Show HN: Guitoro, a virtual guitar you strum with your keyboard

Guitoro is an online virtual guitar that can be played with a computer keyboard or touchscreen device, free of charge. It offers a realistic experience with real guitar recordings for each string, strum, and fingering. Users can choose from steel-string acoustic, classic guitar, electric guitar, or four-string bass. The virtual guitar shows the hand movements and finger positions for each chord and strum, mimicking a real guitar lesson.

It supports various guitar techniques like chords, arpeggios, single strings, chucks, palm mutes, bends, vibrato, and can be played at different speeds. Guitoro provides a backing band for playing along, making it easy to learn and enjoy songs like Wonderwall, Hallelujah, and Let It Be.
