Guitar Hero 3

Re: Guitar Hero 3

those of you who use your pinky on the orange at all times, I need some help. I have tried this but cannot figure it out at all. How do you hit the green and red ones if you are using the index only for those two? Everytime i try to do as everyone says i revert back to my four fingers on the first four buttons then end up jumping all over the frets. Im up to level seven on hard but now im stuck and imagine i need to learn a new way to hold it.

This is JMO, but if you're on Tier 7 Hard, I think it's about time to start learning to slide your hand up and down the neck. You might have made it that far, but the remaining Hard songs (and just about all of Expert) will eat you alive if you just try to reach for the buttons.

Not just your opinion. That's a fact, Jack.

I move my hand up and down, but thats not the problem. Then problem lies in trying to have my index finger be on red instead of green, and pinky on orange instread of blue. When i try this, I always revert back to putting my fingers on the first 4 buttons, while everyone here says that to master this game you need to have your fingers 1 fret below, with index on red. My question is, there ius no way for me to reach my index from red to green while keeping my pinky on orange, so how is this done, and how is it accomplished when there are red and green notes while keeping the pinky on orange? I have large hands (im 6'6") so i thought that might benifit me, but maybe its a problem?

dont keep your pinky on orange then..

either keep the index finger on green and then the rest of your fingers in the same order, or shift down....meaning the pinky will be either on blue or orange depending on whether you are going up or down the neck of the guitar. In other words, you cover either green, red, yellow and blue, or red, yellow, blue and orange.

I have been trying this with pretty good results, as my fingers arent long enough to be able to keep my hands stationary on a set of frets and using the index for just red and/or green; i have no choice but to resort to reposition my hand.

I beat it on Hard last night. I played through the entire final tier in one sitting and after those songs, the battle, and the song during the credits, I thought my hand was going to fall off! Brutal stuff! I can't even imagine it on Expert . . . . but I will try that next.

I cannot beat the last bass bottle on hard. I lose at the same *** **** part everytime.

For some reason I beat all 3 bosses on my first try. Always towards the end of the song though.

I am sure they will get their revenge on Expert.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Still stuck on Raining Blood Mosh 1 Expert. I've actually come to terms with the fact that I'll never get to face Lou.

Wii Les Paul to be available 11/08...?

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I finally beat it on expert yesterday...got lucky through Mosh 1 of Raining Blood only to lose at 91% in the song. After nearly breaking my tv, I rebounded to beat it and after a few tries beat Lou.

The song you win for beating it "Through the Flames and Fire" is INSANE.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I've been playing with the controller. I know that's sac religious, but I'm just not willing to put out the money for the actual guitar controller.

Anyway, I've been running through the campaign on medium and have gotten as far as the battle against Lou, the devil thingy. I completely flopped and lost to him

you owe it to yourself to play the game with the controller meant for it. Thats like playing a DDR game with the controller as well. There's no fun in that.

Yeah, I'd say you are only getting 5% of the Guitar Hero experience by playing with a regular controller. The Guitar controller is well worth the money.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

How do you play without the guitar? do use the stick to strum? what about the whammy? I would think playing with a regular controller would be almost impossible. At the very least unintuitive.
