Spanky don't you play Guitar?

Why yes, Yes I do.

@ Stenda: Hangar 18 is a hard song. People have gotten 100% on it though. You see, there are reasons why some songs are easy to clear but hard to get 100% (Trogdor and Beast and the Harlot)

Then there are reasons why there are songs that are hard to clear but possible to get 100% on with enough practice. (hangar 18).

Then there are songs that people cant get 100% on simply because theyre hard as hell. Period. (Jordan)

For Trogdor, no one can get 100% because of the solo. There's a part at the end of the solo that runs a scale up and down, then does the same scale one button higher, and then goes into a picking section that requires you to pick at a consistent 15 notes per second. The combination of the three has proven impossible so far.

Next up is Beast and the Harlot. There's a section of the solo that requires you to pick an ascending scale in triplets at 15 notes per second. The timing isnt as hard as the changes themselves, which are hard to do whilst keeping the rhythm.

Jordan? Well, play the song and you'll see why nobody has gotten 100% yet. Namely solo C.

I have 100% on 16 songs as of now, and I have a feeling it's gonna be hard to hit even 20. The best players (HellAshes, Priest MLH, popemobile) have around 60 songs with 100%.

I also don't think I'll ever get 100% on Hangar 18. It's tough. Maybe if that was the oNLY song I played for the next few weeks, I could get it, but until then, I'm happy with just five stars.

I guess you playing guitar for real helps outinthe game. My fingers are so cramped from playing. I don't get how you can play on hard. Most songs, easy is ahrd to me. THere's acouple I'll attempt on medium.

[Capn Spanky]

It only helps with dexterity and co-ordination really. Rhythm, timing, and everything else comes with practice. Also, knowing the songs well will help you too. It's a great game though. Great game.

[FrkUout]

I gotten better bu tI'm nowhere near you or Calico when it comes to score or stars. I've managed my way half-way through the medium tour.

[Capn Spanky]

I'm interested in Calico's scores now. After getting back from my rafting trip I dropped out of the top 500. I'll be getting back there soon enough though because I'm extremely close to getting a Perfect Run on Shout at the Devil, Cherry Pie, and Sweet Child of Mine. Plus, I'm about 100k short of an excellent run on Killing in the Name. I just can't break 500k on that song. I'm planning on going into practice mode for a while on that one.

Here's my scores

[FrkUout]

I cannot touch those scores.

[Capn Spanky]

Just keep practicing Rick.

[TequilaDo]

i bought this game yesterday, and my wrist hurts like no other.

[SpartanProject2]

i wanna play...but i dont want to spend 80$ for it to end up like my DDR...i dont play that anymore lol

[Capn Spanky]

I think I'm playing in a tourney tomorrow. I hope its not Bring your own guitar, because I don't have a 360 guitar. Otherwise, winner gets a copy of the game an autographed control, and tickets to see Korn, Trivium, Atreyu, Evanescence, Hellyeah, 5 Finger Death Punch, and the rest of the Familky Values tour. THere's gonna be a tourney there too. WInner of that meets Jonathan Davis of Korn, and gets his signature series Ibanez K7 (real guitar ftw.) autographed by Jonathan Davis ($$$)

[FrkUout]

Sweet...good luck

[Capn Spanky]

Thanks. I hope I win tickets to Family values. I want to see Trivium, Atreyu, and KoRn. I have moved up to Number 483 on scorehero. Better runs on YYZ, Killing in the Name, Less Talk More Rokk, and Institutionalized.
