I don’t suck at Guitar Hero, but really, as soon as you add that fifth key in the mix, I might as well just go back to the air guitar. But I’m a fan of the game, and even more of the soon to be released Rock Band (for whatever reason, I’ve aspired to play the drums since I was about eight years old—probably sheerly for the enjoyment of hitting things with sticks).
Anyway, if you fancy yourself a guitar hero, iTunes wants to help you revisit the glory of rocking out with a selection of Guitar Hero albums, including the brand new Guitar Hero Essentials mix. You can pick up the music from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, the forthcoming Guitar Hero III, as well as the expansions Guitar Hero: Rocks the ’80s. And in case that isn’t enough six-string heroism for you, there are celebrity playlists by Slash of Guns ‘N’ Roses and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. And, bonus, all of the songs are performed by the original bands.
Ah, it takes me back to my two days of guitar lessons. Which is also about as many chords as I learned. Meaning, of course, that I can play 50% of pop songs right there.
