Videosift: Contributing to your short attention span.

No!! I haven't really guys ....I was just foolin' around??!!


Siftbot's fault for not remembering my short attention span!!!

Good redemption at the end there Goofball!

Everytime a Guitar Hero video gets posted, someone *always* jumps in with a "why don't you play a REAL guitar, loser!" type comment, which really annoys me for a few reasons... one of them being that he may well already play a real guitar better than he plays Guitar Hero.

Besides, Guitar Hero opens up the world of musical instruments to lazy kids who play video games. Learning to play the guitar is a very steep learning curve and kids with short attention spans will see little results until they've been playing for some time, so often the boredom threshold kicks in and they give up. Guitar Hero gives them some easy to obtain goals and rewards with their "fake playing" technique. This gets developed, along with their hand-eye co-ordination and rhythm & timing, all of which are important when playing any musical instrument.

So, to cut a long rant short, I think that games like this actual increase the interest in playing the guitar rather than detract from it. It offers an easy route into guitars, while still being fun.

....is this cute enough for ya cuteaholics out there on the short attention span video highway???

mmmmmmm mmmm! I want my hossenfeffer!!!

Hey Joe, why don't you post "Mamacita", from the same "handsome donkey" guys? Since it's a music video I think it might be more successful with the short attention span crowd.
