Growing up, I’ve always been a huge Guitar Hero 3 fan, and you can blame my older brother for that. Now, my partner just started learning bass, so I’ve been jumping in when I can for some real-life Guitar Hero action. I’m getting the hang of it, but some of these Youtube videos are lying, and are in fact not so easy.
