I play real guitar, and trust me it is a lot better. You are not impressing girls by beating through the fire and the flames on expert with a plastic toy controller shaped like an instrument, getting all sweaty and greasy mashing the buttons.

 

 

 

Damn man, you guys are still getting people trolling on about how playing a real guitar is better 47 pages into the thread?

 

 

 

I think it gets to the point where we get the idea. You're a badass because you can play green day's time of your life on guitar, we get it.

New DLC!

 

 

 

 

 

Guitar Virtuoso pack!

 

 

 

It's awesome :ohnoes: Finally some challenge haha.

 

I can't beat Soothsayer (Buckethead) yet... the soloes are just too fast.

 

 

 

They're hard/impossible to FC but easy to beat/5* imo.

 

 

 

I can beat them all without star power :o

 

 

 

But yeah, it's good to get some challenging DLC for a change.

I know someone who plays real guitar, and he chases girls constantly but for some reason they aren't impressed with his uber REAL GUITAR skillz.

 

 

 

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark at who you're talking about...Kuhn Doggy Dog? :lol: :lol:

Was I that obvious?

 

 

 

Well, I figured you weren't talking about me. You know...cause I actually get the girls. :roll:

 

Oh, and you're right about my laziness. :lol:

 

 

 

Final Scores:

 

1st: Bongo Man - 351,462

 

2nd: SaidinWoT - 340,334

 

3rd: DarkDude98 - 324,025

 

 

 

Next Song: Rock You Like a Hurricane

 

 

 

 

 

In other news, I made it past the intro of Through The Fire and Flames only to fail on the slide right after it. #-o Still the best I've ever done. 4% ftw.

Gah, are you serious? I always come out of that with a 2X multiplier, sometimes 3X. Still can't get to it on a real run though. . . I always fail because of overstrums.

 

 

 

I actually got 81% on a practice run. Damn that intro. And now my Wii is broken and I won't get it back from servicing for another few days :x

Hmm... for people with the new pack, are you guys able to tap solo A in Surfing With The Alien?

 

 

 

I can do it when I slow it down to slower/slowest, but I just can't hit the orange button fast enough at full speed.

 

 

 

I just flail my fingers while strumming fast and using star power.

 

 

 

Apparently ir's 24NPS which I believe is one of the quickest sections. Only a few people have managed to FC that section (Don't think anyone has FCed the song yet)

Well I can pass the section - probably without star power too.

 

 

 

And I can FC the section in practice on slower/slowest, but I physically cannot press a button that fast.

Surfing with the Alien's trills are 22.3 NPS, which are in fact the fastest trills in the game (raining blood's trills are 'only' 17 NPS).... as proof of how consistent some people are, they were FCed on the first day...

 

 

 

The entire pack has been FCed in sections by one person already, but no real run FCs of anything but For the Love of God yet...

SaidinWoT can now be tracked easily on weekends - Erm, maybe when I start playing again.

It just goes to show how much better people in general have become. Back when GH2 was released, 90 odd percent of scorehero was adamant that jordan or trogdor would never ever be FCed, but this pack gets released, with songs that are just as hard (albeit on an easier engine) and when somebody gets an FC within 3 days its nothing special.

Tbh we need a TDWDTG FC before GH4. That would be ridiculous.

There's already been a -30 run on it, which is pretty darn good compared to the significantly 'worse' runs of just a few months ago.

Nice job on those FC's, I know they're mostly the easy ones, but taking into account that we presume you're playing on expert, it still can't have been easy. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

In other news, I've 5* Holiday in Cambodia on expert, it's WAY too easy to overstrum on this song, but I love it that much I went out and did it :P

 

 

 

I also beat Slash on expert, and believe me, it isn't easy, but I found it easier than on hard for some reason...

 

 

 

Can anyone offer any advice for One and Raining Blood on hard? I'm stuck on Fast Solo A and Mosh 1 respectively, they drive me insane :wall:

For one, save all your star power for Fast Solo A, I suggest going into practice and making sure you have the rest of the song down and dont fail right after it, happened to me >.<

 

 

 

For RaBl, I cant really offer any advice, I quit hard career to play online for a while and got very good at hammer-ons. When I tried career again I 100%ed Mosh 1, but try the same as one, save your star power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for an update on me. Last post I was stuck on CoP Expert. Today, I woke up, passed it on first attempt \' . Then I tried RaBl, failed twice. Sight-red Cliffs and #oftehBeast and beat both of em first try :thumbsup: . Then I tried RaBl one last time and I freaking beat it! :mrgreen: The rock-o-meter was flashing red and 1 more wrong note would have failed it lol. I call that supreme luck. Stuck on One though, I'm gonna wait till tommorow to try it again, my fingers are killing me.

they may be easy FCs but I look at it like this; I've beaten 1/7th of the game ^^.

 

 

 

also -1 runs on ruby, she bangs the drums, radio song and a -4 on prayer of the refugee. Those should go down pretty soon.

 

 

 

make that 11 FCs. Radio song went down after 2 tries. I got 182k, and I think the path I used was pretty decent. Where the hell are people getting another 18k from? surely ticks and squeezes cant be worth that much.

I've moved back to GH2 because of lack of saving capabilities on GH3 and made some good progress since coming back. In the past 10 days:

 

 

 

FC Reduxs

 

Surrender - 314,700 (67th place on ScoreHero)

 

Possum Kingdom - 353,910 (57th)

 

Heart-Shaped Box - 332,350 (148th)

 

Salvation - 227,709 (72nd)

 

Monkey Wrench - 453,001 (29th)

 

Dead! - 282,404 (20th)

 

Parasite - 238,782 (52nd)

 

Radium Eyes - 199,922 (52nd)

 

Soy Bomb - 176,672 (69th)

 

 

 

New FCs

 

Life Wasted - Messed up SP, so I ended up with a score 6k better than my FC with a -8 run, which was a score of 294,478 (93rd)

 

Cherry Pie - 193,525 (53rd)

 

Message in a Bottle - 318,634 (18th)

 

Billion Dollar Babies - 211,246 (10th)

 

Hush - 260,614 (35th)

 

Girlfriend - 241,919 (51st)

 

Can't You Hear Me Knockin' - 279,196 (132nd)

 

 

 

And on top of those, general improvement in most songs, leaving me with a career score of 21.1m or 14.47m without bonus tracks :)

 

And just as a fun side note, I'm beating the best Xbox 360 player on 4 songs ::'

man I wish I could FC message in a bottle. I've hit the last solo a million times in practice mode, Its incredibly fun to play, but I never ever hit it in a real run, and I tend to get bored after 3 or 4 tries because the bit I choke on is right at the end of the song.

 

 

 

-4 On black magic woman this morning, that suprised me.
