    Help -> About isn't it? Alternatively, paste

    Code:
    javascript:alert(navigator.appVersion)
    into the location bar and hit Enter.

      I can see the guitar and can pluck the strings and record, just lack sound, in FF. FF is pretty solid as a rule.

        Quite probably, but I didn't find the help menu/button in IE, but never mind, I'm not planning on using it aside from for the guitar.

          It is pretty fun though, one of the best things they've done so far.

            Works OK in my Firefox 3.6. If you're getting everything but the sound, you're probably using a Flash blocker - do you have AdBlock or some similar plugin installed? If so, you'll need to whitelist Google and reload it to give the Flash (guitar11.swf) a chance to initialise.

              It was FlashBlock.

              For those who are wondering how to get to it to be able to turn it off:
              There's no sound with the Google Les Paul guitar doodle, but I have sound with everything else on my computer. - Web Search Help

                    Yup, been playing guitar and bass for 25+ years. My fave instrument: Fender Strat USA Plus Deluxe
