hi,

I can't run it, my Labview Version is 2011 but i think this program version is 2012!

Please save 2011 format.

Thanks,

There you go, I've attached a version suitable for LV 2011 as well.

Nice code Shalimar.  Hows about adding keyboard features so you can play more notes?

I was thinking the same thing! Great UI and it's impressive how simple the VI is!

Using the keyboard to represent frets would be an amazing addition.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I'm definitely going to be implementing frets and chords into the piece as soon as I get a chance to, any other suggestions would be great!
