Subject: Guitar Hero III

about the same. although it is only K's of C that I can't do. Funny as I can play it on a proper guitar with my eyes closed...

Still play on easier levels trying to get 100%.

That's what i then started to do on medium. Get as many as i could up to 5 stars or 100%

I bought Rock Band yesterday. Don't think it warrants a new thread, as it's essentially the same game but with drums and a mic, too.

It's cool. Some good songs on there, unlike the hair rock found on GH III. I prefer a more contemporary shredding.

How is the mic on that? Always been intrigued at how that works...is it "accurate"?

No idea on two counts.

a) not got round to using it yet
ii) I play drums for a good reason

I can see this being a problem if you don't have any friends...i bet there's already some ridiculous Youtube videos of some loners playing the guitar, drums and mic simultaneously.

Ok, I did have a quick blast of Roxanne last night. I put the mic on the sofa arm and knelt on the floor with the guitar and singing in a silly falsetto. I didn't like getting too close to the mic because I sounded dreadful, but I was still nowhere near failing the song. I haven't seriously used it yet, though.

I think you will find that is how the original was recorded.

With Sting sitting on his keyboard at the start. Is that that song or is that a different Police song?

I think that is something else... it is sting sitting down and faded to from blues and two in closeup I think...cut to band montage and a few rubbish segues. I seem to remember him dress in an Adam Ant coat too...

Nah, just checked. It is Roxanne that I was thinking of. A few cords in, there's a random keyboard sound and a bit of laughing. Someone must have placed a keyboard near Sting's sofa for when he knelt down.
