A problem, however, is that to look/feel natural, a keyboard would need at least 13 keys. Otherwise it would barely count as learning real skills.

13 keys would work, but it would still take up a huge section on screen, if they were to put it in a Guitar Hero 5 or Rock Band 3.

If there's ever a keyboard in any of the games. I should just be 10 keys. 1 for each finger.

But that would require not moving ever. That'd be lame. The guitars have five, one more than how many non-thumbs you have.

He was talking about how you would be partially able to take the Keyboard Hero skills to a real keyboard. Which you wouldn't be able to do with too few/incorrect keys.

Actually, you do learn real skills in Guitar Hero. Not to the point that you can be a half decent guitarist, but it has helped me learn the guitar faster than expected. Mostly due to the left hand not being slow and not having to figure out the whole right/left motions that make notes happen.

Rock Band kind of taught me how to play drums. I had been a percussionist for seven years, but could never play drumset.

Rock Band tripped me on the sidewalk and laughed at me, calling me a failure at life.

Guitar Hero taught me calculus.

OK, now that we've killed that, let's get back to the real subject at hand.

That's not changing the subject, that's called getting back on subject.

Kiss would be prooty fun. They'd be a good choice for some low-ranked tracks that aren't boring as heck to play.

Anyways, Kiss would be cool. Maybe Iron Maiden though, that'd be hardcore.

You almost let that get over your head, there.

Also, what Guitar Hero and Rock Band need is a ton of The Who, and a helluva lot more Queen.

That would be excellent.
