Admit it, you want to rock it like a hurricane but you have taken exactly zero minutes of actual guitar lessons. On air guitar, however, you could sink a small island.

Announced at CES, Jada Toys is coming out with the Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker toy ($29.99) based on Activision’s Guitar Hero game franchise.

Set to be on shelves March 2008, the toy includes guitar pics and a big belt buckle that connected to a (wearable) mini-amplifier. To rock on, you simply swing a pick in front of the belt buckle to “play” 10 different guitar riffs: Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man,“ Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,“ Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades,“ Van Halen’s “You Really Got Me,“ Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” and five original Air Guitar Rocker riffs.

The device also includes audio output ports so you can connect it to external speakers. Following the toy’s release, the company plans to release more belt buckles and “Air Cartridges” with additional riffs.

Check out the Air Guitar Rocker in action below being played by air guitar hero, Nitrous Roxide.
