I had a first generation Guitar Hero Guitar Controller which I have had and used since the first release of Guitar Hero on the PS2. When my PS2 died I bought a PS2-USB adapter and used it on the PC for Frets on Fire and yesterday is the day that it has passed on to shred fat solo's in the sky.

I went into the city (an hours drive away) in the hopes of finding a controller, but with the release of Rockband 3 and the new Guitar Hero Game no one has any stand alone controllers anywhere. I would of had to buy a bundle with a game I didn't have a system to play it on for $65.

So I went to Amazon and picked up a Rock band Guitar Controller for $25 including shipping, but it wont be here until the 17th, so I will have to content myself playing real guitar which I have sadly come to discover I have forgotten a ton about in my 5 years of neglect in playing it.

This has made me decide that for every hour I play Guitar Hero or Rockband, I will also have to spend an hour playing my actual Guitar.

:D

I had to replace a guitar hero world tour controller the other day, so I went into my car and pulled out the guitar hero 3 bundle I bought on clearance for 12.50 two years ago.

Well now you know why you bought it. It was sitting there collecting dust, just waiting for just such an occasion. :P

To be honest as someone who has been playing guitar for 14 years I would rather just jam. The games like rock band and guitar hero are ok but they just are not the same as actually rocking out. So kudos to you for picking up the old axe again. Honestly i would ditch the game and just jam for 6 hours a day. Thats how I got good when I first started playing.
