Well I was going to make a cd with all of Aerosmith's singles on it and it was going to take up like 6 DVDs or something like that. So its not like there is a shortage of songs.

It's not the playing, it's the hardcore practicing. It's fun to play, but when it's all you do is play and play and play, not for fun but to just be better than everyone else and thinking that it means somehtign to be good at guitar hero. You need to chill out. so your talking about world of warcraft. or halo. or any number of xbox live games where people play nonstop to get on some high score or achievement list. whats the whole fucking point of multiplayer playing than to try and be the best when your with your friends. or online or whatnot. no one likes to lose. look at goldeneye. or halo. or mario kart. or mario party or any game that has fucking multiplayer. people dont pick up a controller and become good. you practice. jesus. to get better you have to practice. your describing world of warcraft more than guitar hero.

I actually thin GH is pretty fun. But some people's point of view. I do know a lot of GH "gurus" that have an elititst attitude about the whole thing (not that this doesn't happen with any multiplayer, because it does).

I guess I just have a different attitude though. I like to win just as much as the next guy. But fun is my number one objective and winning comes second. What I hate (with any multiplayer, or really anything competitive) is when you have some guy who is awesome and makes everyone feel like crap (not just breaking balls, but rather being a total dick) because they aren't as good, but when somebody comes along who is better, they are a sore loser and want to take their ball and go home.

But I do know what you mean. It seems like there are a lot of guitar players who want to say, "why not just play the real thing", even some that say, "this is stupid, its not even like playing a real guitar". But then I have a couple of friends that play the guitar that love GH and play the hell out of it. So that complaint really doesn't fly with me. Playing GH wouldn't be anymore of a waste of my time than playing a real guitar would be.

I'm okay at GH, I guess. Well I can do real good on 4 buttons. I start struggling with 5. Then on the hardest I can't even fihish a song.
