8/10? Come on man! Think about some guitarists and compare yourself to them. Steve Vai is a 10. Are you saying you're almost as good as Steve Vai? And really, there is no comparison between a real guitar and a plastic one. You disagree? Well, try doing an arpeggio on the plastic one. Or even try doing some pinch harmonics. You clearly can't do those things on the plastic guitar. All you can do on the plastic guitar is press the buttons at the right time lol.
Other than that, it was cool seeing you play both. I enjoyed the video. But instead of telling your subscribers to get off their high horse you might want to take more things into consideration lol. I'm would be awesome to see you play some Pantera songs with solos. I personally gave up guitar years ago otherwise I would try to jump into this too. Stay metal Swag!
I like the way you tryed to compare the two in a scientific manner. My friends ask my the same thing sometimes that if you play guitar does it make you good at ghero, but honastly the two are very different, being good at one doesn't make you good at the other, they are hard to compare.
no doubt guitar hero is easier than real guitar and real guitar takes skill but for christ's sake its a fucking game. there are some people like my self who dont have the talent to play the guitar and its just fun to play guitar hero cuz its a game. so even if i could take the time to learn real guitar (which i dont have the time) i would still play guitar hero cuz its just fun so for all you "guitar hero sucks cuz it takes no skill" fuck you. to you too "guitar hero is harder than real guitar".
I get what your doing here, but you just cannot compare the both. I'm a guitar player myself, and it just takes years and years of practice to learn real guitar. And guitar hero is something you can learn in months/weeks or even days. And then we're still leaving out the biggest difference, musicality(!)... You either have it or you don't. And for real instruments that makes all the difference. On guitar hero you don't need it. Sure it's easier if u got rhythm, but not required.
@slaQ83 I CAN compare them both and I just DID. Let's be completely honest here, after about 3 months of guitar lessons, most people can play most of the songs that are played on the radio seeing as most of it is power-chords. Conversely, if you've never played GH or RB before, it would also take you months of practice before you could play this song 100% on expert. Both of these take a lot of time to get good at, so get off your high horse.
Eh, crap like Green Day is super simplistic and can be learned by some people very quickly. But I have showed people how to play simple songs like that on the guitar before and they were able to play them BUT they didn't in fact KNOW how to play guitar. If I would have asked them to demonstrate an arpeggio then they wouldn't know what the fuck to do. But I could give them a plastic guitar and they could catch on much quicker because it's just matching colors at the right time lol.
I agree. There's no way to play arpeggios and pinch harmonics on the plastic guitar. Knowing a song on a real guitar takes more skill since it's more than just pressing colored buttons at the right time. I highly doubt Swag memorized how to play the song on the plastic guitar lol. And even if he did he would look pretty fucking retarded standing there pressing the buttons with nothing but the sound of button pressing lol.
wow before even watching this video, or any other video for that matter, i was wondering to myself if you like bodom and i guess this video just answered my question. awesome
@pirakalord55 Oh there will definitely be more episodes but as far as how many goes, that all depends on how much time I have to make them. This video took a couple weeks to put together but I had a lot of fun doing it. As long as I keep getting inspired by good songs I'm sure there will be plenty to come.
That was fun & epic fight you just had. I really enjoyed this video. It was really well done.
Good job Swag! :)
I really would be the type of guy for Guitar Hero. I can do fast type of games like fighting games, but Guitar Hero could be problematic for me to play. These's "Simon says" styled games can get on my nerv or hurt my brains with speedy "look & press the buttons" info. :D
The whole time I was watching you play the real thing, I hate guitar hero and rock band, just learn an instrument like swag and me, it's far more rewarding.
@manikmista665plus1 Then you're missing the point of the video; it's not about what is personally more rewarding (as that is also very subjective) or what you think somebody should spend their time on. This is a direct comparison video from somebody that enjoys both and I try to be as objective as possible. People's negative preconceptions of rock band is something that I'm directly trying to combat with this video; it's a shame you missed that.
@SWAGshow I totally got the point of the video it's just that I think fake guitars have no place in a video game, I think guitar hero and rockband are two way over rated games of course this is only my opinion and don't want to push the subject as fact, but, I will clearly state that I do think it is a waste of time, when somebody says to me hey, I got 100% on paranoid from Rockband on expert level. well congrats, you are really good at pushing buttons.But If you like it thats good i just don't
Very good segment, buddy. You know, it makes me wonder whether or not playing games on Guitar Hero or Rock Band fully emulates the true experience of playing a guitar. However, you do the comparison quite well! I really liked the video, and I look forward to more episodes you plan to put out. =D
Interesting comparison. As a real guitarist myself, for some reason I will struggle with the timing of some tunes on Rock Band, when I KNOW the real song by heart. Not sure if it's cuz the plastic guitar is wireless or what. I've tried calibration

Please review the rock band 3 string guitar somewhere in the future of it's release.
Since that would be a lot better suited for this kind of comparison.
