I really hope that was sarcastic. How can you expect "thousands of dollars" and "years of practice" for playing a real instrument to not involve any of those skills?
Playing real instruments usually involves keeping with a specific beat, while Guitar Hero involves hitting the mark when the screen tells you to.
I admit I've never really played a real Guitar or even a Guitar Hero guitar, but I can tell by looking at it that a real guitar takes more finger coordination than a Guitar Hero guitar. In Guitar Hero you need to press a specific button and flick the lever at the right time, while with a real guitar you need to hold down a set of strings at specific locations and then strum them at a certain speed and strength (sometimes one, a few, or all).

I agree, but I wasn't talking about Rock Band. Even for Guitar Hero I expect
some skill would transfer over, but it probably wouldn't be very noticeable.
