Thanks to Losviken, I've got GH3PC up and running, and I've picked up a small handful of setlists to go with it. Just today I finally got my 360 LP hooked up to the PC and it works great, so I might do some fun streams with playing the customs in the near future. If for whatever reason you have a setlist you think I should add, I'm up for doing so, since I haven't added much myself at the moment.

Latest: Train Kept a Rollin'

Second try after practicing. Got a decent method for Caboose and just needed to learn the other solos. Baggage Car Solo 2 I was getting half the time, the times I was missing was a -1 or -2 near the beginning of the mayhem part in practice. My first run was -6 in that part though, missed in like 3 different spots. Still, no Caboose chokes for me; GH:A FGFC!

EDIT July 10: Booted up GH3, did some practice with new methods for stuff like Solo Fill II and Solo 1A, then did a no-reset run. 856k, -25 overall: -1 in each of Intro Solo A, Pre Chorus 1, and Verse 2, then ~95% in each of Solo 1A, C, and D, then 88% on Solo to the End (missed after the 7th or 8th set of triplets). I was trying to play quietly with parents around (normally I play loudly and deliberately to make sure I get the rhythm of some sections down). Clearly I still need to practice the solo some more, but after that, a good grind session or two might be able to do it.
EDIT July 08: After a couple hours today, I've modified my approach to several different sections and now feel that my only concerns (past Chorus 2A) are the grace notes starting Solo 1A, getting more comfortable with 1D/Keep Soloing, and not screwing up Solo Fill II after I fix my muscle memory for a new method (right now I'm royally screwing up the triplets trying to swap from my old method to my new one; once I feel good with it Solo Fill II should be reasonably consistent). I'll keep pounding out practice over the next while and see how much further I can get.
EDIT July 07: Woke up, booted up a stream, and did my first run of the day. Comedy run all around but thought it was nice to get a large-ish note streak.

After watching Bradmasta FC Revolution Deathsquad pretty much on demand I figured I should step up my game and get a Dragonforce FC, and I thought Operation Ground and Pound was the closest for me. Turns out it is, managed a -19 run that was almost entirely in Solo 1D (missed in 4 other places that were just strumming in verses/choruses; hit the other stuff like Solo Fill II and Solo to the End pretty easily).

I think I just need to keep playing the song to get used to the strum speed of stuff like the pre-choruses so I can actually make it to the solo at least like 90% of the time, then get to a comfortable level with the solo. I've been hitting Solo Fill II and Solo to the End like 85% of the time in random runs I do, so simply being in the zone should let me pull an FC even if it's half-fluke.

When I feel I'm getting close or consistent enough, I'll start streaming the runs.

_____________________________________________________________

I finally got around to picking up GHL (PS3 version) a couple days ago, and got to try out all the new stuff. After some basic calibration, tutorial, etc. I found out one very obvious problem: I suck - a lot.

The new button system is taking some time to get used to; I've managed to 5-star a few songs from playing GHTV to practice, but it's still hard to read the charts too. I'm used to playing Rocksmith where a separate line actually had some height offset in 3D space, but all the notes being on one plane (if that makes sense) makes it rather difficult to sightread songs, and read in general. I haven't found a practice mode which is very demoralizing when I think of practicing solos, so it'll definitely take a while to get anywhere near a level I am with the classic 5 button layout.

My guitar seems to have some issues registering every downstrum input as well, so hopefully that works itself out too. I only just more or less fixed my calibration with the HDTV I'm on (the inherit lag on it is actually not bad, it's rather close to a CRT but obviously not exactly like one). If the guitar fixes itself, I can properly play and learn. Also, my internet is less than third world because of hardware issues on my ISP's end from their investigating, so I get kicked out of GHTV every second song or less on a regular day.

I'll keep playing for a while longer to see what I can manage on GHTV; hopefully I can FC the main setlist after a little while since I hear that they're all generally much easier than the songs you'd find on GHTV.

_____________________________________________________________

I finally got my PS2 up and running, and played a few things between GH80s and GH1. I started on a few songs for GH80s, but I haven't tried for anything in GH1 yet. I'll keep trying random songs to see what I'm close on, if I feel up to it.

_____________________________________________________________

I haven't had much lately to update with, but I've done a little bit every now and again to have some updates right now.

I had a PB run of Satch Boogie (363k) with an 84% Solo D and 98% Solo F. I started messing up late in F because my hand was slipping and it was starting to feel awkward with fretting (I anchor G with my tapping hand and just fret the three higher notes). Unless I can get Solo D, this will never get FCed.

Also, I had another handful of random choke runs of Hot For Teacher. FC can't be too long away if I grind it out for a good chunk of time.

Mr. Crowley is close to falling as well. A random run I had FCed everything but Blizzard of Thoth 6 I think (really stupid miss, just a misfret), as well as not looking at the screen for a note in Verse 1, lol. Also not far off if I decide to sit down and grind.

