You are obviously so ignorant or 'up yourself' that you have failed to see the concept of the damn game. I can play guitar pretty good but I look foward to getting Guitar Hero 2 on April 16th (payday)

Only if you kill zombies instead of playing Dead Rising. Seriously, its a game. If I want to play this game, don't be bothered by it. Its not a big deal.

i play guitar, and i stilll say this is a great game to play. plus it will make u use fingers you may let slack once in a while. my little finger doesnt get used like it should, this game will bring its use back. (my little finger is very lazy and doesnt listen right when i try to use it when i play real guitar):twisted:

Some people just don't have the talent to play a guitar. A couple of my friends play the guitar, but I just don't have their talent. But isn't that the point of a video game? To do something you couldn't/wouldn't normally do.

Or you can just play both like me. They both are great fun but are completely different other than the shape actually.

NICE. See I myself enjoy playing Guitar Hero very much and as for your sports game comment i agree with that completely, lol. To many people are to lazy to go workout to be good so they can play sports, sports are my life then video games come in spare time. But ya your original comment thats just great. lol.

playing guitar is nothing like playing guitar hero. guitar hero is more akin to playing keyboard, but with strumming.

yeah. uve never played guitar hero. Sure, I guess that "one hour" comment could be hyperbole. But it takes a loooong time to "master" guitar hero. trust me, I know.

You sir are wrong.
nah,I'll play Guitar Hero 2 :)jdbthexboxgamr
You sir are correct. What don't some people get about GHII? Its the ultimate game, it lets you do something that many of us have always wanted to do but for some reason or another have never been able to. I'm a grad student heading into a big firm job soon, I don't have time to learn to play guitar, not only that, I can't walk into work with bloodied fingers from playing guitar all day (plus if they knew I was playing guitar all that much I'd just be given more work). Really tho, just try applying this same argument to other games. Why play Counter-Strike when you can just join the army and go shoot real terrorists? Why play Madden instead of going to an NFL training camp and getting picked up by a pro team... etc etc. Really, take these comments and shove it. Tho really, I smell a troll that just wants to stir the pot. Good job, loser.

lol i dont htink its much a troll attempt since GH1 and 2 is on ps2 so he cant be trolling as a sony fanboy and wii people just dont troll(not many) lol i play guitar and its been over 3 years and i still havent scratched the surface on what you can do on a guitar. Guitar hero is a quick way for people who love rock music to play airguitar in a cool way. haha gh is great.

Instead of playing Madden, learn to play real football Instead of playing Rainbow Six... join the army Instead of making topic like this just because you probably play real guitar and feel as if you are "cooler" than other people because of that (and most likely arent that good at guitar hero).... dont The one thing that annoys me the most (well... its up there on the list) is people that complain that guitar hero is "nothing like real guitar" or say that people should just learn real guitar.... guess what champ.... i play guitar hero as a GAME. Its like saying people that play DDR should just learn to dance for real. They are loosely based off actually doing the activity they are almost actually simulating. So say something like you should just learn to play real guitar is stupid as most people dont want to learn real guitar... real guitar is not fun to play, i know i started a few years ago and didnt have any fun (opinion of course) but Guitar Hero is great.

I play some guitar already. Plus I play piano pretty well, which is just as versatile. As an interesting side note, I can tell from my experience with the guitar that Guitar Hero exercises similar muscles in your fingers as a guitar would.

I've been playing guitar for a few years now. Let's just say long enough to play what I want. I thought GH was for losers who can't play a real guitar who are intimidated by the real thing. After playing GH at my brother's the other day I changed my opinion slightly. GH2 is fun, but playing a real guitar is more fun and more rewarding. And seeing how GH is about 100 bucks, you can get yourself a cheap guitar for around that much. I got my first guitar from a pawn shop for around that much

 

While the game is fun, I won't ever spend $80-$100 for a plastic guitar to play songs I can play already. it's not like you are checking out the guy on screen either since you stare at the fret board the whole song, making graphics moot. So techincally GH2 is just GH1 with different songs?

 

i play guitar, and i stilll say this is a great game
to play. plus it will make u use fingers you may let slack once in a
while. my little finger doesnt get used like it should, this game will
bring its use back. (my little finger is very lazy and doesnt listen
right when i try to use it when i play real guitar):twisted:BikerPunk

 

You probably need to stop playing the same songs over and over and test yourself learning new material. Pentationic scales, blues scales, chord progressions and so on. Most people learn a few Nirvana songs and start reading some tabs and think they know enough but end up with a worthless pinky and stiff ring and middle finger.

On Guitar Hero, you can learn about 20 songs in an hour.  On a real guitar, it will take at least 20 days to master just one song.  It takes much more time and dedication, and honestly, I don't have that much time.  THat's whay I gave up the real guitar.
