They were absolute classics; at least II & III were. I loved them back when they were seriously underrated 
. Anyways, Rock Band is the way to go. Abuse me if you must, just for liking these games, but I'm just saying.

Finally. I have had to put up with 'Guitar Heros' for years now. I was a well known guitar player in my high school and many of these kids would talk to me as if we were fellow musicians. When I asked them what kind of music they play and how long etc they often say 'oh well I play a lot of Guitar Hero'

Which is doubly ironic because I used to spend a lot of time "schmoozing" bands in my old job. They were ALL s**t at Guitar Hero. Non-transferable skills it seems
Guess some people just can't take the heat in "the business".

Why would the skills be transferable? A guitar has a number of strings, and a fretboard that provides many thousands of possible combinations of ways to touch the strings. A Guitar Hero controller has a "strum bar", five buttons corresponding to five ranges of notes, and (on the more elaborate controllers) five more buttons that can be used for HOPOs. (Rock Band 3 introduces a controller that uses strings that sense which one has been hit, and has 102 buttons on its fretboard; this one can be used to introduce new players to the basic concepts of guitar playing, but still does not give anyone mastery of the guitar.)
I recall seeing the band Rush attempting to perform their own song, "The Spirit of Radio", in Guitar Hero. They failed out in the first verse, because a Guitar Hero controller is in no wise like a guitar, other than its general shape.
(That being said, for a "dead" game, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock has been awfully lively on my XBox this past week...)

See I wouldn't be adverse to Guitar Hero if it was a decent way of actually learning some real guitar techniques. Might also give it a bit more longevity. Though you couldn't actially TELL anyone it was a "learning game" because learning isn't cool.

Oh, I see - you're this guy...
Seriously, it's like hating on the Halo series because the controller doesn't work like a real assault rifle. That's not the point!

No. I hate Halo because its on the Xbox, and the Xbox is a POS.
