Some say things like 'Guitar Hero' actually hurt whatever 'future guitar players' may have arisen.
A young kid wants to be a rock star but picks up the simple (but maybe faster) video game and it allows them to 'feel' like they have accomplishment and have 'mastered' guitar, rock, songs.
But it was 'artificial' and those 100's of hours of practice go nowhere outside of the game,
but,
they may even have trained themselves to where actual guitar playing becomes more difficult.

I don't know about that (never played guitar hero) but I can tell you it turns out learning to play guitar is difficult and really is.. practice practice practice and for probably hundreds of hours.

Some of the youth I know do seem to pick it up fast but then again they often just practice for the specific songs their band plays only (nothing wrong with that either),
but,
yeah, pretty much everyone will suck and suck badly for fairly long time heh
