Well if my son was home with me still, I would buy the game. We have the empty nest now. My son was not a guitar player till later in his studies of piano. He was taking lessons as soon as he was able to read a book and continued all through his college years, getting his masters. Now he has his own family and the world goes around. He does not play any more which is a shame. he has a full plate with his job being VP of Student affairs on a Kentucky campus. This man self taught himself guitar, which I found to be awesome. he never came to me about it much. I did lug him around and his equipment from gig to gig in his time. They were good band in there time. At that time I was not playing in a band, I always told myself if playing out becomes a job I am going to quit and that's what happened to me. Now I just enjoy playing and studying Guitar Tricks in my bedroom and I am happy with that. I have 50 years of playing off and on and I do pick up the lessons fairly quickly. My problem now is trying to remember them. I also heard there is some lag time on that game. I heard there are some different hookups to avoid the problem. I just wanted to hear some opinions before I dropped that much money on a game. Thanks for the input, Pete
