playing guitar hero is as hard as playing the real thing...why not learn to play the guitar?

1. Because it's cheaper and more convenient

A decent guitar costs a lot more than a video game.

And you'd have to get lessons.

Same reason some people enjoy Flight Sim games that don't actually fly.

2. Guitar Hero's harder than guitar for a guitar player.

I get my ass kicked every single time.

I can smoke any of my kids friends on a guitar but they kick my ass on guitar hero
