Something new for my guitar class

The other day, I was listening to NPR 90.1 radio station and this guy was being interviewed about his guitar class in his middle school. He was talking about that he used The Guitar Hero for the class and said it helped the students to develop the rhythm skills well. It won't help students to play the note or chord on it because it doesn't have frets on it. I think this is a great idea to use it in the guitar class. I teach the beginning guitar class. At our school, the computer randomly pick the students and they are put it the class. So, I have several kids who think that the guitar is not important. Sometime, it is very difficult for me to motivate these students. But I think that utilizing the Guitar Hero into the class will motivate students more and help the students to develop the rhythm skills at the same time.
