Because if there’s a DOOM mod to be imagined, somebody is going to imagine it, modder and YouTuber DOS Storm has managed to play the game using the input from a Schecter Hellraiser Deluxe electric guitar (nice choice) to control the character. Heck yeah, shred those undead hordes!
Basically, DOS Storm converted guitar notes into MIDI files using Dodo MIDI 2, then mapping those MIDI files to computer keystrokes using loopMIDI and MIDIKey2Key. Then, you just play different notes to move the character and fire his gun. In the video, he manages to complete the entire first level the classic FPS playing entirely with his guitar. Impressive, but a speedrun it was not.
Is playing DOOM with an electric guitar practical? Of course not, but it does look fun. Now, if it turns out you can beat the game by playing the entirety of the guitar solo from Stairway to Heaven, that would be one heck of an Easter egg.
