So, I received a PS2 and Guitar Hero for my birthday. It didn't take long for me to accept that I won't be leaving the library to join a rock band anytime soon.
I just started practicing at the very beginner levels this weekend. One of the songs I'm tackling is Cheap Trick's hit Surrender. The good news is that I have been improving slightly each time that I play it. Now I find myself this morning, listening to the radio during my long commute, hearing that today's pick me up song in the morning is what? You guessed it - Surrender. That's when the first signs show themselves. Without realizing it, I am concentrating on Rick Nielsen's lead rather than my usual focus on singing badly with Robin Zander. I'm visualizing the strumming on the guitar controller. What's happening to me?!
I won't even get into my experience with beginning DDR. Let's just leave it at, "Um, I don't think my feet can move that fast!"
If you have any pointers for a true beginner with either of these games, please share. Let's be honest - I need all the help that I can get!

So I can put you down as one of the entertainers for Staff Day right!
Tom
Yeah right!
Does the Staff Day Committee have liability insurance for hysterical laughter? Is the Gong Show making a comeback? Do I want to be the #1 humor video on You Tube when Chris captures it on video?
I don't think so, but thanks for asking.
hahahahaha!!!! It took me two years of guitar lessons to realize I just wasn't going to be the next Stevie Ray Vaughn!
I think you should do a webinar and use the jammin' to teach - It should be called FluffyJo's Jams!!
I don't normally play video games, but I have to agree that Guitar Hero II is the greatest thing ever!
