Even some Cheat Codes :-) But you won't need Cheats after you read this. After you hone your skills see how to build your own Gibson Guitar Hero Controller using a real guitar. Tips And Tricks To Build A Real Guitar Controller Just In Time For Guitar Hero 3 Jake and Inez have been thrashing it up on Guitar Hero. My Gamer Score has benefited from Inez's mad skills, and dedication (or addiction) to the game. Watching them, here are some tips I can give. Getting Started: Don't be scared to restart a song. Unless you play a lot of Guitar, or have a side Job Milking Cows, your hands will get tired in a marathon round of GH2, so if you are sucking it up on a song start over and save going through all the work of failing. Sing Along. This sounds silly, but you will do better keeping rhythm if you sing as you strum. As you Progress: Don't panic! Just like Douglas Adams says... if you miss several notes, breathe, look 3 notes ahead and pick up there. If you get out of the beat you will miss lots of notes if you try to "catch up" Only Whammy When you are kicking ass. Star Power and Whammy when you are feeling confident. Most the time when Jake or Inez go for the Star Power or Whammy they miss a note, killing their bonus. Practice playing entire songs with the Guitar Vertical to help you learn to get good at not wrecking your streak when you Star Power. Guitar Hero 2 Multiplayer ActionYou may score the majority of your Star Power points by playing through the designated sections, but you can also boost your Star Power meter by working the whammy bar up and down every time you hit a long note that is outlined with a star. The faster you whammy the more Star Power you get. If you are going to use that Star Power the best chance is when you are holding a long note. Star power can be a great way to pass a song you were going to fail if you use it durring a tough section you only need to get about 1 in 3 notes to keep in the yellow, vs the 2 out of 3 you need with out. During particularly fast-paced sections of a song, you may notice the border around the notes change color. This signals an opportunity to stop strumming and focus on playing with the fret keys. Hit the strum button on the first note and then, so long as your timing stays clean you can rattle off the rest of the notes without strumming. Like the slide technique, this is a skill you should develop from the beginning so you're prepared for the more demanding songs. When you are a Rock God:Inez Rocking Out at Guitar Hero 2 Learning to "Slide" is hard. The yellow button has a bump to let you know where you are, but for the most part you will have to learn to slide on pure instinct. Playing easy songs with your pinky on the Orange Key (not pressing but touching) is a great way to practice. Watch the Tutorial on Hammering ON and Hammering Off. It is worth it. Practice on the easy levels to get your timing perfect. Notes that are hit with perfect timing are struck with lightning which builds your Star Power, and can turn round notes to Stars. *Cheats* You can use the "Back" button to activate star power instead of Tilting the Controller. Rubber Band the Green Button Down and you can play Advanced with out having to slide. ( not much of a Cheat ) Jake has how to get Achievements with out trying. *Codes* On The Main Screen Where it Shows "Career" B, O, Y, O, B, O, Y, Y Enables hyperspeed Y,B,Y,O,Y,B Air guitar B, B, Y, B, B,O,B,B Performance Mode BYORYORYRYRYRYRY Unlock All Songs OYYOYYOYYBYYBYY Flaming Heads Y,O,B,B,B,O,Y Eyeball Head Crowd O,Y,B,B,Y,O,B,B Monkey Head Crowd Cheats "Bing" when they are entered sometimes it takes a try or two you have to enter them fairly Fast Using the Hyperspeed Cheat is a great way to get used to the speed of Expert and Hard with out having to to learn to use all five frets at the same time.
