Guitar Hero?

Aldrine Guerrero · Nov 29, 2007

I'm a guitar zero hahaha and so are a bunch of my musically inclined friends.

Here's a quote from my friend:

"You can't compare an actual guitar with real strings to a plastic one with playskool buttons"

My rating? 2 LOL

i am proud that i dont play guitar hero as much as most of my friends play, i give myself a proud 4. under half way is good enough for me jajaja

I lost my copy of guitar hero 1. I wanna try Rock Band. Supposed to be better. Also, I'm moving this thread to General Discussion.

lol at first I thought guitar hero would be like the whackest thing in the world but it turned out to be stankin revolutionary, even a bunch of the hip hop kiddies know how to play at my school.

I never played it myself though, dunno if thats good or bad haha

im a 1 in guitar hero. and my brother who is musically handicap i would consider a 10. i think your theory my have some truth behind it.

Fred Miu · Nov 29, 2007

rayan: Rock Band is soooo freaking sick. the best instrument IMO is the drums jaja

hahaha this thread is great! and i think aldrine is on to something. im by no means an expert, but ive been playing guitar for about 14 yrs. so i would maybe rate myself a 5 or 6 on the real deal. and a 2 on guitar hero set on EASY. hahaha

I'm horible at Guitar hero, any song there that uses atleast 3 of the buttons I can barely do.

haha mann I love the idea of Guitar hero, it's just I suck at it. I'm probably a 3 but I'm probably worse.

tsudawuda · Dec 1, 2007

i gotta say 8 guitar hero. BUT guitar hero nothing like a real stringed instrument. however the game is good to practice with since i think it helps move ur fingers faster.

CenizaT&K-01 · Dec 1, 2007

I have Guitar hero's 1, 2, and 3 and Rock Band. I'm amazing at all of them

;;

I'd give myself at least a 9 out of 10 on a scale. I can finish just about any song.

Great thread. I'd consider myself a compentent guitarist (7/8 ish), but the extent of my Guitar Hero skill is Medium. When I got Guitar Hero 2, I was like "I'm a decent player...Expert!". Yeah, right. lol...that was a disaster and my wife was there to witness it. She had a good laugh.

I have two issues with Guitar Hero:

1. The fingerings aren't really representative (duh, I know). But if you know how to actually play some of the tunes, muscle memory kicks in and your doomed.

2. I just can't play that straight. You have to play robotically to get the notes to register. The second you get into the groove and start to feel your way through the song, you're hitting wrong "notes".

Perfect example, anything by the Rolling Stones. Keith didn't play the parts straight, not even close. Yet I have to play them in perfect time in the game...while the game plays back the guitar part with all the swing and swagger you would expect. When your hands and the sound don't match, that'll screw you up.

Just my random thoughts.

I'm the opposite. I'm pretty decent at Guitar Hero, and I can't play a lick on uke or guitar. I guess it's because I played the old Guitar Freaks games back in the day by Konami.

I wanna play Rock Band!

clevacheva · Dec 25, 2007

haha yeah its pretty fun
i just started playin guitar hero III
i think im a 7/8

studentaccount1 · Dec 25, 2007

I was talking to a friend about it too. I have only played it once and didn't do that well. He is a good bass player and sucked too. Meanwhile, all the "non-musicians" ripped it up (well they didn't suck as bad).

It probably had to do with practice, but we think another reason they were better is because playing GH is more about following the visual cues than the audible cues which musicians naturally follow. .... could be totally wrong though...
