4. Guitar Hero =/= Actual Guitar

Guitar Hero is probably the most fun multi-player game this side of Bishi Bashi (anyone remember that?). Sadly, non-guitarists think of it as the guitar equivalent of shooting blanks from a gun: that they€™re pretty much identical actions. Playing Guitar Hero is not the same as playing guitar. You might feel like a rock god and be a bit tired after doing some Dream Theater on Hard mode, but really you€™re just quite good at computer games. Equally, being good at guitar doesn€™t make you automatically skilled at Guitar Hero. At a push you might be able to respond to the notes better because you€™ve done some sight-reading, but sadly the chances are it won't help you beat everyone else the first time you play.

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
