Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual reality musical experiences are disclosed herein. An example method includes generating a virtual reality avatar of a musician and a virtual reality guitar, receiving input from a first controller that is indicative of a neck hand position of the first controller relative to a virtual neck of the virtual reality guitar, as well as input from a second controller that is indicative of a strumming hand movement performed using the second controller, adjusting a neck hand position of the virtual reality avatar, within a virtual reality display, in response to the neck hand position of the first controller in real-time and a strumming hand action of the virtual reality avatar, within the virtual reality display, in response to the strumming hand action of the second controller in real-time.
