I have played classical guitar for 30 years.

It is absurd to say you can not compare these things. Utterly absurd.

It is exactly like spending time in car driving simulator instead of actually learning to drive car.

Your point makes zero sense. I don't even think you believe this because comparing video game soccer or martial arts to actually playing soccer or fighting is just stupid.

Thats not remotely comparable with playing guitar trying to replicate what you see on a screen with a few buttons. But I will not argue with a guy that just called my opinion "just stupid".

Also:

> because comparing video game soccer or martial arts to actually playing soccer or fighting

Thats not what I did.
