How much is playing "Guitar Hero" like playing a real guitar?

Question

Obviously, it's not the same, but how close do the songs on the game come to how their supposed to be played in a real guitar. Just curious.

Answer 1

Im pretty sure they are far away. The closest thing they do is where you have to strum the string.. Think about it, guitars have 6 strings and all differnet combos of ways to hit the strings. Hold top 2 not middle to last one.. My dad played a few times and said that playing the song on a real guitar is easier...

Answer 2

Have you ever seen the little plastic toy guitars with the thumb switch near the "bridge" that play nursery rhyme songs in time with the movement? Well, that's about how close "Guitar Hero" is to playing a real guitar.

Answer 3

a little like playing the guitar but not worrying about all the strings
on the guitar
