Guitar Hero 2

Am I the only one who trips out after playing this game for a long period of time? I've never taken acid before, but this is what I imagine its like.

You're not the only one. After I played the first game so many times, everytime I had my eyes closed, there were colors everywhere!!

I already know about 2/3 of the songs on the list though that would probably hurt me more than help.

Actually, I think it helps especially on the more difficult songs. You know the basic song structure and syncopation, therefore you concentrate more on the fingering and less about following the rhythm.

As a lefty, I like how you can switch it so the colors are on the opposite side of the screen, but I wish the damn whammy bar was either removable, or they offered a purely lefty guitar.

I think it was only like 5 percent of the players were left handed so they weren't going to bother making a left handed guitar. Maybe a 3rd party will.

I know, but I still like to bitch about it. ;) Fortunately, I found a guitar store that ONLY carries left-handed guitars. Should get my Gretsch 6120 Brian Setzer signature model by the middle of January.

When I went to the Predators game last month I spent half an hour just wandering around Gruhn's. Talk about temptation.

Places like that usually only have 2-3 lefties And no, I don't just wanna flip over a Strat. This guitar store is however getting 2 Gretsch White Penguins in. Had the only lefty PRS Dragon also.

The strat I built has a lefty neck, does that count? I need a new amp, I'm heading to guitar center for a day to play around since I have most of the next week off.

Sort of for that quasi-Hendrix look. Tube or solid state?

[Chadd 916]

70's Traynor tube combo with EL84s. I sold a lot of my other gear including my Dual Rectifier head/cabinet, 77 marshall and rack gear. I need to get something that doesn't rip my face off when I turn it all the way up to "2". I'll charge up the camera and dig up the old guitar topic to post them.

[Drewhunz 3]

Find an old Mesa/Boogie Heartbreaker. My first amp, and still the one I go back to. Still have a weak spot for the Soldano Astroverb, and Fender Vibroverb. Never should have traded the Vibroverb for a Matchless. To snotty of an amp.

[Chadd 916]

I've heard good things about the B52 all tube combo. I'm going to check one out at Guitar center tomorrow

I've been playing it alot more lately. Its different then other games. You dont have to have strategy and you cant buy the nicest assesories to help you win. I think its funner to play on the songs you actually like. I like the Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana and the RATM one.

But I gota be honest on two things. When I play a song like War Pigs, my wrist is burning by the end. lol

And I got a cheat so I didnt have to beat the songs to get all of them. I couldnt stand only playing the first couple.

Best game ever. I have both the second and first one.

but that was hilarious

I have GH2 and 2 controllers. If I buy GH1, will it work with the new controllers?

My eyes hurt because I try to keep them open for long periods of time and it does take a beating on your fingers.

you think plastic hurts? Try playing with real strings for a few hours. If you don't toughen them up gradually, you're bleeding all over the place.

Haha. This is exactly what my brother was telling me. As I complained how hard medium was, he was like yawning on expert and telling me its nothing compared to a real guitar.

Yes, both guitars with work with either game.

Yeah same for me. After a few songs, If I look away from the tv it seems like the whole room is moving.

Great game though. I'm working my way through expert now.

[Dougie8 0]

I played this game for the first time EVER tonight. I thought it was just gonna be a mediocre(sp?) game but then after i quit i was heading back for more, i'm in the medium section and some of those songs a freakin hard. Theres only a few songs on the game that I like, others are too metal(ish) for my liking. Is there anyway to get songs other then the ones on the game?

[DamnLocust 0]

what would be the point of a video game based on playing electric guitar in a rock band if the songs aren't metal(ish)?

no no no, thats not what i'm saying, i just dont like metal music. good game though.

[DamnLocust 0]

So your wish would be for a guitar playing game with no metal in it.

to that I ask,

what would be the point of a video game based on playing electric guitar in a rock band if the songs aren't metal(ish)?

anything else would be far too easy and boring. Guitar Hero-Metal = Guitar Zero.
