Girls' Generation Fun with Google

Hey all,

If you have not noticed yet, Google is celebrating the birthday of Les Paul, guitarist and inventor of the solid-body electric guitar. For the occasion, Google has created one of their patented doodles on its home page, one that not only looks like a guitar, but plays as well if you move your cursor above the strings. In addition, if you press the record button (if you live in the United States) or the keyboard button (for any other country's Google website) below the guitar, you can use your number keys to play. If you live in the United States, you can record a song, and a link will be made at the end of your recording session, which you can then share with others. When using the number keys, 1=do, 2=re, 3=mi, and so forth, all the way up to 0=high mi.

We here at Soshified Writers thought we'd have some fun, Girls' Generation style, so we transcribed some popular Girls' Generation songs for you to play on your Google guitar. Because the guitar has no sharps or flats, some notes may seem off, but we tried to substitute the closest note possible. You can also click on the link to hear what it sounds like (only if you're in the United States. Sorry  ) Regardless, see if you can come up with your own transcriptions or pieces, and feel free to share them below in the comments section. Enjoy!

(Note: If you cannot see the guitar because your timezone has passed midnight, try a Google website from an area that has not gone to June 10th yet, such as Europe as of this writing (www.google.de) or Samoa (www.google.ws). Of course, once the guitar's gone for everybody, you can still use the notes on any instrument you'd like.)
