“Former Rolling Stones star Bill Wyman has expressed concern that music games like Rock Band stop young people from practising real musical instruments. He told the BBC: “It encourages kids not to learn, that’s the trouble.”

That’s absolute rubbish. Games like Rock Band give the common pleb a taste of what it would be like to play an instrument. It doesn’t stop people from learning the drums or guitar correctly if they want to. If anything, I would imagine the game would give them a taste for it.
