They can step right in the shoes of their favorite rock guitar legend and play in front of imaginary huge crowds. Best of all, they do not have to be a virtuoso guitar player in order to do this. However, they do need to get the hang of the Guitar Hero game. Unfortunately, some have a tougher time of it than others. This leads them to proclaim that "Guitar Hero sucks". No, it most assuredly does not suck. You just need to take the right steps to develop a little proficiency with the game.

If you are having a little trouble with Guitar Hero, here are a few tips that can help you improve your game play.
For some individuals the game Guitar Hero "sucks" because they are not any good at it. Often, they are not any good at it because they have ridiculously high standards for themselves. They assume all they need to do is pick up the guitar and start playing like a pro. Well, it usually doesn't work like that as human beings are prone to making mistakes. If you make a few mistakes when you start and you sound more like a villain than a hero, don't worry about it! Sure, you will trip over yourself when you start playing. This is not a crime! Simply be fair to yourself and allow enough time to work out your trouble spots and mistakes.
Try to play when you really feel like playing. This is known as playing when you are in the proverbial mood. You do not want to force yourself to play a game when you are not up to it because this will take a lot of joy out of the experience. Of course, this may lead to wonder how you can stay motivated. Here's a tip: don't pack the guitar away. Leave it in plain sight so that it never becomes falls into the "out of sight out of mind" category.
Always look at the positive benefits associated with playing Guitar Hero. Now, some will say what can be so positive about playing a video game. Well, have they ever thought about how Guitar Hero can increase a person's appreciation for music? Or how it can increase critical analysis skills? Yes, there are many huge positives to Guitar Hero. You just need to delve a little further to find them.
As the old saying goes, people are your best resource. That means it may be helpful to jam with other Guitar Hero aficionados. You may discover new tips and tricks that you didn't know. Guitar Hero is not a strategy game centering on a definitive win or lose scenario. Guitar Hero is much like playing an actual guitar in the sense it is an art form. As such, you will need many different perspectives in order to develop the insight needed to be a true champion of the game.
Of course, in order to do this you need to avoid the know-it-all attitude. People who possess such an attitude never learn and never grow. However, ego comes into play and they are unwilling to learn or try new things. Don't fall into this trap. It will be your undoing. When this is the case, Guitar Hero really will suck.
Practice, practice, and more practice is always the key. You can only get better at something you do often. This is true of developing your talents with Guitar Hero and pretty much anything else.
Play by yourself a little. This means when you are alone in a room with no distractions, play the game, and listen for the little nuances. Yes, it is helpful to have the feedback of others but you also need a little introspection as well. And when you do play, play with passion. This will bring out the inner "axe slinger" in you more than anything else.
No, Guitar Hero doesn't suck and your game playing should never be anything other than enjoyable. Simply follow these tips and you will find your game play improving dramatically. That is a guarantee!
