Guitar play inspires passion at all ages - Used to be kids would watch their favorite rock stars and try to match their moves wailing away on an air guitar, but with today's technology even the youngest fan can take a lick at "real" guitar play. Video games and play guitars have made the instrument accessible to everyone, but this holiday season Mattel's (NYSE: MAT) I Can Play Guitar, featuring a unique plug & play learning system, brings the real magic home with the help of Nickelodeon favorite Drake Bell.
Just as Drake launches his solo career with a summer tour and a starring role in "College," to be released March 2008, he's working with Mattel to help kids make their rock star fantasies come true. The plug and play learning system makes playing the guitar as easy and fun as playing a video game. It looks just like a real electric guitar, but features color-coded finger position buttons on the frets and abbreviated strings, perfect for small hands.
