| | | | That's ridiculous. But actually, the drums can REALLY help. The guitar and bass lines are not good indicators of the song at all though lol. When I was working at our local pool this summer, a kid came up to me during swim lessons, and told me he was good at boxing because of Wii Sports. Bleh.... |

Plus, I was taken to every concert that our local high school would perform to hear jazz and classical music. It forever shaped how I'd view music. I think that probably plays part in kids not understanding that the guitar is not played with 5 plastic buttons. |

It must be great to have enough years under your belt to start complaining about "the kids today." I can't wait. |

I can't wait. | I think Josh Homme and John Paul Jones said it best when they said that music is going through kind of a carazy business phase right now, and that it's happened before. Not having been alive for other generations, I can't really say that my generation is completely different, because I really don't know at all. It just seems to me that music these days isn't really looked upon highly. I mean, most of the music that people seem to listen to is created by computers. But again, since I've only been alive for a measly 16 years, I don't really know too much. |

That was cool, you really had to sing it right to get a good score. It was quite fun, and good practice. I am sure the guitar/bass parts are almost totally useless as far as really learning the music goes, except for understanding the rhythm of the songs.
