Hahaha, nicely done.
I'd also like to point out to any of you that are confused- being able to play Guitar Hero does NOT mean you can play guitar. Please stop approaching me at my own gigs to smugly announce you can do Dragonforce on hard.

Sorry, a game is better than a live instrument?
Please tell me I've misunderstood you.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:07, archived)

no, better than all the guitar hero and rock band games

I could never get past the next (final?) level

you get to play the Legendary Theme in full on rock mode at the end
it's better than sex

ah, I checked and I meant Zowie, after that one :)

This looks like the best game in the world ever.

you can pick up the old PS2 version for a fiver in Game if you're lucky
the PSP version is equally good
( HappyToast sorted on, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:22, archived)

I broke my PSP
playing that :(

I didn't go to sleep that day until I unearthed my PS2, the PS2 version and clocked the entire thing in one session.

I don't think I'd be any good at it. I'm blessed with the worst hand-eye co-ordination ever.
I give up 5 notes in on Guitar Hero.
( Ghostwriter oooooooo ooo ooooo ... *scribble*, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:29, archived)

Simple solution....
1. hand them your scruffy backup guitar
2. say, 'go on then'.
( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:08, archived)

Nah, I don't play six strings. Who am I, Joe Satriani?!
:D

I'm a bassist, I can hardly bitch about lack of musical prowess....
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:09, archived)

I know, I did consider putting 'Bass' instead of guitar....
My inner pedant though is quick to point out that a bass guitar is still technically a guitar...

Joe Satriani - technically astonishing, but his playing seems to lack feel or soul, if you know what I mean. I'd rather listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn or Buddy Guy, personally.

( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:13, archived)

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
technical ability amounts to shit all in my eyes - I went to see Paul Gilbert do a guitar workshop a couple of years ago and he's technically amazing, but there's a bit of soul there too which was good. Nice guy too.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:14, archived)

I'm technically inept
but I have loads of soul.

blimey
there's a name I haven't heard for a bit! Did he demonstrate the electric drill thing he used to do with Billy Sheehan in Mr Big?

Lacking either technical ability or soul, I'm reduced to playing 3-chord punk where my woeful ineptitude is masked by distortion, volume and anger...
( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:21, archived)

He did, I think! It was a couple of years ago.
He did some... stuff too. What's the name of his new band? Anyway, them. They played some stuff.

I've no idea!
My knowledge of music is wedged firmly in the mid-to-late eighties.
I've no idea what's happened since then.
( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:24, archived)

Some great pop
a bit of good dance
a tiny bit of good rock

Nothing really of note.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:25, archived)

hee hee!
That's a very succinct guide to the last 20-odd years in music!
( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:30, archived)

My memory kicks in around 1988
and I paid attention!
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:32, archived)

aw come on
guitar hero's harder than the bass ;-)

Hahaha, How sad
I wonder if people every go up to Jackie Chan and tell him they're ace at Tekken.
( riverghost It's Sprooooooooutmaaaaas!, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:10, archived)

I'm only ace if I can use Eddie Gordo.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:11, archived)

I can play the real guitar but not Guitar Hero.
I like to announce this at the top of my voice when I fail miserably at the latter.
( An Eagle in Your Mind, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:18, archived)

'It's harder when you can actually play an instrument'
I have been known to mutter this.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:21, archived)

me too
'cos when you play it on easy they miss out notes and penalise you when you play them.

I shouldn't complain really. Sadly I suck at GH a lot less than I do at real guitars.
