Virtual Air Guitar is NOW!

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight
and I've been waiting for this moment for all my life"
--Phil Collins, In the Air Tonight

Yes, the Finns not only rule the world air guitar championship, but they've also figured out how to make the world's first virtual air guitar. Brilliant guys over there doing the most important research I can possibly imagine. As Zac "The Magnet" Monro once said. "Air guitar can save your life." Now, here's help.

Here's the video.

TOP 25 AIR GUITAR SONGS?

I need your help, oh Vanity Air readers! I am compiling a list for my book about the top 25 songs for competitive air guitar. Now, keep in mind, this is for the stage, not the bedroom. Let me know what you think. You can post without logging in...

I realize 25 songs is a lot of songs. Please tell me your top 5 at the very least!

Thanks,
Bjorn!

Make Donald Trump Play Air Guitar

This is what technology was meant for.
