Do real guitar players like GH3

Not at all. Atleast not real guitar players who play classic rock. I'll give you a perfect example. If anyone has noticed a lot of teenagers have been getting into bands like Kansas, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin (I know they aren't in the game), The Who, ect.

I have had people come up to me and say "HEY DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT SONG "PAINT IT BLACK" BY THE ROLLING STONES?!?!" My response is "Yes, of course, where did you hear it?" "Guitar Hero" said the other guy. Then I asked him if he could name 5 of their songs and he was puzzled. All of a sudden people start acting like they are classic rock experts after playing Guitar Hero. In my opinion Guitar Hero has ruined all of that music.

I have played guitar for 21 years. I stay away from GH. It does not appeal to me in the very least. Why?

Because I can really play

I play guitar. GH for me is fun, but i find it hard than playing real guitar. its something with the rhythm that messes me up. real guitar i feel the rhythm, but on GH its just like robots pressing buttons..70sdude

Exactly!That's how I was.It's like it plays to the beat of the drums more than the guitar.It was harder for me as well.I'd be playing to the rhythm but I'd be strumming when there were no buttons to push.

BTW I'm not knocking it totally.I mean there were other people there that were having fun so it serves a purpose just not for me.8) lol

lol, same here, i play a guitar like an average guitar player, not like a real rocker and i find myself only doing exercise with my fingers to make them faster on gh, its fun but i personally got bored so i sold my gh3

I do play Guitar and i have for nearly 20 years now (off and on).

I love guitar hero absolutely love it. However you should take it for what it is: a Game.

Its not an emulation of the real thing it does not play like the real thing it wont makke you learn the real thing either (even though i heard differently for the drum set of rock band). the plastic guitar is a controler just like anyother one shaped as a guitar.

But It a lot of fun!

thats not always true. Guitar Hero has gotten me into several bands i never would have found without guitar hero. Senses Fail, Rise Against, Weezer and so many more that i like knew but never really got into like the Smashing Pumpkins or Avenged Sevenfold or even Metallica

Interesting topic...

Well, I play guitar for fun as well, im not dreaming of becoming huge rock-star or something, it is just something that kinda makes me relaxed after long day at the office. Same actually with Guitar Hero, but i found that I'm getting a little bored when I play by myself (well, not anymore since i got some new DLC). I have friends overalmost every week, and every time we play guitar hero in co-op or whatever, and that IS fun.

I think, every mentally stable person can figure out difference between playing real guitar and plastic controller, as long as they have fun. Never actually occured to me that guitar players could be so pissed off about a game...

As for "I-have-playged-GH3-now-I-know-EVERYTHING-about-rock!!!" people... just ignore them. It pisses me off when person says he knows "Rolling Stones" and cant name 5 of their songs... but i usually ignore them because arguing with idiots is just a waste of time.

Ive been playing for for about 5 years now. I think that GH is alot of fun and its probably some of the best fun you can have when you have a couple of friends over

I have played guitar for 21 years. I stay away from GH. It does not appeal to me in the very least. Why?

lol well I would not go so far as to say pi$$ed off but it is frustrating because it plays nothing like a guitar so I have a hard time play'n it.I feel like I need to say it again.It's a fun game for a wile and the other people there liked it but I just wanted to know if other guitar players have as hard of a time play'n it as I do.Therefor making them not like it.There were three of us that could play a real gutar.Two of us tried and faild and the other didn't get it and would not try.I also think that they could make it play more like areal guitarin the future and it would be a good learning tool.

Same here. Only I have been playing for 16 years, but I agree. Just nothing appealing about it to me.

Dragonforce = lame and through the flames and fire is one of the cheesiest songs i've ever heard, even if it is a beast to master in real life, it's not entertaining. Sounds like theme song from an old tv show in fast forward.

You guys do know that Guitar Hero has nothing to do with emulating guitar right? It's a video game.

Good point! But do you really want new controller to have more fret buttons along the neck? For people who dont play guitar and have no interest in playing, this will be f***n' impossible:) Therefore they will lose any interest in the game, and that will result huge money loss and then actual death of franchise...

I would really like to try something like this... but then again, i may be one of thousands of players...

It also depends if persons learns to play real guitar before or after Guitar Hero. I think if someone tries guitar after Guitar Hero - he will enjoy both the game and real thing. If you play guitar for a long time and THEN try the game - yes, you may find it hard to play.

