Thanks to Yasmin Williams, Daniel Donato, and Seera's Meesh, there's veritable proof that Guitar Hero has served as a launchpad for many budding musicians to actually pick up a guitar or bass and form a band. Inhaler’s Josh Jenkinson is another guitar player to add to that list – and in his case, obsessing over Guitar Hero and eventually picking up the guitar led him to connect with Bono’s son, Elijah Hewson, and join the Irish rockers Inhaler. “It was Guitar Hero, funnily enough,” he says in the new issue of Guitar World about how he got started on the instrument. “My grandma asked me why I was spending so much time pretending to play the guitar when I could just get a real guitar and try to learn how to actually play,” he adds with a laugh.
