song tabs or chords were pretty scarce. Some say there's pros and cons to these. There are so many
online tools now it boggles my mind: online lessons, video tutorials, reams of tab, etc.
I played the Rock Band video game once or twice and while it was fun I can't see myself buying it or
playing it over and over. Is technology changing the way you play? Was it the major force in your learning
curve? Is Rock Band and its like a blessing or a curse? Will it encourage or discourage kids to play a real
guitar? Discuss....

My age is more changing the way I play. I always tended to dig in to the note to 'create' volume at the sacrifice of technique. Now I play softer, allowing way more dynamics, speed, and accuracy. I never played Rock Band and after I heard Steve Perry state that he sucked playing his own songs, I never fely enticed to try it either.repoman wrote:Q2) Is technology changing the way you play?
