I should have known there was going to be an issue when I immediately agreed to split the cost of the guitar and game with my oldest son. My addiction did not start out right away. We had to take turns with 8 people, so I didn’t get to play much. Then I noticed a change when I wanted to play as soon as the kids went to bed. Now it’s a full blown addiction since I’m dreaming about it in my sleep. I know I’ve got issues b/c now as soon as I look away from the screen, things are still moving. There are other signs as well:

• Playing nonstop for 90 minutes (I’m an old lady, trust me that’s a long time to play)
• Telling my husband “Just one more song, I promise.”
• “I’ll go fix dinner as soon as I finish my encore.”

As with any game there are negatives. We don’t have a 2nd guitar yet to play against each other since they won’t be available until the end of January. (We have the Wii.) I would also like to see them make a left-handed guitar, (not in the plans yet according to the web) so we don’t have to switch back and forth just for me. Also just doing the lefty flip doesn’t help when it comes to the whammy bar.

It’s really time for me to go back to work, so I won’t start playing as soon as I wake up in the morning.
