It's not really like playing guitar...but it is a lot of fun and can be as addictive as real guitar.

My kids wanted that game...I handed them a real guitar instead.

The most it has in common with musical skills is timing and hand-eye coordination. It's a game that's custom-designed to have a guitar-like experience. But it's so well done that guitar players will "get it". But that doesn't mean you'll have an advantage. When you loose playing Freebird to some little kid (who's played the game before), you do tend to get more competitive. Although, I had heard about it for months, I played it for the first time the other night. It's flexible enough that 7 to 57 year olds can have a blast. Nobody played on any other setting than Easy; there's Medium and Hard settings and tons of other advanced options. You really have to experience it to appreciate it.

Already spend too much time with my real guitars. I think she is jealous of the time I spend with 'my girls'.

I tell you being creamed by some little kid in public is not good for the old ego!!!!! As John says, it has absolutely nothing to do with playing real guitar other than co-ordinating approximate fretting and strumming motions together. At the end of the day, if this game can inspire kids to listen to guitar music I am happy. If it gets 'em onto a real guitar then I am ecstatic!

It's funny but they see them as a rival or threat when we give them(guitars) too much attention.

I can already feel a "Wives vs. Guitars" thread comin' on. Russellhodgson Username: Russellhodgson Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2007 - 2:29 pm:    Good Game! Ibnzdad Username: Ibnzdad Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Sunday, March 04, 2007 - 9:41 am:    I forget what song it is but my son said playing on the hard setting on the game is tougher than actually playing the song on guitar.
