I played guitar, when I was six or seven, so I have forgotten all I once knew about the proper fingering of notes. I'm sure not having that ingrained in my brain helped me and hurt you. You really have to disconnect all thought that this thing that is shaped roughly like a guitar has any relation to the real thing.<br /><br />What frightens me is the possibility that some genius will develop and sell as an actual musical instrument a smart "guitar" that uses this very simplified button systeml; ya know, for the wannabes out there. That would be the end of music as I know it.euphronyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172917663193820131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-16638422658958417352007-01-06T12:54:00.000-08:002007-01-06T12:54:00.000-08:00However, intrinsically the game is fun if you igno...However, intrinsically the game is fun if you ignore the music and play it like you would a regular Mario game.Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-47994651377117727352007-01-06T12:51:00.000-08:002007-01-06T12:51:00.000-08:00It would be the equivalent of saying,

When you play the game, a real Shakespeare play is taking place on the screen. You wear this vest and a microphone and 'quack' every time hamlet is supposed to speak his line. You quack, the line is spoken on screen. From normal Joe to Sir Lawrence Olivier just like that in a few quacks!!!"Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-42043146468361026462007-01-06T09:00:00.000-08:002007-01-06T09:00:00.000-08:00I too, play guitar and also look like a total idio...I too, play guitar and <i>also</i> look like a total idiot playing that stupid thing. I played it with a bunch of guys who were musicians, and we all sucked, except for Mark, Audio Adrenaline's singer, who can't play a single chord on the guitar. My four year old was really good though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-83039758925354213302007-01-06T06:31:00.000-08:002007-01-06T06:31:00.000-08:00I saw some researchers talking about this, saying ...I saw some researchers talking about this, saying how playing "Hero" can make your brain develop in ways "like playing a musical instrument."<br /><br />Uh...how about ACTUALLY PLAYING A REAL GUITAR, FOLKS?<br /><br />Sheesh,<br />BrantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
