Rock out with Guitar Hero, sans game

That's pretty cool.

.....and when the REV arrives all the fangirls can play air guitar.[snik!]

why don't you just get a real guitar? it's the gift that keeps on giving.

pfffbbbbttt. Unsung is one of the easiest songs on hard/expert. All repeats. I think Take It Off is way harder.

-p-

I agree JRM.
BTW- this game is amazing. I have finally started playing on hard mode, and man, that 5th fret is killing me! Any tips p-diddy? (aside from practice)

Cheers!

It's not really supposed to be comparable to playing a real guitar, it's just for fun, or for making interesting loops, rhythms, etc. A real guitar doesn't come with 60+ different instrument voices, does it?

This thing sounds like it might be similar to the MOOG SYNTHESIZER that was quite popular back in the late 60's [I remember] It could be used by itself [really neat,freaky outer spacey music] or as an accompaniment.Lots of musicians tried it but I think it cost lotsa $$'s to buy.

Deth -

In hard mode they're still easing you into using the 5th fret (orange button). You'll usually find that for long sections of a song you'll not need to use either the 1st or the 5th fret allowing you to keep your hand in one position and play as you did in normal difficulty mode. Of course this leads to problems if you forget which position you've left your hand in...

Speaking of guitar hero, I finally beat Bark at the Moon on Expert last night, and I've not managed to get it to play a single song without locking up since, have I rocked the game into submission? Bizarre...

I agree with Dave C. On Hard when you get to sections that use the 5th fret you can typically slide your hand down to 2345 because you won't hit usually hit 1. But this is exactly why I think Unsung is easy: it is a lot of chord repeats. Many of the other songs require you to do pull-off runs or jump around the frets. I was stuck on Iron Man for a while because of the solo. Even so I usually get only 3 stars on the Hard songs. :-/ Unsung just happens to be the song I'm best at.

This is a midi controller. It has no "sounds". Analog synths (and the Moog) have an incredible complexity of sound due to their unpredictability, changing tones based on how they've warmed up, practically going out of tune based on the phase of the moon ;)

Anyway, before being blown away by the overabundance of poor moog playing and the stale predictability of the DX7, they have nearly nothing to do with this soundless controller :)

For the record... Unsung is easy! But it's one of my favorite (thrashier) tracks in the game. I love the ending... it's quite melodic and surreal IMO. Especially if you activiate star power at that point... everyone clapping... oh to be a rock star! hehe
