Guitar Hero III

If there are any other noobs like me having trouble with dealing with the switch from medium to hard, here's something I've tried. I go to practice and I practice the bass parts on expert. They're usually repetitive enough that I can figure out simple hand shifts and what works and what doesn't. It's really helped me deal with the orange notes and HOPOs without the constant rejection of failing songs.

Medium to Hard is definitely the biggest and most difficult transition in the game. It would be cool if there was a level in between with the 5th fret, but otherwise no additional difficulty piled on top of that.

Good tip practicing on the bass parts.

the transition definitely is tough! i would also recommend practicing a song with a lot of hammer ons and pull offs. if you can learn hos/pos, you will have a much easier time with hard mode.

And BTW the bass parts on expert have lots of opportunities to practice alt strumming.

It's a 'viral' achievement. So if you beat someone who's beaten a creator, you also get the achievement.

So basically you get the achievement if you beat someone who already has the achievement.

fwiw, the jump from M to H should be a tiny bit easier now. Every difficulty has it's own fretboard scroll speed now where as in GH2 it was just slow on E and M and fast on H and X.

Picked up a copy today finaly, was the last one at my local costco (89$ FTW). What do I need to do to get signed up for the previously mentioned senior's league ? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

GH noob here. I was cruising along the easy level until I reached Raining Blood. This song is killing me. Am I in a lot of trouble in this game if I have trouble on easy and the blue hasn't even entered the equation yet.
