The guys who have it on my guitar forum love it. If you are a musician it gets difficult over the years to maintain practice routines, this for any of is great incentive to continue to practice. For new folks its a very simple way to learn especially compared to when i started playing 25 years ago.

Everyone has said the game is well made glitch free. the only beef that a lot of us players have had is the initial song list is a bit weak but we all know that will change.

im getting mine this weekend.

Cool...thanks SPH for the info. I bought the bundle yesterday and am quite excited to start. I had a guitar many years ago and took very general lessons but now want to get back into it. I think this game/tool seems to be the best thing that hopefully will encourage and help me get back into it. I just spoke with a co-worker of mine who indicated he was on it for hours last night. So I'm encouraged with what I am hearing.

I just bought this today and I'm really enjoying it. Even though I'm already a guitar player, I'm still finding it hard to be perfect in hitting the notes because I'm not used to staring at a TV screen while trying to play a song. This is good practice though and I can't wait till more songs get released. I'm a Smashing Pumpkins man myself.

My brother wants this game. He has 2 or 3 guitars so he will just need the game.

Yeah I have my own guitars as well (around 6) so I just bought the game and it comes with the USB cable. $79 total. I might buy another cable to play with 2 players. the cable itself is about $29.

I'm still waiting to get my guitar setup

. But I'm going to be all over those Pearl Jam songs.
