LOL I didn't even know YYZ was on GH! tss tuh tss tss tss tuh tss tss tss tss tuh tuh. Truly a musician's song of the 80's.

He's only 14; give him time. Hell, I didn't get into Genesis until I was around 15 or 16. I'm 18. :)

 you do realise the games are still fun right?  and im a guitarist saying this.

Funny! guitar hero misses the point!

Fret boards require a bit of brain power for two hands. This is the same brain power that you lose if you don't use it. Guitars make your mind work because of all the different types of finger details for both hands. Its called dexterity and the brain after lots of practicing those finger hand strumming movements gets to know those without too much thought(automacity) Like a gymnastist does things over and over and over, the mind takes care of  the practice and allows you to take other harder challanges whilst they're airborne. That's very important as you get older and making more brain movements and connections (synaps) is great for you personal space and self esteem. Ask all the older guitarist who feel good about playing what they want and they just pick up a guitar and rattle off 50 tunes without even being worried. I know guys who can put lead breaks from five different songs into the one song because they don't even think about doing it . The brain power takes over.

Guitar hero is just a bad habit and like e-books coming in big time now, people will read them and then somehow, later on in life, discover real books with hard covers and say I found out that I like reading from old books in libraries.
 Does anybody remember laughter?

Be a real Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero can be fun to play but I agree with you. You can lose the whole effect of playing a real guitar. I challenge the creators of guitar hero to play some of the songs on a real guitar.

 You can't play guitar if you play guitar hero, and you can't play guitar hero if you play guitar. I obviously like the real deal as much as I like leather backed books, which is a lot. The interesting thing is that the songs in guitar hero aren't the real thing, the creators played them on special guitars hooked up to computers. My nephew likes guitar hero, bleck.

 you have no clue what your talking about bro

This is only true of the first GH game. GH2 and above, as well as all incarnations of Rock Band and Band Hero all use the original tracks recorded by the artist.

i could not agree more with you

 SO TRUE!!!!!!!

guitar hero and rockband suck and people who are obsessed with guitar hero and rockband are just wannabe rockers

yep. i have a rockband game but it sucks, and ive only ever used it once

im totally with you man

but it dosent go in music it ges in games or teck

They do have bass! Their version Guitar Hero on Tour Decades allows you to play rythem/bass. I play guitar hero and the real deal guitar. I just like guitar hero because I can listen to my favorite songs and "play along" without having to really think about what I am playing.

i know! i just bought a fender jazz bass and wanted to know if ther was anything special i needed to know about removing the pickguard cause im gettin a new one for it

true

I feel your pain.

^^^^notice i capitalized Van Halen and not lil wayne, his name doenst deserve to be capitalized

SAME!, along with the altoids guitar..

whats wrong with the altoids guitar though?

same

I concur. 5 buttons is nothing like six strings.

I play guitar, and when I'm limited to 5 buttons, not however many notes there are on a guitar (130ish?), I suck

same here, and theres too many sounds to count on the guitar

i agreee

I concur! Should have put in one of those effect pedal builds here instead.
