This is a very popular game that wanna-be guitar kids are really getting into these days so don't laugh. Even my students play this game and love it. Where do you think this new level of "air-guitar" is leading us? Does it make us better or worse overall? Have any of you ever played this game? What do you think about this type of approach to music appreciation?

I am a very boring man indeed, but before Christmas I was at a large toy store buying gifts for the family and a dad was playing this in the store!!! (on a demonstration games consol) around him his kids were looking very embarrassed and asking him to "leave it alone now please dad" He spent the whole of War Pigs re-living his youth with no shame while everyone walked past looking on in mild disbelief.

And then

He played another song which I think was "Paradise city"!!!!! those kids must still be bright red with shame

T

ive only played it once, and they put it on expert mode and played the hardest track on it (This might be GH1) which was, coincidentially bark at the moon. i gave up after like a few bars
