Attempted the first song on medium

Ahahahaha! I don't rock anymore

Gonna be a while before I clear any songs on that bugger, and there's two more difficulty levels after that!
you curse the blue button now, but it will become natural..

Just wait til that orange button sticks his oar in!

Orange!?

Are real guitars wireless?
Mine is (or can be at least).
So, what you're saying is, it isn't, then?

These four are wireless:

It occurs to me that some Pink Floyd tracks to download, integrated with the Neon engine would be quite fun - playing your own Floyd concert.

EDIT:
You could use the LiveVision camera to map your own head onto the characters on stage.

I'm a musician of the real kind and I look at GH and it makes me go bleh

I'm not much of a real musician any more but I blame my utter crapness
at all rhythm games down to it. I try to follow various lines and end up
improvising on top and it all goes to shit. I hate them.

Are you sure they were for the 360 version? I believe (and perhaps someone can confirm) that they HAVE made a wireless guitar for the PS2 version but not yet for the 360.

On a releated note.......

Must.......resist......temptation........to buy it..........

Orange button makes it easier once you've got used to it in most cases, because you get used to moving your hand around the fretboard more. You get used to improving your economy of effort a lot.

Only the places where it's doing a tapping riff involving both green and orange close together does it get to be a bitch.

I failed - have been out and bought GH2 for the 360 (only Â£65 from HMV, seemed to be Â£70 everywhere else).

It rocks........not much more to say other than that at the moment.......

I'm a musician of the real kind and I look at GH and it makes me go bleh - horrible pretend make believe thats going to feel and be absolutely horrible next to the real thing. I just can't get my head around it.

Is it as horrible to a real muscicanas I fear it is or can you actually get passed that and enjoy it even though you're hankering for 6 strings and a good amp?

G

Yep, I play guitar a bit and my stepson does *a lot*. He's done very little but play electric guitar for the last 5 years and has a degree in musical performace.

We both love it.

He craps all over me on GH. I think if you're good on guitar you'll probably have a headstart on GH.

One thing that GH offers which is good for *real* guitarists is the ability to improve your sense of rhythm.

I stuck my nose up at when GH1 was announced because I figured that because I play *properly* it would have nothing to offer.

As it is it's probably in my all time top 5 games.

Where i think being able to play the guitar helps as well is with the quick changing chord shapes. If you hands are used to that sort of dancing about it makes it easier definitely.

No, I'm saying it is if I can be arsed to unpack my wireless system from it's box and stick a battery in it.

GH2 seems to be Â£64.99 at play.com so I'll give Blockbuster a plug.

Â£59.99

(I hope that applies to every store and not just my local)

I remember reading that drummers in bands found it easier than the guitarists did.

Which leads to much amusement on the tour bus.

Funny that, because my drummer was utter shite at Donkey Konga.
