Ha ha ha ha ha .

We really are too nerdy to live, there should be some sort of special compound for us, or maybe we should set up our own.

By the way, I am singularly impressed that this thread has set off a lets guess the riff by the guitar tab competition. Apparently it doesn't help you learn guitar other than in the sense of improving hand/eye coordination etc BUT if you end up good enough on the drum set to play it at expert level then it means you can probably play real drums quite well.

One of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant of some kind, never considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die.

I've seen these guitar games, and I have a PS3. But I'm also a guitar player (self taught - not bad). I've always thought that I wouldn't get on with these games. Any fellow guitarists have a view?

While only being a decided amateur, the thing to realise is that it's just a game. It doesn't really 'simulate' playing a guitar at all. It's just a fun dexterity challenge that happens to be set to music.......

I agree, although the game is fun, it really does not simulate playing a guitar.

I have often wondered if those who enjoy playing the game dedicated some of their time to learning to play a real guitar, there could be a hell of a lot of new bands around. Is reading and playing along with this any harder than following guitar hero on screen?

A Jaffa Cake to the first to name the riff.

And what if some of the driving games actually taught them some driving skills along the way: like having schools you had to drive past slooowly and little old ladies you had to miss? My eldest got a real guitar for Crimbo, but then he seems to have out grown console games for the moment; he's found girls. Or at least they have found him.
