Official Luthiers Forum!

Probably the wrong section to post this in, but I just thought it was interesting. Looks like someone found an interesting way to cash in on the Guitar Hero/Rock Band hype.

I can't play guitar hero. Tried, but I always try and play the "guitar" like a guitar, not a game controller. I've heard many pros say the same thing.

I've played it and "rock band" and must say they're very fun party games. It's a fun way to get everyone in to the action including the non musicians, switch around instruments (last time I tried to play real drums I hit myself in the face with a stick) etc.

It can be a bit frustrating on the upper skill levels because you can't do the same tricks you can on a real guit like hammer ons, pull offs, slides etc. but it is fun.
