Step 1: Take a look at yourself.
Look at you.
Playing a video game while others are making millions off of hit records, building skyscrapers, skydiving, and running countries.
Not pressing buttons.
Think:
Is this who I really want to be? -
Step 2: Ween off the songs.
If you play, say 30 songs a day, then the next day play 25, or maybe
27.
Do this slowly, though, because dramatic song will just make you want to play more. , If you play GH as much as I assume you do, then you must know how to hold the guitar.
Not surprisingly, this is a basic element for playing.
You know fast sequence picking, fret-to-fret finger speed, and pick-fret sync.
If you can play expert GH, you can take up guitar.
You will have a REAL skill, and get REAL appreciation. , Write down all the stuff you buy, and all of the money you spend.
See how much you could've gotten if you hadn't spent hundreds of dollars on GH. , Put a sleep timer on you're TV if you can't stop playing yourself. , Better yet, try to get addicted (I wouldn't say addicted) but engaged in another game even more. , See what it's like out of the La La Land you call Guitar Hero.
Videotape yourself and see how much time you really put into one game. , And, no joke, you'll be a natural. -
Step 3: Take up the real thing.
-
Step 4: Do the math.
-
Step 5: Be strict.
-
Step 6: Play some of your other favorite games.
-
Step 7: Videotape yourself.

Step 8: If all else fails... Do something productive with your addiction and teach someone how to play Guitar Hero.
