RB and GH is "Simple Simon" shaped like instruments. Not that there is anything wrong with that, because they are games. But this is a far cry from learning the ins and outs of a guitar, an amp, a foot petal and effects. Setting up a "real" drum set, learning how to keep a beat, using a sound board or an actual microphone. Can playing a game actually lead to playing an instrument; yes. But it seems a lot of gaming sites are looking like haters with their comments. This article points its jab with the word "elderly". If I was Jimmy Page, and I didn't believe that that this product would truly help young musicians learn to play an instrument, why would I hand over my master tracks for the gaming companies to convert me and my band into to some lame ass avatar. Maybe these "elderly" musicians hope their music alone is enough to inspire upcoming musicians.
