Guitar Hero is (quite obviously) loads easier than playing a real guitar...
Memorizing the chords, learning to switch from chord to chord, muting strings, among many many other things (alternate tunings, 6 strings and 21 frets compared to 5 giant buttons) are all various techniques and such one much learn to become a "good" guitar player...
Guitar Hero requires that you learn to manage 5 giant buttons and a strum bar...

As Gekko said, becoming a "good" guitar player takes years and years, and is obviously a whole 'nother ballgame altogether (otherwise he'd be interested in learning to play a real guitar, which he's apparently not)...
Not to mention the fact that, in most people's cases, learning to play the guitar is just as "useful" in life as learning to play a guitar game... Just a hobby... Doesn't usually "get you anywhere"...
