According to articles, the K-On! VAs did play their own instruments. They were apparently cast with the requirement that they already be able to play somewhat -- and they've probably been practicing that one or two songs for a few months. In the clip, they sound about like any decent garage band that has been banging around on one or two tunes for a few months
Of course, I also note that Scandal's instrument work is pretty basic. Their rendition of "Don't Be Lazy" was musically seriously simplified. They have a ways to go before they match ZONE's technical skills (which weren't spectacular either to be honest).
I'm getting the feeling that Japanese are just still amazed that girls might play rock instruments.... Flashback to the U.S.'s early 'girl bands' like the Go-Gos, the Bangles, etc for some comparison.
More lessons, girls, eh?
