This is just an aside in the article, but I had no idea that Rock Band 3 was going to feature something much closer to the real instruments. I've been wondering, ever since I played the first Guitar Hero, how long it would be before it was possible to learn a real instrument in this manner. If it actually works, this is awesome. You can transition smoothly from trying to get high scores in a fun video game to playing the songs for real.

- sliverstorm 16y agoFingers crossed that Rock Band 4 will support guitar pickups, letting you use a real instrument. It might actually be possible.
- te_platt 16y agoI wrote a prototype "Piano Hero" that used the midi out from my piano keyboard. Instead of the notes coming down I had them come across the screen laid out on a staff like standard sheet music. My kids use it for piano practice and it seems to help develop real piano skills.
