# 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.

# 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.

# Simple solution....
1. hand them your scruffy backup guitar
2. say, 'go on then'.

# 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....
(I helped save b3ta! 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.

# 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.

# 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...

# 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.

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

Nothing really of note.

# I can play the real guitar but not Guitar Hero.

# 'It's harder when you can actually play an instrument'
I have been known to mutter this.

# 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.
