    My wife bought this for me for christmas. I have been playing it for the past few nights and im totaly addicted.

    I finally beat it on medium so i tried hard....holy , i did one song, barely...

    i dont know who on earth could even finish a song in expert, much less beat the game.

    Its not that hard (thats what she said) but you just need to learn how to either slide your hand over for the orange. I am almost done with the play list on hard, then on to expert.

    Best advice, start playing with your index finger on red and pinky on orange. Your index is better to control to hop over to the green than your pinky to have to get the orange. Hope you know what I mean.

    At any given time I have 4-6 14yr old boys in my house playing this game. It is very entertaining. I have watched so much I'm tempted to try it myself. Unfortunately I'm afraid I would end up neglecting all responsibilities if I start.

    I couldn't even play "Our Lips Are Sealed" on the easiest setting, got frustrated and gave up...never to play again

    Good to hear that; the last thing I need is something to compete with my all consuming Sudoku addiction!

    I've found the only people who ever say this are people who don't play guitar. Interestingly.

    I say this and I play guitar. I do own Guitar Hero II and I think it's fun,
    but if you're going to dedicate that much time to it then why not try focusing that energy on an actual instrument?

    That being said, playing the game itself isn't much like playing a guitar at all other than the coordination and dexterity exercises it provides.

    Most of the people I know who play it play it as a party game when they're all drunk. I personally don't own the game but I do play it a lot at parties... but most people hit the strum thing in one direction which is completely against how a real guitar should be played. When I first started learning guitar, I did that, and it stunted my progress until I started strumming and picking upward and downward.

    I just could never get around playing on that stupid guitar controller. It pisses me off that it only has five buttons instead of six. But the game is simply a glorified mixtape... all you're doing is listening to an mp3, and most of the songs are covers... for example the version of Pride and Joy by SRV on the new game sucks so hard, it's a slap in the face to Stevie. Why not just burn a mix CD of the Guitar Hero track list and crank that in your stereo... that's all playing the game is.

    Moderation. Nobody's talking about dedicating their lives to it here. , I probably won't play it much a few weeks from now and I'll move on to another mindless waste of time like TV.

    for example the version of Pride and Joy by SRV on the new game sucks so hard, it's a slap in the face to Stevie.
    Yeah the Pride and Joy remake is an abortion. But most of the songs on GHIII are from the actual master tracks.

    One thing that's fun is to play your real guitar over the bass/drums in Practice mode. I think there's also a cheat that will prevent you from failing in quick play, so you'd get the vocals too, and it works as a sort of guitar karaoke.

    I think the "video crowd" would still boo you off the stage.

    I agree. I wasn't referring to anyone here, I meant the people you see in the videos further up the thread who have obviously spent a lot of time playing this game.
    People who appear to have spent possibly hundreds of hours perfecting "expert" level. If they could channel that dedication in to learning guitar or any other instrument they could use that as an outlet for actual creativity rather than covering someone else's work.

    Similar to what JT said I see this as a party game. In fact the last time I played it was a couple of months ago when my wife and I had some friends over for dinner and drinks.
