Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here's a video of a freaking insane song on GH3. I lke that they've added the on-screen note streak info.

Also, the comic underneath the video is kinda funny.

Thanks for the vid.

There's actually a separate thread that has become the semi-official GH3 thread:

Ah yeah, I was thinking that might be it, but it didn't really seem to be the official #3 thread, at least by title.

I have some general newbie questions

What exactly is the input for an HO/PO? Like notes A and B are next to each other, you hit note A and strum, and then hit and hold B, and then it counts only when you release A? Any good passages where I can practice this?

Do people consistently strum up and down even in the slow parts? The only time I do it is during a bunch of the same note in a row coming fast.

I have stubby little fingers, how screwed am I when I get to hard+? I am working on 5 starring all of medium and doing OK.

Why is there so few master tracks? They bought the rights to the songs, why not use them, or at least use the vocals?

Billian dollar babies has a good hammer on part right at the beginning of expert, kinda fast though. I don't have the biggest hands, but I'm fc'ing through the experts atm, fc'd 9 or 10. Just play a lot and eventually you'll get the groove.

Yes, but if A is a lower note than B, you can keep A held down as well, like from green to yellow. Similarly when you're descending you can start my holding both notes, and then just let go of B and A will play automatically. Some songs to practice HOPOs on are Jessica, LTMR, and Freebird.

It's a preference thing really. A lot of players, including myself, do it this way.

I have the same problem. All I can suggest is that you use your ring and pinky as much as you can.

I really have no idea what was up with the slim amount of masters on GHII but thank god GH3 is mostly master tracks.

fk I've totally plateaued at hard difficulty, some of these songs just seem ridiculously insane to get good scores on, I could practice the intro to carry me home a million times and never 100% it. And institutionalized GOD. I can pass most songs on the 1st-3rd try but actually getting 95%+ is going to be ridiculous. blah annoying.

new DLC is/was supposed to hit the XBL marketplace today, but people over at scorehero have said it's not available yet..

keep your eyes open:

Trivium - "Detonation"
Atreyu - "Right Side of the Bed"
Protest the Hero - "Bury the Hatchet"

I finally beat Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For people still trying to beat it on expert, you need full star power and you have to make it through to the first solo in the green on the rock meter (which can be difficult given the end of the break). If you are in green, you should be able to make it through solo A without star power.

My only advice for solo A is not to overstrum. You get tempted to just strum as fast as possible; but this will actually hurt your rock meter. You're better off setting a reasonable tempo and try to HOPO as many notes as possible. This should get you through it one out of four times.

If you're lucky enough to get through solo A, activate star power right before solo B and it should last you long enough to make it out of the solo. Once you hit the blue note of freedom you've made it.
