“World’s best” Guitar Hero player was a cheat

I personally vividly hallucinate tabs, chords, shapes and scales while playing. Sometimes with it overlaying on the fretboard.

Arguably this depends on how you learn and memorize, but I don't think you can discount the visual element of playing instruments. We do have the dots in the fretboard after all.

Sorry, I think I gave an odd response the other day.

What I meant to say is that I looked at the guitar a whole lot when I was starting, but then I spent years playing without looking at the fretboard, often while laying in bed. At first I -had- to look at the fretboard and strings to play properly.

Still, it's not as lush feedback as a video game.

When I hear music, I think about actual fret board and instrument playing because I have never played any sort of music video game for any significant portion of time.

You needed to learn to hallucinate them. Imagine them in AR from the get-go.
