Everytime Guitar Hero comes up on this site you get a bunch of people coming in telling people to learn realy guitar and that guitar hero sucks. It's annoyed me so much that i thought i'd write about it.
Guitar hero has never been seen as a substitute for guitar. The people who made the game never claimed it to be that, it is the people who have called it that. The game is meant to be fun and a way to experience the joy of playing music. I do play guitar myself, i have been playing for almost 4 years and i enjoy playing guitar hero because very often i will master a song on guitar hero and get so pumped doing so that i would put down the controller and pick up my real guitar and learn it.
Guitar hero never has been and never will be a replacement for the real thing. I think that people who think otherwise are just wasting time by telling the world how they feel about the game. it's simple, if you don't like it don't read any news on it or comment that you hate it. If you like it, show your love for it if you wish. If you play guitar hero but don't play the real guitar i feel your cheating yourself and you should pick up a real guitar and feel the joy it brings. But by all means, do not stop playing guitar hero because it is a great way to get into music that is much better than the music today.
To end this i'd like to say that my little cousins love bands such as black sabbath, kansas, guns n roses and so on. How did they come to love these bands you might ask?? From a little game called Guitar Hero...
