Guitar Rising

I'm pretty sure this is where this goes, but if not...feel free to move it.

Apparently there's a game in production set to be released at the end of 2008 called "Guitar Rising". It's much like Guitar Hero BUT with REAL guitars.

Check it out: http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/02/guitar-hero-for.html

 

Probably meant to be in Kick Back, but whatever, here works.

That'd be pretty sweet, not sure how it'd catch on though.
The point of guitar hero is for people to think they're good when really they aren't.

 

Thats what I thought. But this will shut those elitists up that keep saying "Play a real guitar!"

 

Like me?
Not that I'm claiming to even be a good guitarist or anything.

But if it helps people learn, it could be great.

 

Oh, of course. I'm not against learning real guitar. I wish I could play real guitar but Guitar Hero is still loads of fun.

 

Guess that is the point of a game...

 

And this is how I will finally be able to learn guitar.

As opposed to going on msn, and asking Astat like a billion questions every night.

 

Least I can be assed to play the real thing again. I failed the first time.

 

This will either be good or bad.

...

 

woot, Already knowing how to play makes me stoked

 

On the plus side, do you have any idea how ridiculously easy it would be to mod new songs into that game?

but then people would get into arguments that the songs aren't 'tabbed right.'

 

Finally.

 

I actually REALLY like this idea.

Especially considering I've just taken up guitar.

 

A ghost moved my thread!

 

This looks very cool. But by any guitar I suppose they only mean electric guitars right?

 

Too bad it's not 'Bass Rising'.

Well guitar's good for me, now i can sorta get good at the thing.
