Alternative Guitar Hero 3 Expert FC List

[-Magnum-]

I wrote this today. I realize that it isn't really necessary but I'm going to post it here anyway just to see waht people think of it. This is also the only FC list to contain the Muse track pack and the Virtuoso track pack.

For those who don't know, this is a list of the songs in Guitar Hero III, ranked from easiest to hardest in terms of FC (full combo) difficulty. If you want to know what FC to go for next, then this guide should be helpful.

Update #4: Switched Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya and We Three Kings
Update #3: Added the DragonForce track pack
Update #2: Added Take This Life
Update: Added Bulls On Parade And Mississippi Queen

Here it is, the alternative Guitar Hero 3 Expert FC List.

I would put Stockholm Syndrome WAY further up on the list, like, maybe in the top 10. Granted I've only seen a video of it, but I'm pretty sure I could FC it sightread.

65. Cult Of Personality – Fast solos
66. Knights Of Cydonia – Fast notes, awkward riffs throughout
67. The Number Of The Beast – Solo, riff, chord changes may cause a problem

That should read as...

65. Knights Of Cydonia – Fast notes, awkward riffs throughout
66. The Number Of The Beast – Solo, riff, chord changes may cause a problem
67. Cult Of Personality – Fast solos

That. Knights is easier than Cult of personality in my opinion just because the strums are constant. Cop gets harder and is easy to overfret or choke.
#otB should be 66 because the solo is harder than Cydonia's but not as bad as Cop. And the number just fits it well.

Edit: I also think Black Magic women should be moved up. I'd have that FC if I wasn't so god damn inconsistent. I choke too much and yet I almost always hit that orange part. It's all about getting the timing down and if you can do it once you've pretty much got it.

Id put surfing with the alien higher the soothsayer. Oh and Cult of Personality after Knights of Cydonia.

Your intentions are noble and such, etc., but it's nothing new. The above link may not contain as much DLC for the GH3X FC breakdown as compared to the one you wrote, but it has been heavily examined by many and perfected (people having debated over placements, coming to agreements, etc.).

Stockholm Syndrome is definitely not harder to FC than Impulse. Definitely put that in like, the top 30. Probably right before The Metal.

Besides that, there is a lot of stuff to disagree with. Then again, no FC list has ever been perfect before since everybody is different in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Still, do you honestly think that (F)lannigan's Ball is harder to FC than Famous for Nothing? FFN has a lot of really hard strumming parts that are difficult to follow for most people, and it can easily make someone trying to FC it choke. (F)lannigan's Ball is just a bunch of chords at the same rhythm with one "somewhat" hard part.

Also, Cliffs of Dover should be in the top 50. The only difficult part is Intro Solo B. Once you're able to get that section consistent, the song is cake. (Solo D isn't a problem if you've mastered Intro B)
