Guitar Hero Revisited

Sorry for this post but I rushed it. A little while ago I talked about being a guitar hero. Well this past friday my equipment arrived. I opened it up, plugged it in and got started.

Two and a half hours latter I looked at the clock. How could it possibly have gotten so late. I must admit I had a fun time. These pictures are staged, and poorly done at that. But it will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

You have a guitar controler. Notice the five fret keys (green, red, yellow, blue, and orange). You watch the TV and it tells you which note or notes to play. There are 4 or 5 difficulty settings, I choose the easy setting for now which means only green, red and yellow and only one note at a time most of the time.

Now my other hand is where you strum the note. There is also a wha wha lever for the long notes.

You start out with 10 songs to play and, once you go on a carrer track you can unlock locations and songs. I have 25 songs now since I am a Guitar Hero on the easy setting.

You are not actually playing. What happens is they have you play something that is very simular to the notes that are playing. If you hit the right note at the right time it plays that part of the song, otherwise it flubs the note. After a little you really feel like you are playing. Let me say once again, I had a lot of fun with this. One of these days if I get my hands on some real pictures I will include them but being rushed and taking self pictures I just did not do such a good job here.

This is how I spent many hours on Saturday which did not help my arm. I don't know if it was the game or the fall from earlier but wow. I have to get back into this at the medium setting. One of my favotite songs still has to be More Than a Feeling.

OK, so maybe my carrer is on hold for a little while I get some practice in. I think the band should be available sometime this summer if anyone is interested.

Oh and I just had to do this one for Top Cat. Sorry for the cheap knock off Top Cat.



It’s more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin’ away

When I’m tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. she slipped away.

It’s more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin’ away
-- Boston: More than a feeling
