I forgot to mention it's still relatively new and does crash randomly.
Hopefully they fix it soon. |

QUOTE (FretDancer69 @ Jun 20 2007, 01:44 AM)  ive always wanted to try this game, and i recently got an Xbox360 but idk if i should buy this game. Does this game really improves at least in a minium percentage your guitar skills, in any way? because if not id rather practice with a real guitar. Having done both.... The skills don't really translate back and forth with the game and a real guitar. There's a video out there somewhere of one of the original guitar players for one of the songs in the game completely bombing out on it. There are some very small things that cross over though. For a non-guitar player, the red-orange reach is typically pretty difficult. You don't see a lot of going back and forth between them or red-orange chords til late in the game on the high levels. I had a hard time with it for a year or so. Then when I got my guitar, I didn't play GH for a few months. When I went back, I was overshooting orange a bit because I can reach a lot further now than I did before. Also, I think guitar players are more oriented towards repetitive practice to get the muscle memory locked in than non-guitar players do. As the game progresses, you really can't rely on your eyes reading the notes as they come down as fast as they do (witness: Buckethead's Jordan, 5 stars on Expert. Think sightreading but only getting to see two bars at a time. GH does help a little bit with left hand finger strength and independence if you're a raw newbie at guitar like I was. When you're just starting out on guitar, your fingers move together a lot and your ring finger and pinkie are pretty weak. The higher levels of the game force you to use your pinky. So, while I don't doubt that playing Guitar Hero well and practicing real guitar do affect each other at least in the early stages, I wouldn't recommend practicing one to improve with the other. I'll keep playing and improving in both. GH is going to be the only way for me to play Jordan probably.

If you go to the forums on the site I linked, you'll see a forum for songs. You have to sign up but it's well worth it!
