Addicted to Guitar Hero® or Rock Band®?
I’m horrible at Guitar Hero, the couple of times I’ve tried it at Kmart. However, I have cousins who love the game, and have gotten pretty good at it (not quite as good as this 8-year-old, but : )
Guitar Praise (similar to Guitar Hero® or Rock Band®) is now available for the Computer!
Product Description: From the creators of the hit game Dance Praise comes Guitar Praise! You can grab the guitar and play along with some of Christian music’s top bands. Pretend you’re right there on stage with your favorite bands as you handle the guitar controller and play the notes they’re playing. Or you can add your own unique sounds as you shred those riffs or blast the bass by using the whammy bar. Watch out, though–if you can’t keep up, the artists stop and take a break, and you’ll have to start all over!
You’ll get a USB Guitar controller (requires 4 AA batteries that are not included), the CD-ROM Game, wireless adaptor, and guitar strap. To play, press the fret buttons and strum on the strum bar in time the color-coded cues as they scroll across the screen. If you tilt the guitar at the right time, you’ll activate spinner bonuses for maximum points. There are 4 different levels, so beginners can start slowly, while experts will have their fingers flying as they use all 5 fret buttons while playing the chords and burning through the riffs!
Guitar Praise supports 2 guitar controllers so you can play alone or with a friend. Each player can play the same track, or one player can play lead and the other play bass. You can even send surprises to your opponent to mess with their playing. Keep score and earn enough points to get a new guitar with richer sounds and different effects. Best of all, this game has over 50 songs from some of today’s top Christian artists like 12 Stones, TobyMac, Stellar Kart, Skillet, David Crowder, Hawk Nelson, SuperChick, Caedmon’s Call, Lincoln Brewster, Relienk K, Whitecross, and many more. The lyrics also display on the screen so that you and your audience can sing along as you play.

I’m seriously considering getting this for my son. He loves Praise music and has shown an interest in the Guitar Hero series…what a better way to open up an avenue to his interests than to provide a way to praise God and have entertainment all at the same time.
I came across this article “The “Guitar Hero” Answers Your Questions” by Stephen J. Dubner. I found the more technical questions interesting.
