    I believe comparing in any way, guitar hero with a true musical instrument is like comparing mediocrity to excellence. However, i've always by the saying "whatever floats yer boat".......its a shame ,ore people don't think that way.......rock on......

    To say people look silly playing this game just shows how big an idiot you are. The game is fun, period. It is not about me thinking I can play an instrument, it is about having fun.

    I can't tell you how stupid people look "pretending" they're playing an instrument. I saw some guys playing with "Rock Band" at the store the other day and just broke out laughing at how dorky they looked lol.

    Seriously, playing with these toys is not making music. Learn a honest-to-god instrument and stop taking the lazy path.

    Bringing the joy of music to others in this form is really cool. Who at one time or another has not done the air guitar thing. But if you want the ultimate joy of playing guitar or any instrument, pick up the real thing.
