GH Learning Curve..?

[Fly1ngV]

i've over doubled my score on cowboys from the first time i passed it. my first time i beat it i was at about 91k or so, now i'm at 190k. i still don't have the main riff right, but once i get it, the five will be easy.

Personally I picked up this game quickly. I've always been into and I have an ear for music. Having an ear for music is one thing that helped me progress because it allowes you to 1.Keep better rythem in the song meaning you will hit more notes and 2. When you see a big strand of notes comming up you have the pattern already playing out in your head so you know what to expect.

I started playing this game in HARD mode because I found it to be way to easy on Easy and Medium.

SUGGESTIONS: I would reccomend for those starting out to learn the first 4 buttons first. I call it "First Position" The G R Y and B. Don't switch hand positions and finger positions use all 4!!!!!!! of yours fingers!! including the pinky which is difficult for some. If you play a song that uses just the the first four fret buttons the G R Y and B THERE IS NO NEED TO MOVE YOUR HAND AT ALL. The hardest chord for begginners is that R B. Practice using your MIDDLE for RED and PINKY for BLUE. It may seem awkward but if you don't learn the hell out of the fingering for that chord, latr songs will have you DYING!!! So for those of you starting out learn that first.

Once you have the first 4 fret buttons down and feel content with the fingerings, introduce the ORANGE fret.Which I call "Second Position" The RYBO. At first it may be intimidating but if you practice it will come naturally. Practice switching hand positions when introducing the ORANGE fret. Go from the G R Y B....To R Y B O...if you have First Position down in then sliding your four fingers up to Second postion should be a breaze. I admit learning Second position is difficult at first and will take time. Practice keeping your hand in Second position which is R Y B O and take it slow. You will have to relearn the R Y and B frets because it wont be comfortable to you any longer.

Anyways I gotta go play poker. Hopefully what I wrote made sense haha.. Latr guys good luck.

Learning curve for me was breezing through each difficulty's songs, but from Medium on up I always got jammed on the trio of Ace of Spades, No One Knows and Crossroads, and then after that Godzilla/Texas Flood/Frankenstein are a breeze leading up to CFH/BATM which I work on for a short time.

As far as ***** the songs go, on Medium the last song I 5* was Decontrol, and I'm still working on the Hard songs. Fairly sure that Texas Flood is going to be the last one that I get 5* due to the consistent combo breaking that occurs in that very note-light song. I'm even getting better at the Breaking Wheel, a song I usually do very, very poorly at.

I got the game in February. I beat my first hard song in march, and beat BatM expert in middle April. As of today I have 5 songs left to 5-star on expert.

The first couple times I played were with some friends at one of their places (I didn't get the game myself until about 4-5 weeks ago). After about... the first times playing multiplayer on Medium (2 or 3 songs) I moved up to hard, and ended up beng able to pass and 4* Crossroads on Expert the 5th time I sat down to play the game somewhere else.

Texas Flood took me a couple of days to 5* (Don't hurt me =X), but I still get creamed by BatM, CfH, and TBW. They're the only ones left for me to 5* on Expert, sadly.

So I'd say my learning curve to being able to successfully play and complete Expert songs formiddably was... 10-15 songs in Career/Quick Play mode?
