I'll just add my agreement to Rocksmith. I've found it to be a lot of fun aside from the learning aspect. It's a fun game albeit with a quirky interface.
The fact that it lets you plug in your real guitar is definitively nice. It handles bends, chords, slides etc... is super nice (not sure that the gTar supports these from the video).
I will say the tech isn't perfect it sometimes will let you get away with things it shouldn't but you can be your own police too.
If you already own a guitar it's a cheap investment I feel. If you don't I really don't but want to learn. I believe you'll be better served with this than gTar. You'll have a real guitar at a minimum. I can forsee a upgraded gTar with a 3/4 plug etc... I'd wait and see. Plus the iPhone requirement makes it's it non workable for many people.
(I don't think this should discourage the gTar folks, I'm sure they will have enough early adopters to improve the concept.)
