To be fair, you could play Falling Down, Im Outta Time and The Shock Of Lightening (and some others) after about a month of playing guitar. I don't see why people don't just learn the real thing. At least for music like this. Sure for more complex rhymth guitar stuff GH makes you look cooler faster. But nothing beats the real thing, or an oasis song on acoustic.
