oh, and you'll need to budget the thousands of practice hours it will take to get as good as you would need to be to play these songs well. Oh, and the lessons. And don't forget how much it will cost to get the really good guitars (because el cheapo sub-$100 guitar won't last very long, especially once you start to get good at playing).
I'm all for musical education and learning instruments and having fun doing so and all that (I played trombone for a number of years and have recently picked up the guitar) but seriously, GH is a GAME. Playing a GAME and learning an instrument are radically different activities with totally different goals.
No one is playing this game cuz they think it's gonna get them a record deal. They just want to have fun (without having to practice for yrs before they can get good enough to really do so).
The "learn the guitar" comments are really out of place. Just let it be.

I dont think learning to drive,shoot or fly is comparable to learning guitar.
How about instead of buying guitar hero 3,you could buy a beginners guitar for the same price.
