It should help with finger dexterity. Might improve your rhythm and timing, that's about it.

Be a tad pointless having a game teach you how to play guitar, would be easier to just go learn guitar

Herself plays guitar and she found it much easier to play GH that me (but I've no rhythm).
I doubt it works both ways tho. At least as Makaveli says it would be good for timing and dexterity.

It certainly gives you a feel for it I suppose. But it wouldn't translate directly onto a real guitar, apart form the finger dexterity.

It could be Keyboard hero! cause it just helps with dexterity and probably helps you to play in a band...

I'd agree with the above posts, it's helps a bit with finger dexterity and perhaps with rhythm as well. That's about it.

It helps with some basic principals of playing guitar, liek rhythm and dexterity as people said above, and I suppose it gives you a small bit of limb independence as well.

The drums in Rock Band on the other hand are much closer to actually teaching you how to play them. I was talking to a guy I play with online, he's a drummer, and he said hard difficulty teaches you limb independence with the pedal etc. and if you play a song on expert you're hitting every beat and would be able to play the song on a real drum kit.

limb independence being keeping different beats with each limb ? if thats it I could never understand how it was done, it's a toughie

Yeah it's absolutely lethal, I'm on hard on teh drums now, and can get so far, tehn the bass pedal becomes a nightmare, I'm slowly but surely getting there though. It's so freakin' hard to get your foot to move differently to your right hand. I'm grand with it on slower songs, but if it gets any bit complicated I'm screwed.

it wont help you play the guitar but it will help you with your finger coordination and movements, I'm ok at GH not great but I do find it difficult to reach all the notes on a normal guitar. Just because your good at the guitar also doesn't mean you'll be good at GH.
