I always wanted to be a rocker deep down inside so you'd think this would appeal to me, right? Now is my chance! WRONG! I feel like it's a cop out! I agree, learn it on the REAL thing. You may never really BE Slash, but isn't that really ok? Nate, I am so with you!!! I always wanted to be a rocker deep down inside so you’d think this would appeal to me, right? Now is my chance!

I agree with your thoughts here. RB is pretty fun. My roommates dig it too. but nothing like the real deal. It's a sad day when any person young/old thinks the incredible musical talents of so many bands/individuals can be almost effortlessly replicated through some plastic toy. Sad to not know the difference. I learned the guitar on my own 6-7 yrs ago after i got saved. i wanted to play worship songs. but if i were younger i'd want to be in lessons as you mentioned. People should get their kids in music somehow. you play? Blessings to ya man. I agree with your thoughts here. RB is pretty fun. My roommates dig it too. but nothing like the real deal.
