Guitar Hero

Would be interesting to see how well a real guitar player does at this game.

Hey Slash, when are you getting a playstation? lol

I have only played on 'easy' so far. Had a look at 'expert' and don't think I will ever get to that level. Can't wait to unlock the next songs.

Lol I thought the same when I started playing it! Now I'm on expert mode and getting frustrated watching the family play on easy!

The coordination takes awhile, but once you build the strength in your fingers (especially on Medium where you need your little finger), you'll be away laughing!

Maybe that's what my problem is, my weak widdle girly fingers.
I was thinking of taking up the violin when I was a bit younger, glad I didn't, I'd have no mates! Think I was on the right track with wanting to learn the bag pipes, a whole lot of hot air required, that's me!

Do they do "Drum Hero" too? Now that I'd like to see people do...

lol, I wondered the same thing myself! Then someone pointed out that it would need too many pieces so it's unlikely they'd make it

I wonder how long it will be before you can buy it for a particular period, e.g. Guitar Hero 80's Edition etc.

is it just me, or does everyone feel compelled to say; 'And this week on Top Gear...' during the rendition of 'Jessica'?

If you really want to know, it's crap. Nothing like the real thing.
But then again, nor is MotoGP3.

If you want to play a guitar, play a guitar. I have four to choose from, lucky me.

If you want entertainment, its great. But its no simulator.

Ah come on grumpy! I used to play guitar and this is great fun!

Yep! same thing happens when I hear Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". I keep expecting Murray Walker to start getting excited about another boring processional (F1) motor race. (With apologies if any Kiwi's haven't the first clue as to who or what I'm talking about!)

haha I'm exactly the same!

Never tried it myself - vey unco, am I.. but at a party that hXc played at they had that.
hXc beat the lead guitarist and the rythym guitarist... not bad for a drummer!!

Yes, but you don't have a vintage Les Paul and a Marshall Stack.

lol didn't say it was. I was only wondering what people that actually play the guitar think of the game.

The game guitar only has what 5-6 buttons for the notes? Compared to how many frets and how many strings to make up how many chords or single notes? Then add in all the little things that make listening to a guitar solo so fun like bending the strings and such.

Yeah I'm sure it isn't meant to be used as a leaning tool or a substitute, but merely just for shits and giggles like. It is teaching me something about coordination and timing though (and patience ).
