Best Google Doodle Yet

This playable Google doodle guitar has kept me up way past my bedtime. So cool! And, you can record yourself (click on red button on black box). Designed to honor the late Les Paul's 96th birthday. Good job!

PC Magazine posted how to play "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles (click here to listen to a much better version than I have been able to accomplish so far):
After toying around with the Doodle for a while, Chris figured out which keys corresponded to which notes. The Doodle works on all four rows of the keyboard starting at 1, Q, A, and Z. On the A row through the semicolon, you can play an octave plus two notes. With that knowledge, Chris set out to play something memorable. A Beatles song was a logical choice.
 
Starting on the A-row, the left plays fifths on A and G. The right hand comes in with ; K L ; K ; L K H ; L K J. For a moving bass line during the melody, the left hand plays F A F A G S G S. The right hand then plays H J K L ; K L ; K ; K L ; K L ; K L ; K ; L ; L K. Then there's a switch to G H K L G K L G K L G K L G K L J A J. A chord comes in with A D K ; and then the left hand bass is A G (x4) F A (x3) S H (x2) A G (x2) F D S A G. A D K ; is the final chord.
Thanks, Chris and PC Magazine!
Try it. It's fun!

in my case I choose Pac Man doodle, in where you can click the doodle and play the classic game Pac Man, do you knew that Pac Man's name was Puk Man, but was change for the obvious reason that some people could change the P for a F.
