Guitar hero is fun, yet the achievements (at least for guitar hero 2) are pretty much impossible to get. I'm referring to the 400K and 500K achievements... I haven't even seen anyone get remotely close.

the 400k one is pretty easy on the X-Treme song. 500k is a different story.

I think if you play guitar, it makes you worse at regular guitar, because it's not as complex.

Thats like saying Donkey Konga makes drummers worse at being drummers since its easier. I'nm a drummer and can tell you its still fun

Freebird on medium can get you the 400K achievement and the 1000 note streak achievement if you play it perfectly, which is relatively easy once you can play the harder difficulties. At the very least, the 500 note streak achievement is a breeze so long as you hit every note in the slow beginning part.

Guitar hero rocks. And I have no intention of picking up a real guitar. Thank you!

It's definitely easier to play real guitar than play Guitar Hero. 132 frets > 4 buttons

I have this problem. The songs miss beats and leave parts of songs out, and that keeps screwing me up.

Funny comic, but there are idiots on both sides of the battle. Losers who think that just because they're good at Guitar Hero they can now rock out on a real guitar, and snobs like in the comic.

Your ability to play guitar hero doesn't cause women to get weak at the knees, but your ability to play the real guitar certainly does.

I can honestly say...playing guitar does not make you more attractive to women. It's a falicy that men made up to increase their chances.

I started playing over 20 years ago and got a band in high school to pick up girls. We got fairly popular, but you know what happened? All the "girls" would dance with the other guys while we were on stage, then end up leaving with them before our set was over.

SO: Guitarist: 0 Guy that can dance: 1

duh, you don't play on stage. you play to specific girls, more personally at a house. of course, that means you first got to get them over there, but after that your gold. :)
