Hello,
Today's Google home page has an interactive guitar in honour of Les
Paul. It makes sounds when you 'strum' the strings.
I was wondering what technologies Google used to create this incredible
element. It does not appear to be Flash ... does anyone know.
Thank you and kind regards,
HTML, CSS and JavaScript of course.

Yeah, I was blown away and can now play happy birthday and other 3 chord
songs without even picking up the guitar. Looked like flash but no, looks to
me like all dom programming
Strings must be hit areas toggling animated gifs and triggering mp3s -
framework? - no - or something or something -
It uses the html5 'canvas' tag as the basis.

The guitar does not make any sound in IE7 (at least on my machine) ...
perhaps due to IE's lack of support for canvas ? I would have thought
that Google would apply a shim ...
Perhaps not, since they're apparently about to phase out support for it:

The sound is done using Flash (there's no audio tag).
That explains it.
If you got the notes and the triggers, it's pretty simple.
