Following John Mayer’s criticism of Guitar Hero, the Jonas Brothers responded to Entertainmentwise and came to the defense of the game.

The oldest member of the trio, 20-year-old Kevin, said, “I totally understand John Mayer’s perspective but for me I think it’s a great way to introduce the idea of an instrument to a generation of a young age.

“Maybe you would go on from there and transition into actually learning how to play and things like that.”
