Guitar Hero doesn’t discourage musicianship

Blog

Just written an article for this week on CNET about how, as a musician, I don’t feel Guitar Hero destroys musicianship in the ways a number of people, including South Park, claim.

It’s not the first time I’ve heard people claim that Guitar Hero discourages the learning of a real instrument. But these games are really just about rocking out to some popular songs, and can never replace creativity. They actually act as an encouragement to learn the real instrument and express yourself, and as a musician I don’t think that sucks in the slightest.
