The latest instalment of Guitar Hero, number 5, is set to hit the shops tomorrow to great fanfare, but there has been great debate since the series began concerning its musical merit.

Well, the guys behind the game want to know!
Did your first beats on a Guitar Hero drum controller inspire you to hit the skins for real? Perhaps you have a video of yourself demonstrating how you've developed from a gaming drummer to a real life musician? If this is you, email your stories/videos to guitarhero@bhpr.co.uk!
