Guitar Hero II (Activision) places you in the role of a guitarist in a touring rock band. Through the use of a specially-designed, guitar-shaped game controller, you shred your way through 50 popular classic rock and heavy metal songs, trying to nail the guitar part for each. The game can clearly be a lot of fun for musicians and non-musicians alike, but does actually playing guitar provide an unfair advantage, and can it make you a better guitarist?
Most of the kids and teenager who ask for guitar lessons have been motivated by playing the game.
Therefore I decided to base all guitar lessons – for those who want to rock – on Guitar Hero. Using a visual method, and, step by step, including music theory, note reading and all the vocabulary and grammar needed to become an accomplished guitarist.
The very first benefit from Guitar Hero is through a required attention to rhythmic detail. Most songs involve quirky rhythmic figures that, in order to successfully complete, need to be learned. In many cases, younger guitarists have trouble internalizing some of the rhythmic aspects of playing guitar, and in these situations, Guitar Hero indeed helps them grow as a musician.
Additionally, Guitar Hero may help newer guitarists conquer the challenge of playing songs with multiple parts. As songs progress from verse, to bridge, to chorus, etc., the guitar parts often change dramatically. These different sections usually require some preparation to be able to move smoothly from part to part.
Traditionally, newer guitarists have trouble playing songs that involve multiple transitions from part to part – they get too wrapped up with what they’re playing now, and can’t think about what’s going to happen in four bars. Guitar Hero II may help these guitarists learn to look ahead, and anticipate changes in the music.
The benefits to guitarists aside, hard rock fans will find a whole lot to love about Guitar Hero – it’s air guitar brought to a whole new level.
