Agreed on the creativity part. I believe someone in Kotaku mentioned something along the lines of, "it would really suck if Guitar Hero really trained people, because they'd all be shredding the exact same guitar solo whenever they covered a song."
However, the idea that anyone can see these actual guitar solos being played and think, "dude, I did that in Guitar Hero the other day, so like whatever," is completely alien to me. (It's a lot easier to "get" where the "LOL lern 2 ply rlgtr plz" idiots are coming from, despite how annoying and trollish that statement is.) Again, I'd think those kinds of people were never going to be legitimate players in the guitar arena anyway.
