no no no hammer on as much as you can as its hard to get the timing right when strumming to raining blood.
Id try to hit the greens too, keeps your rock meter higher plus its easier to keep rhythm

I love doing that one, since I've got those fast bits nailed.

But yeah, I'll give it shot without going for the greens. See if I get lucky.

Oh yeah, I thrashed my score on it last week, tried to 5* it and got well over the 5* mark.

yeah, there aren't many greens, so keep your four fingers on R Y B O, and while strumming insanely fast, hit all four buttons in reverse order ( O B Y R ), and then right after the same, bur with the middle three, then back to the 4.

good luck, but remember you still need to strum pretty fast in the verses, and the final mosh is very easy to pass first time!

Been playing a lot of GH2 lately. Been trying to 5* Search & Destroy with limited success.

So I decided to try and sort out Mosh 1 on practice mode. I can get about 75% notes hit on Slow, and about 55% on Full Speed.

Getting there.

55% could pass if you're incredibly lucky, but you'll definitely need star power.

try for near 70!

Yeah but you'd be flashing red so bad leaving you with 0 more mistakes to make before death. As soon as the mosh is over you'd probably still die.

yeah, hence the "incredibly lucky" part.

Just obliterated my previous high score for Carry On My Wayward Son by about 35k.

God I love that song so much.

I preordered Guitar Hero World Tour today :D

...with money lent from my mam which means I don't get it until Christmas D:

Full kit or just guitar or just game or wut?

Full game box thing, which is the game, guitar, mic and drums, plus HMV are giving an extra guitar to be used as a bass for free with preorders.

£135.

I going to see if I can somehow get that much money together myself by November, though, so I can just get it on release day.

Not to boast but I can 5* every song on that game apart from Misirlou. Not including the bonus songs (Jordan D:)

Good to go back to it once in a while though

I still can't decide what version to get. I definitely want the guitar.... but idk if I'll want the band at all. and if I do, where will I keep the drums when not in use? And I cant get the bonus because I cant order it online because then they'd have to deliver it to me and I'm at uni............

you want to get the most out of the game don't you? and hey, consider storage space AFTER, besides, you can always take apart the drum kit when not in use

I'm only going to get the game and MAYBE the guitar. I don't care for Rock Band nonsense.

Same, can you play GHWT with the GH3 guitar then?

I think so, but you'll not have the touch sensitive solo pad thing for tapping solos. Don't think it's required, though.

Yeah, you can use the Les Paul.

Also, RB2 kit and GHWT kit are cross-compatible.

I'm trying to play with the lefty flip on.
Am I badass or what?

I actually play lefthanded but without lefty flip on. Don't ask I just picked up the guitar and started playing like that and now Im too used to it to change. I also play real guitar lefthanded but i have a left handed guitar as its a bitch learning to play backwards when there are so many notes and chords.

That's straight.
I was thinking about buying a left handed guitar when I got really good,
but for now I'm just gonna stick to right hand for now.

In my new flat, there's a pretty big mirror perfectly positioned so if I'm sitting on my bed it reflects my monitor, and I see the lefty flipped GH in there and it keeps distracting me.

That's ... defeating the purpose, right?

well, yes. but it's a huge time saver for the $350,000 and lefty career achievement.

although, i've heard you have to do the whole career in one sitting with lefty otherwise it won't unlock due to crappy developing by neversoft

Seriously?

That better not be true, I worked through around half of it way back, and left that band sitting there untouched since.

mhm, well, make sure lefty is always on and don't go into your other career, just in case.

I did a GH2 marathon today myself. A lot of people say that the playing GH3 exclusively for an extended period of time destroys their ability to do well in GH2, but I've gotten a lot better. I'm able to pick out patterns of notes that seemed like a meaningless avalanche of gems and play them rather than flail through them. I don't know if it's the playing of GH3 specifically that helped me improve in that regard or just the practice in general, but it definitely hasn't ruined my timing. It's not like I suddenly start playing off of the notes when I play GH3. I still aim for perfect timing, the increased window just allows me to fall a little behind when I meet a pattern that's too fast for me.

I was bored and started throwing together a wishlist of songs I'd kill to have in Guitar Hero. The list quickly became big so I decided to fabricate a full blown setlist. Too bad that this list is too good to ever be a reality. I would cum buckets if even half these songs were announced for the next iteration of Guitar Hero, and not in a metaphorical sense, buckets would actually come out of my penis.
