Guitar games actually encourage kids to pick up real guitars

Why Bill Wyman is wrong about guitar games
Kids learn the guitar for two key reasons: to express themselves musically and to get together with some mates, form a band and attract a solid base of adoring fans. Rock Band is no use for either of these. Sure, there are specialist nights in bars around the world where you can play Rock Band and Guitar Hero on stage, but this is the instrumental equivalent of karaoke: although enormous fun for an evening, it's not going to bring fame, fortune or creative satisfaction.
It couldn't be said even more precise! I was always supporting the guitar games – they are just like kung fu movies, introduce the concepts of the real thing to the general audiences. But unlike kung fu movies, they allow the gamers to actually taste the thing – not the real one, but as close as possible. And it is good. I mean, I actually played that Guitar Hero thing – and it's fun. Not as fun as playing the real guitar of course, hehe 
But fun anyway! They introduce a lot of music to the average gamers. There is a limit in the guitar games though. You get good at it, you get even better, but then what? That's right, you pick up the real instrument, learn how to play guitar tabs and start practising the real thing
