This past weekend while playing Guitar Hero with Mallory, Alissa, and Courtney I took quite a bit of abuse for the way that I hold the guitar. I am the only one of the four who actually played a real guitar back in the day. I also took guitar lessons so I argue that I know the proper way to hold the thing! As I look at the pictures though I do think I hold it a bit on the high side, but it is not under my chin like a fiddle would be! John says it is more like a mandolin. I have to hold it higher so I can work the buttons. No matter how hard I try I just cannot operate that whammy bar, strum, and do the buttons at the same time. My brain knows what to do, but the message does not get to my fingers! I just need a lot more practice before I will be ready for the girl band which Alissa and Mallory are forming. I know they will welcome his fiddle hero in their band!

Fiddle hero vs. guitar hero

Maybe you could join the Duggar's band with your fiddle. That seems more your speed.
Lissa, I don't think the Duggars have enough money for 300 instruments for all of their odd children. Maybe Sherri can buy some instruments for them, she is generous to a fault.
Hopefully they will come out with a Fiddle Hero for the video game world soon. I think you would rock that - or at least the Mandolin Hero. I don't think either of those have a whammy bar.
