I got this game for myself. Its easy to use when the difficulty is on easy, but once you need the fourth fret button the error in the system becomes apparent. the fourth button isn't close enough, in that the system doesn't account for the significant difference in size from one finger to the next. I understand that they couldn't really do anything about that because it has to be ambidextrous, but it would have been nicer if they designed an entire Lefty version. that way they could move the fourth fret button closer in and make it easier to play.
What's great about it: song list is great and its addicting.
What's not so great: the pinky finger fret button is too far out to be usable.
