Interesting Idea for Custom GH songs

[Huwonk]

I might be able to help with this, but doubtful since I suck. I might be able to write a few of the guitar parts, but I don't really have a good means of recording.

How about custom songs that are available to the public (our creations) that are used as finger and hand training tools?

A few examples:

A) HO/PO training. A song with various combinations of HO/PO at various speeds. Including trills, scales, fret skips, etc...

B) Strum training. A song with various consecutive notes at various speeds. Trying to figure out how to strum the fast 16th notes in the first solo in Who Was In My Room? or the 32nd notes in Beast and the Harlot or Trogdor? Practice technique here!

C) Chord change training. A set of chord changes that vary in both difficulty and speed. Very helpful for songs like Trogdor/John the Fisherman/Crazy On You (intro) etc...

Does anyone else like this idea or have any other suggestions?

Edit: It might be hard to distribute unless we offered a patch only and people had to have their own ISO.

I think that's a cool idea, it'd definitely help people, and it'd be fun aswell ('specially the HOPO one).

edit: although, I think with the training mode, it'd probably just be easier to spend a little time in there.

Good point, but what happens when new songs are introduced? I'd prefer to have solid technique to just knowing how to play a single song real well (note that most of my scores are top 50 and most of my GH2 scores so far are pretty good). It isn't from practicing the songs, it is from working on technique. Okay, well I think that maybe it is a bad idea now. It'd be a lot of effort and not even everyone could use it. Maybe if I could do it on Freetar Hero instead...

What would you use for the sound though? I guess play your own triplets or whatever on you own guitar and put them in?

I think it would be a good thing to have some basic songs that are freely available for people new to GH hacking to be able to use. Whereas the majority of the songs we create, the vgs file is off limits for sharing and we have to leave it up to the end user to find and create the vgs file.
