You can play the bass lines in the practise section.

I dont get the whole guitar hero thing...why not just play a real guitar? How the hell does the thing work?

It's just a game - what's the point of any game really?? It's like a dancemat type thing but instead of standing on the correct button in time to the music, you have to hit it with the guitar controller. It's loads of fun and waaaaaaaay harder than playing normal guitar!!

Exactly. Think "Dance Dance Revolution" for your hands. And yeah, it is tons-o-fun, or at least untill you make it to the "hard" level. At that point the difficulty ramps up pretty fast, and note placement doesn't really feel right. The difficulty settings above "hard" should be relabeled as "insane" and "psychotic". Still, play it at a pace just at the edge of your capabilities and you'll be playing for hours on end...

Here's a sample for you...

I agree - hard and expert are faaaaaaaar too complicated. I like to play it on medium. I can get pretty good scores on that level.

Ok I watched the Youtube video but I still dont get it..if you play guitar in real life why not just learn these songs on the guitar? In fact, even if you dont play the guitar why not go out and buy yourself a cheapier start-up guitar and learn to play it then do this game?

Other than its fun?:danceboy:


Uhhhh......your fingers won't bleed playing this game. Sorry, its the only excuse I got at the moment...

What's there to "get". It's not meant to make you better at guitar or even a game for guitarists. So I'm going to go buy some guns and start shooting people instead of playing Tomb Raider, or go steal some cars instead of playing Grand Theft Auto. Some people don't want to learn guitar but find the game fun. Ok, my head just exploded now...

Krokus did cover it, but Sweet did the originally, and of course "made it famous". Perhaps, it could have been phrased "in the style of" rather than "made famous by."

And it was Golden Earring who did the original Radar Love and made it famous. I never really liked White Lion's cover.

Ahhhh, I see. Thanks!!!

Oh THAT Radar Love - that song is awesome!
