Fender's trying to convert Rock Band gamers into players.
How well do you think this will work?
I don't think there's enough interest in that group to make a difference.

Good!
I recall a while ago I saw a demo of a Rock Band like game in which you had to play the actual chords rather than press the buttons on a mock guitar - That seemed very useful. This technology may not be the same, but heck, anything works.
In any case - The crowd playing guitar hero and rock band is simply people trying to have fun. Some will enjoy the added degree of realism and dificulty, some wont - It wont have a major effect on the status of music worldwide, but it should be fun.

Problem with learning by pressing buttons is you'll get even more cloth eared guitarists. I've had a housemate claim she could play guitar, and start playing something that sounded dreadful, she insisted it was right, problem being the guitar was in open tuning.

I think there's no harm in trying. I don't know how much of an effect it's going to have but I think Guitar Hero and Rock band are both very positive games for music. I'm a big fan of both of them.
All you have to do to be original is to actually have the balls to be yourself. Let it come out and it will come out differently. It is not hard to be original; it is fear that keeps us from being original. ~Oteil Burbridge
