Guitar Hero III setlist leaked + GH3 Discussion Thread

[ertyu]

Is there like an Xbox Live calender that shows when they are releasing new songs? I remember they used to have one back in the day for other games. It's been too long without a new song T_T

Two words: Rock Band

New songs every week

damn right lol, i'm really enjoying RB... playing through world tour mode trying to do vocals and guitar at the same time is fucking awesome (and insanely hard until you get used to all the songs lol... >.>)

Haven't downloaded any songs yet, but there are a shitload of them on the marketplace..

TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No but in all seriousness, RB is fun =D

[Exoduso]

Yeah heh.

I finally got through TTFAF intro, tapping through it. Now I'm stuck on the Merman's solo...seriously how do you survive that?

Really? It took me like 50 tries to get past the intro but once I did I beat the song on my first try. I guess I just suck at the intro...

How were you getting through the intro? tapping with both hands or strumming and the green held down or what?

Strumming with the green button held down with my index finger and ignoring the orange notes. I alt strum though so missing the orange notes doesn't cause me to miss the following green pull off.

Did you try finger tapping? Can hit the first 242 notes of the intro easy but then you miss the first note of the first sweep bringing the guitar back up lol

I generally never play with my pinky so I can't reach for orange with that finger if I have to hold down green.

[Awoir]

Some people hold down green with the left index finger, then use left middle finger for red, right index for yellow, right middle for blue, and right ring for orange.

I can't do the whole "strum once and then put both hands on the neck" thing. That song is too fast for that. By the time I strum the first red and try to get my right hand up on the neck to do the hammerons I've missed one.

[Kaisha]

Only way I can do the TTFAF intro is by right-hand (my usual strummin arm) on the green fret, then handle the other 4 with my left hand. This setup allows me to easily recover whenever I screw up since it's only the one hand that's actually tapping the notes.

[Awoir]

Again, I prop the guitar up on my leg, use my right elbow to hit the strum bar, then use my right hand for the last 4 keys, seems to work well for me

[Kaisha]

Only problem with the leg prop is that it doesn't work well when you play standing up. ><
(unless you can balance on one leg the entire solo...)

[Awoir]

I just put a chair there to prop my leg up on for the intro, lol

Hah, my brother just showed me an interested way to do it. He bits the green button, plays the other four with his left hand and strums like normal. I tried it and got through the solo every time, haha.... The only problem is that you have to have your own guitar and be sure you haven't had an itchy ass for the last few weeks.

[Awoir]

I have a friend who rubber bands the green button for it, that seems like it'd be easier than biting your guitar >_> (Just snap the rubber band off the button, still on the neck quick when the intro is over)

I'd technically consider that cheating. I think if you use something other than your body to press buttons or strum it's outside the rules.

[MisterBob]

I reverse my hand to play it. (Pinky on green)

That's how i pull off the fast solos in RB.

Well, they got caipos for the real guitars and they do essentially the same thing. >.>
(sames my index finger some pain on songs played solely on the higher frets, no way in hell I'm bar'ing all them chords)

[Slott]

sigh my guitar is fucked up...when I hold the orange button down, sometimes it doesn't register, or registers real late. Fuckin a

[Exoduso]

lol finally got the 'who needs the power' achievement on Hard... >.> 202k.

Clean the contacts between the neck and the body, thats often the culprit. Also try using a rubber band to make it attach as tightly as possible.

And of course (I assume you already did this, but just in case...) replace the batteries. My controller starts doing wacky stuff when the batteries start to go. (They last around 25 hours of gameplay, for a reference)

[HAcoreRD]

I still can't do normal mode well. It seems like i cant react to Blue muchless orange, as I have 2 fingers do the work for Green, Red, Yellow.
