Air Guitar



Air Guitar is an emote. It requires the player to unlock at least 500 songs in the RuneScape Music Player, and features the player rocking out on an air guitar, and even plays 5 notes when activated. The player must have been a member to have unlocked the number of music tracks required. However, a former member can perform this emote on an F2P world if said player has already fulfilled the 500 track criteria. This is one of few emotes with audio, along with Beckon (when used with a piece of the Builder's costume), Skillcape, Trick, Freeze and Melt, Dramatic Point, Idea and Around the World in Eggty Days, that it is only the user who can hear the sound. The Air Guitar emote is needed to complete the Ardougne hard Achievement Diary.

A Cape of Accomplishment, instead of an emote, was the original plan for the reward for unlocking 500+ music tracks. An emote was decided instead.

Trivia



 * While performing the emote, in the background you can hear an electric piano and drums playing steadily.


 * Mod Mark recently replied to a user's question on the forums saying that "they had imagined there was a music cake" but instead this emote was released along with a clan chat talk saying "the music cape would be too hard to get".
 * This is generally accepted as the second hardest emote to acquire, next to the skill cape emote.
 * Many role playing enthusiasts who play RuneScape, complained that the emote was too modern to be in the game, and that other players disrupted the Role Play by using the emote
 * There is a glitch when Dungeoneering was released where you could unlock air guitar with only 463 music tracks. This was fixed the next day.
 * With the release of Dungeoneering, it is much easier to achieve this emote, since there are dozens of tracks throughout the floors. This caused some controversy among players who worked weeks to get the emote through quests and traveling.
 * There is a glitch where if you perform the emote as you pass through starting guards, the white notes and music will appear, but you won't do the actual emote.
