Lisa Gutierrez, of the Kansas City Star, takes a look at Guitar Hero players compared to real guitar players:
"Guitarists and guitar instructors say playing the game and playing guitar have very little in common. Prowess on one does not translate to proficiency on the other. Professional guitarists, in fact, often find the game confusing."
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
I play guitar in a (pretty damn good band check my site) and can tell you this right now.. Guitar hero hasn't tought me anything. It's simon with better sounds. 5 buttons, in a line, on a plastic guitar doesn't cut it for me.
Now, there is a new device coming out with little shapes and stars and such and they're placed all over the frets, with 12 bars... and full octave useage to boot. That might be something to look into. Guitar hero is a passing good time. As I said, it's memory match/Simon for the pop culture kids.
I suck at both....but I have more respect for a "real" guitar player, but I do think some GH players are sick especially those who can play through expert on Fires and Flames...
KC!!!!HOLLA!!!
when I was the one who originally tipped it?!
That's jacked.
And guys, our first pick needs to be a new head coach! (and GM) Both can be found in Bill Cowher...in 2009. You heard it here FIRST!!!
Jesus christ people, let this whole Guitar Hero vs Real Guitar thing die already. Guitar Hero is a VIDEO GAME meant for FUNNNNNNNNNNNN. Not to be compared to real rock or whatever.
Guitar Hero doesn't teach you guitar......
But Halo, and any other shooter teach you violence and gun handling?
