Depressing someone would get so into this and spend so much time and effort on a game and then be ruined by cheating when it wasn't even necessary.
Watching the video the narrator talks about playing real guitar. I played Guitar Hero before learning real guitar and that's such a fascinating thing. In general I also find the real thing easier (sometimes MUCH) easier than the game. I think the real thing made the game harder for me, perhaps because the game is visual, not auditory.
That said I played Guitar Hero I/II on the XB360 when it was popular. More recently I had tried Rock Band on the XB1, and it's possible it's just that the whole thing was just terrible on the XB1 due to the HDMI latency.
I can't imagine getting so good at the game as well.. cause I found the controllers RSI monsters compared to real guitars. Mushy buttons with lots of travel. They would often make my left hand hurt.
I think Guitar Hero is harder than the real guitar in the sense that it's hard to know what you're doing wrong because the feedback isn't so immediate. For me, when it comes to really fast sections, if I start missing notes it's hard to tell if I'm going too fast, too slow, or just pressing the wrong buttons. I loved the games in their heyday and got pretty good, but I reached my own skill plateau where I stopped improving and it just didn't feel good anymore.
I recently played through Thumper, made by ex Rock Band devs, and while it's not a direct replacement, it's a huge improvement in many ways. It's much less forgiving, but you at least always know exactly what you did wrong.
