You'll appreciate this if you've ever played Guitar Hero - Rush YYZ on Expert and he gets 98% with a 423 note streak.

Even if you haven't ... you might find it funny!

Just watch to the end ...

Great skillz! Hey, how about picking up a real guitar and learning how to play it FOR REAL? Huh? Huh? Then you'll have some real-world skill and you'll be able to actually truly impress people.

Playing a video-game well isn't impressive. It's actually quite sad that you've spent all that time learning and practicing something that has zero value other than mindless entertainment for yourself alone.

But hey, who am I to judge...over the course of my life I've wasted more time doing idiotic things than constructive things. So more power to him! Rock on, fake guitar guy.

Good redemption at the end there Goofball!

Everytime a Guitar Hero video gets posted, someone *always* jumps in with a "why don't you play a REAL guitar, loser!" type comment, which really annoys me for a few reasons... one of them being that he may well already play a real guitar better than he plays Guitar Hero.

Besides, Guitar Hero opens up the world of musical instruments to lazy kids who play video games. Learning to play the guitar is a very steep learning curve and kids with short attention spans will see little results until they've been playing for some time, so often the boredom threshold kicks in and they give up. Guitar Hero gives them some easy to obtain goals and rewards with their "fake playing" technique. This gets developed, along with their hand-eye co-ordination and rhythm & timing, all of which are important when playing any musical instrument.

So, to cut a long rant short, I think that games like this actual increase the interest in playing the guitar rather than detract from it. It offers an easy route into guitars, while still being fun.

Thankyou antonye, that is exactly my sentiment about the game... exactly.

It even gave me a greater appreciation for skillful guitar music. I'd never deeply enjoyed, Megadeth for example, before this.

i'm going to start every conversation for the next week with, "What's up, Internet?"

i don't believe it's a "sport" per se, but there's a lot of money to be made in video game competitions... it's not all for nothing...

then again there's rock/paper/scissors comps too, so who knows...
