Guitar Hero

I love to play Guitar Hero! I was first introduced to the game back when I lived in Ohio and was doing my practicum at the Hilliard Library. You can't work with teens and not hear about this game. Probably most of you have either played it or seen it played. Basically, the game controller is a guitar. The song plays, and a fingering chart scrolls across the tv screen. There are buttons for the frets and to strum. You try to get as many notes right as you can.

My brother Drew is an excellent guitar player. (Real guitar, not Guitar Hero guitar.) Whenever he comes over, he wants to play the game. Drew and Marquesas were at my apartment last week, so we broke it out. I played with Drew for a while. When I quit, Evan (my 3 year old nephew) asked if it was his turn next. So he "played" with Uncle Drew. (Really, Drew played on one player, and we didn't plug Evan's controller in. But he didn't know that, of course. He thought he was totally rocking out.) I thought these pictures were so cute. Evan is so tiny! He concentrates so hard on the game.

Here we have the instructional session. We had to explain to Evan that he had to hit the buttons with his right and left hands at the same time.

He looks like a pro, right?

And here he is all concentrated on playing the song right.

On another note... my neice Devyn (11 months old) was there also, and she LOVED Guitar Hero too. She danced to the music!
