I have been playing "guitar hero" for over 40 years, a few decades before that ridiculous video toy was conceived, difference being you're at least aping being a real musician!
I'm sure other players have as well. Plugging in a cheap guitar to play along to my favorite Zeppelin Songs along with the always cool solos of Steely Dan(Jeff Baxter/Denny Dias)
"Play the song Aja by Steely Dan. I can play on my system the drum solo by the great Steve Gadd at realistic volume levels-if you dare -but it is not the same as real drums!! "
Steve Gadd is a killer drummer. Nice outro on Aja. I also like Jeff Porcaro's work on the SD albums.
I would imagine just like drums, you're just not gonna get the EXACT tone since there as many variables. You can get close, especially an acoustic guitar. STILL, even the BEST setups leave something to be desired.
Even hearing the uber systems- ILLUSION. Spend a ton of dough, follow some audiophool messiah with tweaks and rituals....you still get FAKE, but it may sound good enough to forget that it's just a few fancy boxes and wire.
