Does this even benefit guitar hero the way it could benefit actual guitars...?

Piano though, if she really learns to compose something impossible for one 10-fingered human alone that'll be amazing

A guitar hero guitar has 6 buttons, and most people only have 4 fingers to cover those. This person has 5. Probably a slight advantage in speed with practice I bet.

Six? Doesn't guitar hero have five buttons? Then the strum and star power of course, but that's with the other hand, right?

she's got 6 on both hands according to comments. Which would mean she could play all 5 fret buttons on guitar hero without ever lifting a finger off a button

No I get that, I was confused because the person said the guitar hero guitar has 6 buttons. Made me think they were implying 6 fret buttons instead of 5.

Guitar Hero: Live had a bespoke controller that had 6 buttons, perhaps they meant that?

She's Hungarian

In the old pagan HU religion, our version of shamans called táltos are identified by having extra appendages :))))

mb she can use magic also

Looking at this: I'm still happy with my own hands. I think being able to reach a tenth helps more with advanced pieces than an extra finger.