Lastly, I did some work on Overkill and started to get some methods fleshed out, but I'm not too practiced with it yet.

I haven't been playing a whole lot lately, but this is the majority of what I've been working on when I decide to play every now and again.

_____________________________________________________________

I popped in GH3 to try out some DLC and the remaining two setlist songs, and I'm actually better at One's FSA than I thought. I'm going to keep practicing One, and I'm also going to try and rework my techniques for Through The Fire And Flames. If I roadblock after a while, I'll switch back to GH:M or GH5 and it'll seem fresh, so grinding FCs won't be a problem.

_____________________________________________________________

FCed The Spirit Of Radio (Live) first try today just casually playing for FC #453 in the series. This was #21 in GH5. Made possible by moving my Xbox to the HDTV in the living room to try some songs out

I also 100% overstrummed Do You Feel Like We Do? (Live). I totally forgot about Outro - Riffing and strummed through the whole thing and lost combo because of it. Then I just overstrummed in the final chords of the Ending. FC when I have the patience to grind a 14 minute song.

_____________________________________________________________

Today was good; 29 new FCs on WoR (up to 77) and I started GH5 and have 4 FCs on that now, the latest addition being Demon(s). I learned the solo, was super inconsistent at it, and just did some runs anyway because the song is awesome. A short time later, I managed to actually FC it, so that's nice

More silent updates on GH5 this week most likely. Also, GH:M should be here in a few days, so who knows if I'll switch to it randomly.

_____________________________________________________________

I just ordered Metallica (by accident I should say; I was continuing through checkout to see what a final price would be and I apparently accidentally reserved it and had to pay like 40 bucks for it because shipping/import charges and conversion to Canadian was done AFTER I reserved it, fucks sake) and Guitar Hero 5 and Warriors of Rock are already shipped. Also, my friend whom I lent my PS2 to with both Guitar Hero 1 and 80s is moving to my city for the new school year this fall, so I should get that from him around that time. That finishes up all the games I had left to get. Until the fall, I'll have a lot of FCs to try and get before having the other two games to work on.

In the meantime, I made progress on Aerosmith and have only 1 song left for it (UPDATE: Train Kept a Rollin' fell in two tries! The FGFC took no time at all, haha). After I finish that up I think I'll try and fix up World Tour a bit, then at least one of the games should have arrived by then and I can start racking up FCs into the 500s before I have access to GH1 and GH:80s.

_____________________________________________________________

EDIT: Got Psychobilly Freakout in a few tries. Play With Me next!

After grabbing three new FCs in Van Halen (Painkiller, The End of Heartache, Sick, Sick, Sick; those finish up the guest acts in the game) I played some Smash Hits and after failing Raining Blood for several attempts, I tried Free Bird and found out it was much easier than I remembered. After 4 attempts of missing in stupid spots (the first try being the end of Solo U, ouch) I got that for FC #44. Then I went back to Raining Blood and 40 minutes later I got that too for #45. Psychobilly Freakout is next, then some grinding for Play With Me and I'm done with this game for a while.

Warriors of Rock is still on the way. Hopefully it'll be here next week. (EDIT: Ordered GH5 now. Also on the way.)

_____________________________________________________________

I found Warriors of Rock for a decent price and ordered it, so that will arrive at some point. With that game incoming (a track list of 93 songs) I'm going to make an intermediate goal for 400/660 FCs. I have like 60 songs remaining give or take a few with the last three games I ordered, so 400 should be pretty simple, and this way I don't feel obligated to max out a game just yet for FC count (whether it be GH:A FGFC or something like GH:SH 47/48; you get the point). After reaching 400, I think I'll be close enough on the other games to finish them by doing what I just said, then I'll see where I want to go from there (either going for the really difficult FCs on the games I already own to actually attempt finishing the FGFCs or just pick up GH:M, or GH5, etc.). In the meantime, I'll keep picking up FCs here and there if I have the motivation to grind.

Speaking of getting more FCs, I got my 300th FC today; Electric Eye on GH:SH. Thought I'd mention it just because it breaks a multiple of a hundred, which is pretty cool.

_____________________________________________________________

Played a little Van Halen today grabbing 6 FCs, the last one of the streak being Little Guitars. Still have 4 songs I haven't even played yet, then I can start going back and fixing some non-FCs.

So, I took a break from GH and ended up playing a TON of Dark Souls II (bought it less than a couple weeks ago and I already have over 100 hours logged). I'm not really sure what I want to do in that game right now, so I'm going to start grabbing FCs again, starting with Van Halen. I'll most likely stick to Van Halen as well, and switch off to another later.

Nice job Lortwogo. It's good that you're not playing GH3 since your guitar is broken.

Wait ... is it broken?

We gots to play more Co-Op if it's fixed
