Rock Band & Guitar Hero Options

[dabutcher]

Anyone know if Live ever plans to put some of thier songs out for either of these video game franchises? It would be great plus they would get more exposure and extra $.

I've never played Guitar Hero or Rock Band.

I feel like if a gaming company is going to go all out and sign contracts with major artists, develop special controllers, etc. to make their game as realistic and fun as possible, why not just make it REALLY realistic and develop a game/controller that ACTUALLY teaches you how to play a real guitar?

If there was a video game that allowed me to play the game AND learn to play a real instrument at the same time, I'd be all over it. I'm actually quite surprised this hasn't happened yet.

Already in development. Have to look back into it...But there is a game that teaches you chord by chord, fret by fret....until you are fluid enough. Then it gives you a simple song to play.
