  1. Re:What's next? on Complete Set List for Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1

    I found that Jessica was the best song to practice on to get good at sweeping.

    There is one advantage to being good at the epic solos... you can draw crowds in stores like Best Buy. I 98%'ed Hangar 18 on expert (missed a few notes towards the end) and by the time I finished a crowd of about 10 people were standing behind me watching. When I finished it and turned around, they applauded.

    It was cool. :)

    I can usually 99% Jessica in stores, but I haven't played in months so I probably can't anymore. :/

    Anyways, good luck, and play guitar more!

    Based upon your username, I'll assume you're a fellow guitarist.

    I found Bark at the Moon and Cowboys from Hell to be MUCH harder than Hangar 18 and Free Bird. This is probably due to the lack of proper hammer-ons/pull-offs in GH1.

    Or maybe it's because I pretty much play nothing but death metal solos (on real guitar) which use a lot of sweep picking/sweep tapping. My hand coordination/timing is quite good...

    This is an example of the stuff I play: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pehhwVQID3U

    Metal requires skill to play though, isn't that the point?

    Why plunk along with Smoke on the Water when you can sweep pick through Hangar 18?

    No?

    The only song that would top Hangar 18 + Free Bird as a finale would be Dueling Banjos.

    Guitar Hero: Clear Channel Top 40 edition?

    Guitar Hero 2 has the best set list of all the games so far... by a long shot.

    Good Lord.

    If you suck that much at installing Linux, don't EVER try BSD. (which makes me wonder why you're switching to Fruit, since Fruit = BSD with a shiny GUI).

    Although, I personally think Debian's installer is easier to use than Ubuntu's... even if it does look like something straight out of the mid-90s.
