The Guitar Hero Thread

[K]

I'm watching the making of the venues video.. these environments look awesome... but I never see them, because I'm looking at the fret board the whole time.

[apsham]

I try to look up and down to see the venues and what my guy is doing. On songs like the Spanish Castle Magic and Texas Flood your guy struts around the stage.

[CKN]

not sure if this is posted in here but RedOctane CEO said that there would be five or six games between now and next year for the Guitar Hero franchise. Guitar Hero 2 already has 40 tracks too.

[apsham]

Woah.... between five and six games for one year!?

I'll end up buying them all. >_>

There better be a price reduction.

[Liam]

Yeah, it'll probably go the way Buzz has gone (with different CD's for different quiz categories)

Oh sweet Jesus, I've beaten medium, and I'm now on hard and I'm struggling just to get past the first set of songs. That damn orange button is just hard to hit.

[kale]

you have to get used to using your pinky and moving your hand up and down the neck of the guitar

[apsham]

I don't even use my pinky, it's double jointed so it always ends up bending backwards and hurting me. I learned to slide my fingers along the neck of the guitar.

The only song I can't five star on easy is Queens of the Stone Age. I fucking hated QOTSA to start with, this isn't helping.

If it's the run at the end of the solo that's giving you fits, just practice doing some hammer-ons/pull-offs and that should take care of it. Once you get the solo, the rest of the song is cake.

[K]

There aren't any hammer ons/pull offs in that section of the song. Not on easy anyway. :/

I five starred it just now anyway.

Thats easy done.

Medium ahoy. Already have most of the first two venues tracks five starred on med, just got ZZ Top to do. Gonna give them a rest though and do some secret tracks, just unlocked about sixteen of them.

Edit: On the off chance that Zakk Wylde was just walking past my house, I'd like to apologise for butchering his song just now.

I'll stick to ZZ Top for a while.

Ah. It's been a while since I've done the easy tracks, so my memory's a bit fogged. Good job on the five-star, though (Y)

[Red Devil-Taker316]

I really don't listen to music..and I couldn't play the guitar for shit.

But this game is pretty damn awesome. I am good at DDR..so the concept is pretty simple.

All the easy songs were pretty easy, and I've got some 100%s for Medium, but when it comes to hard, I can't seem to grasp that orange button. I've passed one hard song..barely.

When i read here there is a way to play lefty I just laughed...I'm a lefty, but I'm just to used to playing righty now..lol

[Cactus Drags]

Expert can kindly fuck off. I tried I love Rock and Roll" and "I Wanna Be sedated". Pased the former, spetacularly failed the latter. Christ.

[apsham]

I Wanna Be Sedated is a total bitch at higher difficulties, but it's just the way the songs are grouped. The first ones are easier to play when they leave some of the chords out, but when they add in everything that's supposed to be there, it could be in the fourth venue easily.

[MalaCloudy Black]

This game sounds like something I'd mess myself playing, and I dont mean poopoo mess either.
