Seems that John Mayer has recently taken a disliking to the very popular rock series, Guitar Hero. John does not like the fact that the game was created to bring the guitar to masses and does not represent having any skill at playing a real guitar.

Jennifer Aniston’s bitter new man claims no game could ever match the enjoyment gained from playing the axe for real.

He tells Rolling Stone: “Guitar Hero was devised to bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it.

I agree with him in that Guitar Hero is not a real representation of playing a real guitar, but it isn’t supposed to be since it is a video game. The goal of the game is to make a rhythm based game that anyone can enjoy and yes make it accessible to everyone. Why would the game developers want to make it so complicated that only guitar geniuses could play?

This does bring into the light though the existence of certain individuals that do take rhythm based games like Guitar Hero and DDR far too seriously. You know the ones I am talking about that start to play the guitar behind their backs or do tricks on a DDR platform. These individuals deserve to be beat. Because you are good at stomping on flashing arrows does not make you a ballroom dancer and because you can rock out to Dani California on expert does not make you Slash either. If John is referring to this smaller subset of gamers, then yes I agree they are tools.
