californiascreamer1 Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Okay, so i love Guitar Hero and i wanted to create a topic to show off our skills. I see videos on youtube all the time and thought We should have somewhere we can post our skills. It could be a photo of your highscore, or a video of YOU playing. This is an example of a video you could post. (This is not me!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1AZBNnZMF0 Here is a "Flashier" example of something you could do with editing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD2EHldgHMc&NR=1
californiascreamer1 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 I cant get my pictures to size down so i may have to do videos.
onewheeled999 Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 This isn't really about the videos, but I have a question. I am thinking about picking up either Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero II, and I'm not sure which one to get. If any GH players read this, please recommend which you like better. Thanks!
easytoremember Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Some people think GH 1 has a better track list, but its Pull offs and Hammer Ons are really dificult and can make the game far harder and less enjoyable. I actually like GH 2 track list, but 1 is about equal in that department. Over all, I would look at the track lists of each, and if either has more songs you would really wanna play, get it. But if you don't have a huge prference in the songs, get two, for wider selection of Customizables, more songs, and better working Hammer ons and pull offs.
californiascreamer1 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 Yeah, Its all opinion. You need to look at the tracklists for both and see witch one you like better. My highest score is 234226 for Free Bird on Medium
hyyyper Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I don't have console, so i play Frets on Fire, which is basically the same, only you pick up your keyboard upside-down and the F-keys are the frets and the enter to play the note
easytoremember Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 My best score was a 98% on Sweet Child 'O Mine and Can't You Hear Me Knockin' both on expert.
onewheeled999 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Yeah, I've decided to get Guitar Hero 2. It has a lot more awesome songs, practice mode, Surrender by Cheap Trick, and it's not too hard to find around where I live.
Wes Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 The greatest thing ever is actually learning to how to play a real guitar and actually rocking out instead of just mashing colored buttons in a proper sequence.
easytoremember Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 ya, thats what everyone says.....until they play it.
onewheeled999 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 The greatest thing ever is actually learning to how to play a real guitar and actually rocking out instead of just mashing colored buttons in a proper sequence. True, but all the stuff you need to learn and rock out with the real thing costs hundreds of dollars, while Guitar Hero has everything for around $75. Plus, anybody can pretty much pick up and play Guitar Hero.
californiascreamer1 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 The greatest thing ever is actually learning to how to play a real guitar and actually rocking out instead of just mashing colored buttons in a proper sequence. I agree. True, but all the stuff you need to learn and rock out with the real thing costs hundreds of dollars, while Guitar Hero has everything for around $75. Plus, anybody can pretty much pick up and play Guitar Hero. True, But if you start playing gigs, You will probably end up getting the money back if you can play good remakes. Like the house of blues. (Awesome, 200 posts!)
Wes Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 ya, thats what everyone says.....until they play it. I have played it and thought it was kind of dumb. It's just button mashing in sequences. As someone who plays guitar, certain aspects of the game are completely counter-intuitive to actual guitar playing. True, but all the stuff you need to learn and rock out with the real thing costs hundreds of dollars, while Guitar Hero has everything for around $75. You can get a cheap or used guitar for under $100. And wouldn't you rather spend time learning how to play an actual song that could impress the laaaadies as opposed to properly hitting buttons on time which impresses no one?
CoasterNut17 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 The greatest thing ever is actually learning to how to play a real guitar and actually rocking out instead of just mashing colored buttons in a proper sequence. I play electric guitar, and it is WAY harder than any guitar hero song, but I can actually play most of the songs on GH2, like Sweet Child O Mine, Beast and Harlot, Fat Lip, and some other songs that I can play just on the raidio like No reason, and Girlfriend. Other than that, GH is just fun to pick up once in a while and try to beat scores on. It actually got me started in real guitar!
TheLastGunslinger Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I've beaten both GH1 and GH2 on expert and I've 5-stared every song in GH2 on hard (except for The Trooper, which I'm working on). I would love to post a video or picture but unfortunately I don't have a digital camera.
missingmusician Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I play electric guitar, and it is WAY harder than any guitar hero song... I disagree. The "Sweet Child o' Mine" solo is a simple pentatonic lick. GH makes it so much harder than it really is. Also, they put in stuff that doesn't exist in the songs "For instance, listen to the GH version of "Surrender" by Cheap Trick and then the real version.
CoasterNut17 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 ^Well, I meant for the most part. Also, some of the picking patterns that make a song really easy in real guitar makes it almost impossible to do with GH (any fast riffs) . I don't like how they add things in GH. They also take them out. Listen to "Fat Lip" by Sum 41 on GH and then the real thing. They take out all the back singing. Weird!
easytoremember Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 If they didn't add stuff in, then some songs would be boring, like Surrender for instance.
doublex98 Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Im A GUITAR HERO! without looking yeah so this is me playing Bark at the Moon on Expert w/o looking
KrakenKing Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 There's already a Guitar Hero thread: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26059&highlight=guitar+hero
californiascreamer1 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 This thread is different from that one. I wanted to have people post videos of them playing or pictures of highscores.
