One of my childish escapes guilty pleasures is playing Guitar Hero on the Wii.

I’m nearly through Medium level in “GH3: World Tour” — I haven’t mastered the fast fingering needed in the final section, and of course once I get through that I’ll still have to beat the final boss.

Now and again I make an attempt at playing at the expert level, and it’s just world’s harder than medium. So I find this video inspiring, astonishing, and maybe a bit depressing.

Yeah, he’s using a fake drum kit to play a fake guitar. And yet he’s my new hero.

(Thanks to Anthony for sending me the link. Or maybe curses to him, because now I want to go play all night.)
