I don't really think that it will deminish the amount of people that will want to learn how to play guitar... The reason is because I picked up a new video game called Guitar Hero... don't know how many people have played it... but its for Playstation 2. I bought it the day it came out because me and my buddy were pretty psyched about it when we heard it was coming out. Well... it comes with a controller that is shaped like a miniature SG... and it has 5 colored buttons on the fretboard that you press down in time with the song thats playing on the screen... Well everyone that I knwo that has played this gme and was halfway decent at it wants to learn how to play real guitar now... because they're more interested in the instrument than they were before they started playing the game...

check the game out at www.guitarherogame.com

its pretty fun to sit around with friends and play...
