Those who want to play instruments but have at home no longer have a space for them can start using video games. The video site YouTube has launched an interactive channel that allows users to “touch” them online, called InstrumenTube.

The idea boils down to a simple series of videos where a single instrument is played so that every note fits perfectly with the red timeline video. After fully charge, click on the timeline, in places of the notes you want to create different sounds or songs.

Although impractical and restricted to only a few notes, the videos are a good hobby and an interesting way to discover the sounds of each instrument. Available to be “touched” are piano, guitar, bass, bass and rattle (which, instead of notes, offering different speeds).

Another way to have fun with the site is to mix the instruments, playing them at the same time. It is a creative possibility to assemble a “band online.

There are no classes to teach aspiring musicians, but who already have some idea will not have great difficulties to “compose”. The site reports that, soon, new tools are available.
