So after procrastinating for ages, I finally sold out/ caved in/ broke down and bought Guitar Hero 3. I can most certainly see the appeal that it has towards the masses. I'm having a bit of a problem with the game due to the fact that I am a bass player in real life. The fret spacing on my basses is absolutely monstrous when compared to the teeny little Fisher Price Les Pauls fretboard. My fingers naturally go for the big span and I keep missing the second neck button. I hit the third when I'm actually shooting for the second. I'm also having a hard time turning off the bass player's part of my brain and automatically try to play every note and fill as if I was playing my real bass.
I know that there have to be other DPers that are musicians (perhaps even bass players) and besides practicing day and night...if you had the same "problem", how did you overcome adapting to the smaller game instruments? I'd actually love to see a series of guitars /basses that are full scale. THAT would help immensely.
