Guitar Hero Vs. Guitar Hero

About 10 years ago my friend claimed he had never been able to play the guitar.  That no matter how hard he tried he said he just couldn’t get the hang of it.  Over the years he tried and tried and tried and eventually gave up trying. 

Present day- Friend gets his hands on the guitar hero video game  and tells me how jealous he has been that he cant play like me.  Im not that good really but I can hold a tune and I was fairly confident I had the co-ordination to hold my own if it came down to a duel.  Anyway,  he says he has been practicing on guitar hero and wants to challenge me to a game.

I was up for it even though I had never played the game before so he gave me a walkthrough of the controls and when and how to hit the controler and then we started the game.  I could’t do it, it was too hard.  He kicked my arse so bad it hurt!  Turns out he can do every level on expert.  I wondered how great a guitarist he would have been if he had spent his time practicing a real guitar instead of that silly guitar hero game.  Probly fucking awesome.
