The End For Plastic On Guitar Hero?
Although I have played all of the guitar hero games and own a fair number of them I cant say it has ever inspired me to play.
The digital guitar is coming soon and it can acess the guitar hero game without cables and plugs, it can also be attached to the ipod meaning that you can rock out to some of your favourites without anyone hearing. This is going to be great for all of those people that love playing guitar hero but really want to get playing the real thing.
Many artists have refused to put their songs into the game because they think people should be spending their tiem tryign hard to learn the real thing. As you can now do both the artists really do not have much to moan about anymore.
These guitars never need tuning either because they are digital which means any guitarist can just pick one of these up and start rocking to their favourite tunes and there are so many different modes on this guitar that anything is possible and it can of course be used as a real guitar if you are in a band. Although I do not think that people are just goign to drop their guitars and buy one of these I would say that if you are unsure you should at least give it a go to see what you think.
They already do many other digital instruments such as drum kits and they haven’t really kicked off at all, it really remains to be seen if this will kick off a trend and bands will start using these instead of other guitars.
Personally I don’t think it feels the same as owning your own proper guitar and belongs with other electronic instruments like the DJ equipment.
