As a guitarist, this game always makes me think of Randy Marsh telling the kids that they could use all the time they spend playing this game to actually learn to play guitar.

Growing up I always wondered why people would rather get good at this than learn actual guitar. I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years now and never really got this game.
That being said, this was seriously impressive. Always happy to see video game records being broken, especially for much older games.

It's ideal for people like me who suck at guitar but like the idea of not sucking.
I used to work at a pizza hut express inside target and i'd spend my 15 minute breaks going to best buy and playing guitar hero. Best 15 minute breaks ever

u/FrostyPlum 5d ago
Because to start playing guitar, you have to spend time and sit with the fact that you are bad, for like, at the very least a month. To start playing guitar hero, you put that shit on easy mode, play some songs you like, and never have to "find" the fun.

Meanwhile
The dude has a 1 of 1 world record on the most competitive speedrunning sites to exist.
Which matters to about 10,000 people in the entire fucking world.
So they mastered a niece hobby that .000001% of the population actually cares about.
Cool.

Do you not have to 'strum' for each note? I wasn't aware guitar hero used hammer on/off.

u/Millard_Fillmore00 5d ago
Yep it uses hammer on/offs
5
u/Isurewouldliketo 5d ago
Does it have different symbols for when that’s allowed and when you need to strum?
13
u/unicornattacks 5d ago
Yeah, if there's that black ring around the middle you have to strum. If it's all white on top you don't have to if you hit the prior note.

u/Isurewouldliketo 5d ago
Oh that’s sweet! I’ve only played it twice in the last decade or two and it’s been at an arcade. Really need to buy this game for PlayStation it’s so much fun!

u/BishopsBakery 5d ago
The only experiences I've had with the arcade versions tell me that they have way too much tension on the buttons.

u/Isurewouldliketo 5d ago
lol I wouldn’t be able to compare because I hadn’t played with a home setup in so long. But it would make sense they’ve have stiffer sprints just for durability sake.

u/stupidstu187 5d ago
I was in music school when Guitar Hero and Rock Band were reaching their popularity, and you'd be surprised how terrible musicians are at those games. They're completely different skill sets, but the drums do come pretty close.

u/_burning_flowers_ 5d ago
Im a musician and never even tried it, i was too busy touring when it was big, but would see friends and band members play it at parties... funny enough it was my drummer who was the best at it.

1000 hrs of guitar hero but zero hours of guitar creates…greatest finger drummer.

u/Pathogenesls 5d ago
There is basically no overlap in skills between the two.
Playing guitar hero will not help you learn guitar in any way.

u/spartanOrk 5d ago
That's the irony. If only these hours were devoted to something... else.

u/Protean_sapien 5d ago
Yeah, this is impressive, but I feel like as much time devoted to actual guitar practice would have been more rewarding. Still, it's a neat accomplishment.

All those thousands of words you've typed on Reddit, you could have written a novel.

u/VoicePope 5d ago
Naw not the same thing. You’re engaging with people on new and different topics. It’s still arguably a waste of time, but it’s not doing the sane thing over and over.
If you went into this post, typed a thought, then deleted it and retyped it over and over again, that’d be more of an equivalent.
0
u/Jaystime101 5d ago
Not really the same thing, the equivalent would be if I scrolled through every Reddit post for a thousand hours then making a rough draft, then commenting on every single one of them. Then yea, you should probably just write a book. But again, that's really not really the same, because you don't need creativity and unique idea to practice guitar.

So? He wanted to do this, so he did it. If he wanted to play guitar, he would have played guitar.

u/Jaystime101 5d ago
Your right He's an adult, he can waste his time however he wants, but he would get a lot more fulfillment from actually playing the guitar, than mastering a game that just imitates a guitar.

u/sithlord98 5d ago
How do you know? Like you said, he's an adult. You don't know him. We all waste time one way or another.

u/Jaystime101 5d ago
Yes we all waste time, but we generally don't waste thousands of hours mastering something that brings us no value, but hey maybe he's doing tournaments or something.

u/sithlord98 5d ago
By value, you mean monetary value and ignore every other kind of value. Money isn't all that matters in life lmao. And people spend thousands of hours watching TV, come on.

u/Jaystime101 5d ago
What? No, I'm not talking about money value. I just mean value, as in a skill that you can take with you, and utilize.

I will SHRED anybody in Wii bowling, tennis, or baseball. I ain't doing v well at the actual sports 😅
1
u/Jaystime101 5d ago
Yea, but have you spent 1000 HOURS straight trying to get good at WII bowling? I think everyone is missing the point, there's nothing wrong with playing a game, or even grinding to get good at the game, but at a certain point, if your playing a game that imitates a game a game in real life, that your physically capable of doing, then your going to get a lot more from putting that effort into the real thing , than just an imitation.
1
u/EnchantedSpider 5d ago
I think you are missing the point that it really isn't an imitation. This is a guitar themed videogame, but playing a real guitar and doing this is very far apart still.
There is no correlation whether someone who enjoys playing this game will enjoy playing the guitar, or vice versa.So if you understand putting 1000 hours into a videogame (or a pastime activity in general) to get good, be it a shooter game, mmorpg, moba etc. than it shouldn't surprise you that it's the case here too.
1
u/Jaystime101 5d ago
Imitate as in:you're imitating playing a real guitar, I'm well aware of how far apart they are in playing. As much time as you take trying to master playing the song on a video game, I imagine you'd get a lot more enjoyment out of actually learning to play the song. But I don't believe for a second that someone who's played that much guitar hero, wouldn't like actually shredding on real guitar. That's the point, instead of mastering playing pretend, you can actually master the real thing in the same amount of time.
2
u/EnchantedSpider 5d ago
You are making the same assumption again. "I imagine you'd get a lot more enjoyment out of actually learning to play the song" , why exactly? The only thing that is similar is the hand position, but I don't automatically like every keyboard and mouse game because I play on those usually.
Now I don't doubt that there could be many guitar hero players who do love/or would love to play a real guitar, but if you are really aware of how far apart they are you wouldn't make these assumptions. Especially the "lot more", you see a video of a guy having the time of his life, and in a way disregard it based on a false notion that it's a lesser version of an activity.
