Video 1: Guitar Hero II demo - Strutter (expert) with fingering!

(skip the first minute if you hate me)

I did this so people (who haven't bought the demo) could see what expert looks like. It has a lot of three-button-chords, which are new to GH2. At the same time, I decided to show the live-action part of it (frets/strum on the plastic guitar), and put it at the top of the video. I flipped the video so it's a mirror image, that way the colors match up, making it easier to follow along.

So while this was just meant to show a new song, it's a pretty good video to send to friends who have never seen the game before, or people who are having trouble with chords and finger positions, and want to see a good shot of it.



Video 2: Guitar Hero Playing Positions

A video demonstration of some different playing positions for Guitar Hero. Included are positions such as "flat," "upright bass," "cross arm," and more, all done during a single song (You Got Another Thing Comin' - Hard)! Finished with a five star review. I know this is an easy song, it's not really meant to be impressive!




You can read my original post about the videos on my site. It has a lot more information, so please check it out if you liked either of the videos:

WOW, I haven't really seen Guitar Hero at work until now but that's looks fun as hell. I must pick up the first Guitar Hero when it drops in price.

Just curious but can Guitar Hero be a good introduction to learning how to play an actual guitar. I have never learn to play an instrument in my life but I was thinking maybe this game could get me into doing it before I make the serious investment on buying a guitar and scheduling lessons.

I do behind the head.

One of these days I'm going to pick up one of those wireless ones and try to work in some actual acrobatics.

Oh yes, and did you all catch the CAG reference in the first vid?

I up everytime I try behind the head...I can do sideways / back turned to the screen sometimes, though.

And, of course, you gotta jump around a lot.
