same problem I have! I have jammed/broken my pinkies at least 6 times, they don't even bend correctly. Easy is well to easy, but medium, by adding the blue key... UGH. Frustrating.


But the game is awsomely addicting. SO hard to stop

No need for that. It's not like we are in here comparing the game to the real thing.

I play all of it on hard. I can get about 1/2 way through the Dragonforce song before I require assistance from an advanced robot.

I find it harder to play on the hardest level than a real guitar. Then again I've been playing guitar for twenty years and Guitar Hero for two. I love the violin. :D

Not that it compares to the real thing, but people accuse the songs for Guitar Hero of being "over-charted" as in way too many notes for the song. I will admit some of the DLC like Soothsayer is pretty insane. Took me a while to get that one.

You are playing the keyboards of the song for most of it. Like the intro is almost completely keyboards. ITS BS!!

Never have enjoyed this game, others have come before w/ a similar gameplay mechanic and been just as fun, that is not very, unless you got some friends to play w/ too. Then it's a fun time. It's been quite the phenomenon though, I guess most of America wants to be a guitar hero, and will gladly shell out ridiculous amounts of money to pretend to be such. I may give it another shot when the upcoming Beatles version Comes Together......

I do love this game but it's only fun against friends etc, but it's kinda weak that they released GH3 for PC while simultaneously praising GH4 with drums etc for consoles..
