I suck at Guitar Hero.

yep, i suck at this game. my wife got it for me for christmas this year and i gotta say, there's never been a game that depresses me more than this one. i'm a drummer...i've been one for 18 or 19 years. this game is all about rhythm, and coordination which is a must have for a drummer. at it's easiest drumming is having to use all four limbs in different rhythms, simultaneously. and if you can do that...you're good. i can do this...without thinking about it...it's second nature. so this game comes out and i'm thinking...i'm gonna be really good at this...it's rhythm! i get it, throw it in, battery up the wireless guitar, and begin. my 8 year old nephew bought the first one when it came out so i asked him about it...trying to be a hip uncle...and chuckled at me and said "yeah, i got it, beat it in an hour and put it away it was boring." i was thinking WTF? this is the hardest game i've ever played! now not only do i feel old...but i also feel like an idiot cause i suck. either way, it's a great game and i totally recommend it to you and/or your kids..it's definitely cool. the best upgrade from I to II is that you can play with a friend...one rhythm guitar and one bass...totally cool. if they could just add on the drums and karaoke at the same time, kids could have a full band!
