A couple of days ago I went for the 200K point achievement and managed to get 244K on Freebird and 5-star it (on medium). And tonight I got Institutionalized.

I still need Madhouse, Hangar 18, Psychobilly Freakout and a couple more. I managed to 4-star Psychobilly today but doubt I'll ever get that last star. I hate that song [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

When you finally "get" a song, it's a great feeling. Madhouse had been killing me, I'd only gotten 70k on hard. Today, I just suddenly "got" it. 114k, then 159k, then 180+k.

Same thing with Carry Me Home. All I'm missing (from 5 starring medium) is Institutionalized and Psychobilly (two songs I can't stand) and Free Bird.

Really is a great game.

Strange, I'm a 3-star machine on Hard but I completely dominate the songs you listed on Medium. Hard is getting frustrating...the boos are starting to rain down on me but then I kinda get it together and stumble across the finish line

I finally five starred Free Bird and Institutionalized and got the VIking guitar.

But Hard is kicking my ass. I'm actually stuck on the second tier of songs. I can't complete Woman. The beginning of the solo featuring a bunch of pull-offs is something I just can't do. I go to practice mode and find it easy at all the slow speeds, but can't manage it at normal speed. Hammer ons are easy, but I can't move my fingers fast enough to do the pull-offs. Frustrating as hell.
