scram 1 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 The sad thing is, with that kind of dexterity and right/left hand coordination, he could probably play a real guitar very well, but I'd bet a dimebag that he can't. Link to post Share on other sites

After I saw my friend playing this game I realized if he had spent the same amount of time he did playing the gameon actually learning guitar, he'd be able to play by now. The game is a lot of fun, but not as much funas playing guitar. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, you guys know there are real guitars, right? Never made any sense to me. But then again, when I played guitar I made a concerned effort not to learn how to play like old zepplin songs or stuff like that... so like, learning how to play Reign of blood to begin with never did anything for me, but learning how to play reign of blood on a video game is really beyond me. His performance ( as it were) was still quite impressive, from a videogame standpoint, however. Link to post Share on other sites

I have been playing guitar for 19 years. I have all 4 Guitar Hero games as well. There is a big difference between the both. I know friends who play guitar better than I could ever dream of and they have a terrible time playing this game. I don't get into the game like these kids but it is fun to play when friends are over. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a game, it's nothing like playing a real instrument. Link to post Share on other sites

This video shows someone doing something that I would venture a guess that not even 1% of GH players can even come close to doing. But comparing this game and the skill it takes to play it compared to learning how to play a guitar is laughable. Link to post Share on other sites

No one picks up a real guitar and learns to play in ten minutes.You can do some basic things in 10 minutes on Guitar Hero, but you can't master it that fast. At least I couldn't. And I'm sure it took that guy in the video a lot more than ten minutes to reach that level of proficiency. With a real guitar I could have you strumming a chord in about ten minutes. Regardless, my point wasn't to compare the relative difficulty of learning these things; it was just to say that if you took the amount of time spent playing the game and instead put it into learning the guitar, you would have some ability on the guitar that you would find rewarding.

It's sad to see people like that waste their talents becoming proficient playing Guitar Hero when, I believe, using those talents to play a real instrument is something much more valuable and profound. Of course, he may be a beast of a real guitarist and just applied his gifts to GH, but I'd lay odds against that. Link to post Share on other sites
