@Witzbold: Aww..You should've told him the best line:
"Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."

It just works so well there.

Either way, it was still pretty funny.

That's awesome Crecente. Learning to play guitar is on my list too. Right now I'm trying to learn another language for fun, musical instrument's up next.

That rocks. My son is almost 2 and at 3 we're gonna let him start fiddle lessons (he tries to play all my instruments so I gave him an old guitar and uke). I'll keep the Guitar Hero explanation in mind for rhythmic value as an alternative to whacking his hands with a metronome :)

Ah, the blessings of digital knowledge.

The D-string is the string. Keep practicing!

@Fierfaerie:

I went through a similar strengthening process with my left pinky. The first day I had the game, I played for literally 8 hours straight, and I thought it was going to fall off. Now it's much stronger and adept.

@Witzbold: that was swift, brutal, and funny. Awesome.

Also, Guitar Hero has helped me so much with manual dexterity in my left hand. I started playing more often in an attempt to make my pinky stronger for softball (I wasn't holding the glove open enough because of my wuss pinky). Now it is strong! And I can comfortably reach the fifth button! I can't pass a hard song yet, but I can reach the button, and that's saying something I think.

@NeoAkira:
Well, it's kind of like learning to drive from playing racing games, when for most people their experience driving makes them better at the game instead of vice versa.

I guess for a kid it would be a little different. But the principle is still the same.

Crecente, if I may say, you are one of the perfect models of a gaming parent. If the technology-fearing masses were to read the story of any parent, that would be your story.

Then again, "Gaming proven to be completely healthy" isn't a good headline.
Man, mass media sucks.

I'm really glad you're taking guitar lessons man! Your son's a lucky kid. While my parents bought me my first guitar at 12, (I haven't put it down since) my father will never have anything positive to say about me playing music. sigh.

@Witzbold: That was quick. I dont think we want fake posters here. That can get old fast.

@Crecente: Did the guitar teacher then shake his head at you? (sad thing is, I accidentally typed guitar hero the first time)

So you had to relate playing the actual guitar to a guitar-emulating videogame for your son to understand it?

Sorry, but that's just backwards! haha.

I don't think that would work for me.

I always do everything at a slightly faster rhythm than the actual rhythm.

Good call referring to something he knew and understood to compare to what he was doing. I stand by the fact I learned to drive a five speed by playing race drivin' in the arcade.
