I usually keep my index finger on red, middle on yellow and so on. Simply because it is that much easier to reach green than orange.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
So yeah, Freebirrd expert?
Nightmare. I'm using practice mode to nail each individual solo before tackling the whole thing. If I didn't have practice mode I'd probably just give up I was speaking idiomatically.

When I go into Hard I use the RYBO hand position and reach or shift for the green.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
A half hour? Is that all? I've spent like an hour total on the god damn guitar solo I
Others have come since. I may be able to take a chance soon What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Is that the one with the extremely rapid note changes? Being uneducated, I don't know what they are and just call them "scales" since they scale down from blue to green INCREDIBLY quickly, and repeatedly, and I can't seem to nail it, and even with star power on I miss enough that I lose anyway.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
No, it's the one before that, with the BYRYB pattern
I can't seem to find the rhythm...Though for the next part with the 4-pattern B-Y-R-G I can usually do decently. Never made it that far it the main tune though There's nowhere I can't reach.

Every day that I play I manage to get a little better and better. My scores are getting higher and higher, it's amazingly satisfying.
Out of nowhere I was about to 5-star Gemini, Rock this Town and Carry me home. Which brings me up to 5-star 57/64. I dunno if I'll be able to five star the rest, but I will sure as hell keep trying. I'm thinking about recording my progress via video camera and maybe posting it on youtube or some shit, but I wouldn't know where to begin. If anyone has experience doing this, lemme know. I'm not insanely good or anything, but I'm sure other people don't mind watching people progress This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
You're five-starring most of the songs on expert, I would say that makes you insanely good.
Also, deadally, that one's tough but I find if I can just manage to get in the right rhythm with the strums, usually I can nail it - it's a familiar passage, having similar ones in both Cowboys from Hell and Bark at the Moon on the first game. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

I managed to borrow the game for a day from my friend and beat everything on expert except for Free Bird. I failed somewhere in the 70s. The part where it goes BYRG over and over is where I kept messing up, as well as the part right before it. I'd probably try harder to beat it, but it was like 3 am then, and I really didn't feel like staying up any longer for it.
My friend who I borrowed it from is pretty insane though. He played through career on expert, never once failing (first try on almost every song, he had played some prior), and five starred the majority of them. Though I had him play the Bucket Head song today, and he wasn't even able to clear it. I couldn't believe the solo in that, it's fucking absurd. He had full star power in it and it ran out. Makes the Free Bird solo look like I Wanna Be Sedated. Oh, and as far as where to hold your fingers, I find that once you play on expert, trying to stay in one spot is pretty much impossible, especially when faced with rapid sections with chords.

I have failed a song for the first time
Freya on Expert is a real pain in my ass. Mostly because it's difficult to get star power, and then also because the 3 bridges are insanely tough to do. Damn you, The Sword! Most amazing jew boots |
Yeah, Freya was the first real pain in MY ass too. I finally just resorted to hitting two-thirds, sometimes three-fourths, of the chords in those ridiculous bridge sections.

Easier to do hammer ons/pull offs.
Better money system where each band can pool together or when you go from medium to hard and etc. You can buy things and as well it counts for the entire game no matter what band. And better Multiplayer... Other then that I can't think of anythign esle to say. EDIT: When you hit reset, it resets right away, no wait time. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I beat it on Expert last night. AWESOME.
Playing Free Bird is such an exhilarating final level. It was far more fun on hard because I didn't come close to failing it, but regardless, wow, what a great way to end such a fun ass game. Time to shoot for 5-stars. See you later, sun Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Okay. So give us some pointers on how you beat Free Bird on expert, especially those difficult rapid solos... cause I still haven't
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Finally got to play the game over the weekend. I'm still a major n00b at Guitar Hero so I play in Medium *is shot* and I have to say it's a pretty damn good game. I would have played more, but I kept getting kicked off by the game's owner. That asshat.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Don't you have a Best Buy or Wal-Mart around somewhere? There, you can play for as long as you want usually, unless the managers are really anal. Just make sure you give the little mexican kids a turn (I swear they're the only ones that play the in-store displays, or were, when I was working at Best Buy.)
How ya doing, buddy? |
Not in the city where I go to college I don't have those. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal. I'll get around to playing it more eventually.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I uploaded some vids of me playing. the Quality isn't great but I'm not gonna go buy a new camera for crappy youtube vids
Psychobilly Freakout (EXPERT) 215k: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrbW9Mcr_98 Rock This Town (EXPERT) 257k: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJT8mxAG7tc Oddly enough, these are my best scores on those two particular songs. Funny how they were the first two I caught on camera and they ended up being the best scores :P What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
May I ask why don't you wammy on non-stars?
Double Post: Hey did anyone actually know about the Grim Ripper glitch? I bought him today cause my brother wanted me to even though I don't really like him, I didn't like himin GH. But if you play a song with him in the campaign. Load the song fully or play it once then change characters that have changeable costumes. It seems that you can play the scythe! I found this by accident and confirmed it due to gamefaqs.com FELIPE NO

I gotta admit, AlphaDeus, that's pretty impressive. People think I'm good, but that's just... that's hot right there. Definitely wouldn't wanna go up against you in versus mode
Zio, whammying on non-stars is usually pretty useless for your score, even if you have a 4x multiplier going. It's fun to do, but when I'm really focusing, I try not to whammy when I don't need to, because sometimes, oddly, it screws up my rhythm, throws off my groove, etc. Also yeah, I found out the grim ripper glitch right after I bought him, and then when I was randomly pounding on buttons at the Best Buy display the day it officially was released, I accidentally activated the air guitar cheat, then walked away guiltily. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Got 2 more:
Crazy on You EXPERT (332K): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLDdLxyu28Y Freya EXPERT (287K): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Tx8oRF9rQ Yeah, using the Whammy on the non-star power notes doesn't do anything good. I don't like using the whammy at all honestly because it distorts parts of the song. (I mainly play to listen to the song as opposed to actually trying to Full Combo anything). As far as glitches go, the only one I've come across is when Grim Ripper starts with a normal guitar. Lemme know if there are any songs you wanna see me "Attempt" :P Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Are you kidding me? Those two are easily two of the hardest in my book. Freya gave me such a hard time I wanted to break my guitar controller, and Crazy on You, I dunno maybe just cause I hadn't ever heard it before (don't hurt me!) the song's rhythms seemed odd.
You're a guitar GOD. If at all possible, show me Misirlou and Freebird. I want to see how to beat Freebird, so there's any way to record your hands and the TV at the same time (probably not) that would be... helpful. That's the only song I haven't beaten on expert, other than Jordan. Hey, on second thought, yeah, Jordan, I wanna see that. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I've only played Freebird like.. 4 times total, I've only passed it once in those 4 tries. It's a very intimidating song, and I've been working on other songs before I decide to tackle that one. I also haven't been working on Jordan, so I can only make it through the first solo. Misirlou, on the other hand, I can 4-star pretty much everytime.
I will try to record videos of misirlou and freebird, but I dunno how good they're gonna be. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
What program are you using to record cause all my webcam came with was the ability take pics and work with MSN/Yahoo but didn't come with a video capture thingy. I've found a few programs and they reconize my camera but they produce poor and huge files. Double Post: I can get to like 95% of the song to freebird before I become the deadbird. How ya doing, buddy?
