I’ve been slinging rock guitar since the late ‘60’s and REFUSE to play that game.

It’ll f**k up my real playing something awful, I fear. Besides.....I’d keep reaching for strings, frets, etc......

My boys, on the other hand...........addicted (again, except the one who is a REAL bass player; hmmmmmm.......)

Lol you’d probably be good at it if you just did it.

Oh, I agree. If I could actually play a guitar, I’d never touch it. But now I can pretend... you actually get quite a rush...

I have heard that most real guitarists are not very good at it.

Although I guess Slash, Tom Morello and Dave Grohl are all fans since they appear in the newest game. In an article about it Tom Morello did say he hoped they made him better in the game than he really was.

It is hard to be Guitar Hero if you are an actual guitar player. It is a whole different animal! LOL!

As a guitar player myself, I worry that Guitar Hero is the beginning of something horrible. It will give people the ability to shred without ever taking the time to actually learn how to play. Mark my words, GH will be used to make the next generation of fake, talentless popular music. Oh, the humanity!
