Original Intro:

Music fans across the world have been learning to play the guitar since ancient times. Each generation of guitar players has been different than the last becoming more and more unique each time. Today it seems as if things are changing a lot more. Some may say that guitarists are headed in the wrong direction with the new video game Guitar Hero. Playing a video game based on a guitar definitely will draw attention to younger generations, but maybe not necessarily in the right way. The interest of learning the real guitar will decrease with the popularity of these new games. The difference of being able to play a Guitar Hero game compared to a real guitar is like black versus white. The controller for the game has five buttons where a real guitar has six strings ranging from twenty two to twenty four frets. Also kids are getting into rock music for all the wrong reasons. They shouldn’t have to resort to a video game to find out music.

Revised:

Music fans across the world have been learning to play the guitar since ancient times with the only influences being other guitarists, or just what they have in their heads. Each generation of guitar players has been different than the last becoming more and more unique each time. Today, stars such as Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) say that the image of being a guitarist is headed in the wrong direction with the new video game Guitar Hero. Playing a video game based on a guitar will definitely draw attention to younger generations, but maybe not necessarily in the right way. The interest of learning the real guitar will decrease with the popularity of these new games. The difference of being able to play a Guitar Hero game compared to a real guitar is like black versus white. For example, the controller for the game has five buttons where a real guitar has six strings ranging from twenty two to twenty four frets. Also kids are getting into rock music for all the wrong reasons. They shouldn’t have to resort to a video game to find out music. The plain and simple fact is that Guitar Hero is hurting future guitarists.
