A dream shared by many - myself included - is to become a rock star/pop star. For the more genuine among us, this is borne from a desire to show off your talent in front of as many people as possible, and not necessarily about fame and money. To go even deeper, there's some sort of connection that forms between musicians when playing together - it doesn't happen every time, but when it does it's as close to spiritual as you can get.
And so, with this in mind, we see the meteoric rise of the X-Box games such as Guitar Hero and now Rock Band. Instead of a guitar with strings you have four buttons you have to press in time with the music, and this gives you the sound of the chords. Sounds fairly straightforward, but the more complex arrangements demand hours, days, even months of practice to achieve the legendary status of Guitar Hero.
So my question is this. Why don't these kids invest all that time in learning to play real instruments?
