MrRant 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I have such a dumb question but how many play on hard normally and how long did it take for you to play normally on hard? I tried it last night with Rockband 2 and I got to the point where I was just ready to start smashing the guitar. My have a few problems when trying to play on hard. 1. I tend to move my hand over to fast and forget where the buttons are. 2. After a few notes are played, I can't tell what fingers are on what buttons and have to look down to replace my fingers. 3. when a blue note comes up, 85% of the time I'll go right for the orange button. Any tips on handling the guitar while playing on hard mode? Learn to slide your index finger from Green to Red so that if your index is on Red, your pinky is on Orange, index on Green then pinky is on Blue. Helps a lot.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Also, get used to and note the little bumps that are on each button and as Rant said, learn to slide your hand down the neck while still in contact with the buttons instead of lifting it and moving down. Eventually you will be able to know the buttons by feel and not have to look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2008 Man, I like Metallica, but fuck "Battery" in the ass. I got to the end of a 6 song West Coast Setlist (guitar on hard) and failed at 71% twice, and I lost the progress for the 5 songs before. I'll have to switch difficulties for this song, I think.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2008 Yeah my friend and I were doing the Rolling Stone Setlist and got "Battery" and "Painekiller" back to back. I nearly threw my guitar out the window. BTW, "Rob the Prez-o-dent" is one wierd song to play guitar on. So offbeat and just odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
