Which?? The only worthy ones are FOO's and VR packs.

I downloaded "We Three Kings" and Halo3 soundtrack yesterday, they're cool

There is supposed to be some Chiristmas songs on the way, not sure when...

Isn't there a warner pack up and some others? maybe not worthy but avaliable.

*looking now* theres the warner/reprise pack which is 2 songs 500 points: No More Sorrrow(Linkin Park) Sleeping Giant (Mastadon)
Then some random tunes that are 200 each and I have never heard of them.

I hope they get some decent packs released soon.

I'm soo tempted to buy this

Sorry for not reading the whole thread and i'm sure these have been answered, but could anyone help me out with these questions ?

- Which guitar is best to get for it ? Looks like gthere are a few different ones.

- Can you play online ( live ? )

- Rockbands coming out soon, is it worth just waiting ? Will the GH3 guitar work with rockband ?

thanks a lot

Well there are 2 guitars for the 360. The explorer and the les paul. Go for the les paul as you have nothing to compare it to. The les paul is bundled with GH3.

Yep you can play online.

If you have the money by GH3 now. If buying this means you wont buy Rock Band then dont buy it. If we are talking about Xbox 360 then the Les Paul will work with Rock Band but you wont get the full features.

Hi all,

Got GH3 today and seem to be having some problems with the guitar

When I am in the in game menus the cursor is constantly scrolling and will not allow me to simply flick up or down, its just going 100mph as if I were holding the strum bar down. Sometimes it is ok, but 80% of the time its scrolling away like mad.

When I get into a game I find it goes ok for a while but then its as if I have stopped playing as nothing gets registered.

Guess my strum bar is knackered? Any history of these guitars being dodgy?

Got this today for christmas. what a gift !

loving it so far . played a bit easy career and im now onto the british songs. great stuff

Andybtsn · 28 Dec 2007 at 22:36

Guys, I'm really embarressed to post this but I can't for the life of me 5* Slayer - Raining Blood. It's so annoying, I want to 5 * all Easy songs and I can't do this song!! Just keep getting 89k odd and about 92% notes hit. Any ideas?? What score would get me 5 star?

R0B75 · 28 Dec 2007 at 22:40

I can't do it either. I can only get 3 stars. What's worse is it's one of my favorite songs

Scratchy · 28 Dec 2007 at 23:18

Being new to GH I was trying to 5* all the songs on easy then move onto medium, Raining Blood is the only song I haven't been able to 5* within 3 attempts - going to give it a proper go tomorrow its good to know I'm not the only n00b having a problem with this one

spoonz · 29 Dec 2007 at 17:29

PLEASE tell me ill get better

Half way through easy and tryed medium :O

Not hammering on and pulling off as of yet and only strumming one way, will strumming both ways give an advantage?

Will the natural learning curve help me do this? I think its a great game just hoping I can do play well with practice

Tobes · 29 Dec 2007 at 17:36

I still only strum one way. One of these days I will decide its time to learn how to strum both. But I don't find it natural unless its single strings that are played for REAL on the song. Because strumming up would give a different sound to strumming down.

Thanks, as long as I know it wont impact my game I will concentrate on getting the power on pull offs sorted as I will need them on Medium-Hard.

Check this site out.

It has the point cut offs for all the songs. I have found it most useful.

Power on pull offs? I just hold it down till the end, am I doing wrong?

no, check the advanced techniques in tutorials

MarkLP · 29 Dec 2007 at 21:41

Will take a peek! Thanks

The hammer-on & pull-offs kind of threw me to begin with because I was trying to do them like playing a real guitar and leaving my finger on the previous button for hammer-ons or already having my finger on say green to pull off from yellow for pull-offs, I realise now its easier to just hit the buttons as you go
