You think so? i gotta say, for me it was backwards.
The first guitar song i ever learned how to play was 'aneurysm' by Nirvana and that was easier to learn for me than learning how to play Rockband.

i actually thought that since i knew how to play guitar already playing those games would come naturally to me but it didn't, instead it felt restricted..
