Playing Rockband, Guitar Hero, Drum Hero, etc. to improve actual playing?

[dr.distance]

I don't care for the guitar part of the game too much, yung drums talaga ang benta dyan eh

yeah, its the "closest" thing to a real instrument experience the game has out of the box.
playing the guitar parts in Rock Band though helped me loosen up my fretting hand though, can't say for others but it did help in practice. It's not the same as fretting real strings, but I'm talking more of loosening up the fingers, coordinating the picking and fretting hands.

there are some songs anyway which are easier played on a real guitar than in Rock Band tho XD

i would still go and play the real instrument..than pressing those buttons..instead of playing that game,i'll spend more time in practicing the real thing..playing GH or Rockband wouldn't help you to reach your dreams..

kung guitar controller lang pinag uusapan then yeah, it's a waste of your valuable practice time, the drums on the other hand are a different story

Heck No. I suck at Guitar Hero.

Parang does Counter Strike make you better at firing guns. 

sole purpose ng military when they made the shooting simulation games would be to enable the soldier to get a feel for firing thier guns at supposed "enemies"

coordinating teamwork and to have them desensitized (so they would not have issues with killing people)

i suck at guitar hero to be honest
and it doesnt help with my guitar playing at all




i've been playing percussion freaks though since it started

it simulates a drum set since it is technically a digital drum kit

[levik19]

oo nga pala, isama ko rin nga yung percussion freaks. Madami ako nakikitang mga koreano
at koreana na adik dyan.

yup..cause the drum controller is the closest to a real instrument..

but for me..instead of playing that thingy..i will spend my time on playing my guitar..teka lang..dapat yung drums..sa drum thread..hehe

Asang mag-improve skills mo sa guitar hero at Rock Band.. Nag laro ako ng Rock Band sa Psp ko, pambihira ang hirap ng level ng Alive ng Pearl Jam samantalang ang dali lang ng chords nun pati yung kanta ng Ramones.. Asa naman kung gagaling ka dun kung puro colors lang makikita mo sa fret board.. Guitar Central nalang mas marami ka matutunan ingat lang sa Gas.. hehehe.

@TS:

IMHO playing Guitar Hero wont improve your actual playing..
but others will say it will practice your picking hand well, ryhthm and timing

Playing Drum Hero, IMO will somehow allows you to practice some drum rolls, as
well as the rhythm and timing..

Playing Rockband as whole, was designed for entertainment, familiarizing with
different music styles and artists..

In Conlusion:
To improve your actual playing skills practice with a true instrument..

[dark_7]

sa picking makakatulong to..?i doubt it..

[oiyTrEmOnTi]

for me it helps a lot for you concentration...i play guitar hero and only reach hard level..i cant go beyond that for some songs..hahaha

[nodumbadam]

Mas mahirap pa ata yung mga ibang kanta sa Guitar Hero controller kesa sa totoong gitara e.