It's a gimmick. Durr-de-durr. [sarcasm] I served in the army, so I don't see the interest in playing CS:S or Call of Duty 4. [/sarcasm] I know how it's easy to assume "since I play guitar I don't need to pretend to play guitar on a videogame", but that's not how it really works.

thats exactly how i feel. I started out listening to classic rock and moved on to metal, and more rock music, and people do that to me all the time. One of my friends bought GH2 and I think thats the one with Lamb of God's Laid to rest, next day at school he wore a LoG t shirt and thought he knew everything about them and he couldn't name any other song by them. the same thing happened to another guy he bought GH and got an ironmaiden t shirt and thought he knew everything about them to but he could only name one song. and another time (yes i have a good number of friends that play GH) they did it with pantera and they couldn't name any other song other than cowboys from hell. which i thought was sad because we live in texas (pantera being from texas)

I've played guitar for five years now, and i played guuitar hero a few times at my friends house. It was okay, I definetly wouldn't buy it. But thought it was funny to see some of the people i know that are really good at GH act all bad A$$ when they're playing it.

I've been playing for around 12 years now (seriously, not on and off), and went to college for a degree in guitar performance. Gh is literally NOTHING like playing for real. and alot of the bands and songs on them are highly overated anyway, with a few exceptions. And I'm so sick of people freakin out over Dragon Force, acting like they're some new musical geniuses or something, all they did was rip off a bunch of black metal, and Neo classical metal bands who have been playing harder and faster songs for years, and yet because they have a pop viable vocalist everyone thinks their great. True Black and Technical Metal FTW!!!-Samael-

Dude, Dragonforce has been around for quite a while now... they were doing great before Guitar Hero... some people just like Fantasy metal (if its a real term:)), but then again... some people find fat people attractive, i dont understand that but its their choice and we should be cool with that. oh, and Through The Fire and Flames starts to sound annoying after 5 times listening - just my opinion.

LOL!!! No having a controller with the appearance of a guitar for GH is a complete coincidence. Why would they do such a thing. I have nothing against the series. Or Rock Band or any of them. And Mr. Darkside up there it's not about us being stuck up. Some people just have no interest in it. I happen to be one of those people.

That's cool and all, I don't care. You clearly avoided my point so I am not even going to argue about it.

Dude, I'm not even taliking about their popularity post GH, I'm talking period. They literally just ripped off a bunch of really good bands that get relatively little credit, because people are to busy listening to the regurgitated dribble that is modern music.Thats the way the world is

Sorry if I hurt your feelings dude we can't have thatand I know it's not a simulation. Just as I know GTA 4 will not be a drivers ed course. However, the original question was whether or not people that play guitar dislike gh3 or games like it. I think I was rather simple in my answer of no it does not interest me. It's okay though, I really don't hate you for liking it.

Can't disagree... But thats the problem - once the good band (in this case, the band that got ripped of by Dragonforce) becomes popular, it changes everything - music, lyrics and etc. It involves money, producers and bunch of other crapt that is completely irrelevant to the topic. But you are right - thats the way the world is:(

You don't think that they use the songs without the bands' permission, right...? >___>

Holy crap!! lol I just got home from work to check this and everyone is yelling at each other.lmao....This was not the point of the post but I must say it's very funny to read.I've always thought that if someone likes it and it dosn't hurt anyone then its cool with me.Yes even boy bands I just do not listen to them.I play a guitar because I like it.It is fun for me.I tried GH3 and it was fun for me but hard for me so the fun did not last.Guitar players are not downing your skills at GH3 because it is hard.I've tried it.I think the word that started mixing the real with the fake was simulation.It is not.I think thats all we are say'n and I think that is fair.We took the time to learn how to play guitar.So we know it's not at all similar therefor not a simulation.You took the time to learn how to play the game and you rock at it.Good for you and sucks for me because I will never be a Guitar Hero...um...Hero.I think if you were play'n BOOM BOOM Rocket there would be no conflict because guitar is not in the name of it.lets not ignore the fact that that IS what you are playing.BOOM BOOM Rocket with a controller shaped like a guitar.Guess what I own BOOM BOOM Rocket and I'm good at it.

You crazy kids and your video games.:roll:

I've been an active guitar player for more than 20 years.

I like playing Guitar Hero III, but it's nothing like playing guitar. It's closer to playing keyboards.
