A MUSICIAN has struck a chord with Call of Duty fans after posting videos of him playing the game by using a PIANO as a controller.
Reddit user grooviehoovie hooked up his PC to an electric keyboard, mapping the keys to the moves of his in-game character.

Clips shared to the popular website on Tuesday show the tech whizz racking up kills on battle royale shooter Warzone using the bizarre setup, Eurogamer reports.
Grooviehoovie says he trained with the clunky system for a month before he was able to play the game properly.
“It was a terrible idea, but I did learn a lot and improve a decent amount from it lmao,” the pianist said.
Unsurprisingly, some of his adversaries look surprised at his jolty movements, which make it look as though the gamer is cheating.
Writing in the comments under one post, grooviehoovie admitted that it looks as though he’s using a piece of software known as an aimbot.
Aimbots aim for the player to make them better at the game using artificial intelligence.
“It looks like aimbot because I’m using button presses to aim, and my program doesn’t have an option for smoother mouse movement,” he said.
“If u look at my right hand, I’m using D to look left, F to look right, G to look up and B to look down, along with C# and F# added to look left and right more quickly.”
Having now mastered the technique (sort of), grooviehoovie has a few tips for anyone wanting to try an unusual aiming system.
“The best tip I can give is to make a routine, stick to it, and push through the training regardless of whether it is enjoyable or not,” he said.
