Most, if not all songs in GH games are made artificially more difficult. It's part of the reason why there was a decent amount of players who noticed and jumped ship to RockBand, because they used far more accurate note tracks for those games.
@@vahlok1426 wym raining blood has the same intro as rockband 😂 unless you mean the last solo (it's the best part) but if that's the reason people jumped to rockband idk what to say.
@@chris9242 Playing guitar hero and an actual guitar aren't even comparable, they are two completely different things. Even Herman Li himself can't play ttfaf on GH at all
Quick tip regarding the Lou fight on Expert: After your first powerup, Lou gets a huge stream of green notes. If you pulled Whammy from your first powerup, and use it here, you will knock him out with only one powerup, ending the song long before it gets really hard. You can also do this with Broken String if you hit his green, which is a 1 in 5 chance. If you really are struggling, restart the fight until you both get Whammy and he doesn't get something that makes it borderline impossible for you to get whammy, and you can basically skip the fight.
I remember shitting bricks when I got the “meet your maker” achievement lol “beat one of the creators of GH3 at their own game online” Good times, simple times 💜
Oh I hate those 'beat the developers' achievements when put in games, because you know at some point it will be impossible to get those achievs when the hype for the game dissipates.
Man I loved the guitar battles in the game, that's just one thing games like clone hero couldn't ever beat. I feel like if they just released a modern day guitar hero for the PC, added in all the nostalgia bait characters, released some instruments and let modders do the work that copyright wouldn't let them do then that would be all it'd take to make an amazing timeless classic.
I dream of a proper GH reboot but i'm not sure it's ever going to happen :( Haven't given clone hero a go before, slowly working through the series achievements on xbox only
@@JForJackPlaysIf they had guitar battles on Clone Hero it would be the goat. Deffo worth a play since it's technically the best version of any guitar hero game
That's a matter of personal preference, I'm glad Clone Hero exists, because without it GHWTDE would not have happened, but in many ways it's geared toward the kind of people doing insane FCs of meme charts who prefer the looser timing window reminiscent of GH3 and don't mind the barebones presentation compared to the GH/RB series. As far as just having a huge collection from each GH/RB game and playing casually on Expert (not usually looking for FCs just maybe five-starring everything) I still think GHWTDE is preferable, but more for entertainment reasons than technical ones. @@VoltiXHD2
If they remade guitar hero, it’s have a battle pass (somehow), god knows how many cosmetics, some probably for sale with real money, and their new guitars/instruments would be SUCH ass.
I feel like Vicarious Visions would have done an incredible Guitar hero remake, considering they worked on the DS games, and the Wii ports, which often had higher ratings than the 360/PS3 versions if I remember correctly. Sadly, Activision merged VV with Blizzard and its probably one of the worst moves in gaming history imo
This is probably one of my all time favourite games. Funnily enough I enjoyed playing with the controller, found it a lot easier than the guitar & can remember getting the achievement legit.
I was the same, one metallica took the longest to beat, but then i actually beat the boss first time after. Ive no idea why one was so difficult for me Could play expert pretty well most songs, never got past holiday in cambodia though story mode
Good on you, Jack. I've gotten into your channel recently, and you've showed me some games (notably the Guitar Hero franchise), that I've avoided over the years. I'm happy you got this, I can respect the dedication (and in some cases the "what the hell am I doing with myself right now") for this. I've always loved achievements, and as I grow older my urge to collect the lil things gets stronger. Stay strong man, keep on keeping on, and myself and a ton of other folks will gladly follow you along for the ride, no matter how long it may be.
Ah those are some very kind words! Thank you, means a lot. I have many more planned and will keep grinding away. and I'm 100% with you on the urge to collect
Just found your videos and it's so nice to see these older Xbox games covered, literally bringing back so many childhood memories. Such well made and relaxing content- keep it up dude, you'll easy hit six figure subscribers in no time.
I have a glassed entertainment system behind me which I could use to play left-handedly lol. But I have done that back in the day. Either that or I would lay on my back in my bed and play it with my head upside down, looking at the screen and watch as the notes "scroll up" lol
I remember playing through this game on the Wii 15 years ago, then when I got an Xbox 360 and got into achievement hunting, I got stressed out just looking at this achievement list. Thanks for the nostalgia trip! You are seriously impressive at this game, teenager me is in awe.
Iv been rinsing your content since I found your channel recently. Really enjoy your videos man. You've hit a perfect little niche in my brain. Commentary, challenge and edits are great.
I've revisted GH3 this year and gotten the gold 20 songs and 5 star all songs on expert. I wish I had bought the music packs and participated in the multiplayer when it was active in 2012. The only multiplayer experience was through GH5 and WOR in 2009-2010 on the Wii. Never had the privilege to play Guitar Hero multiplayer on 360. This was a great video, Jack. Looking forward to watching the co-op portion of this journey.
It was a good time - but it was frustrating on GH3 Online that you could just win by playing any song on easy. You could play separate difficulties of your choice and lose to worse players
Fantastic video! You caught me off guard a few times by knowing some of the old tricks. When you were doing left flip, I was thinking "Just use a mirror", seconds later out comes the mirror lol. Also, glad you knew about All Nightmare Long. Didn't get the 750k until that track pack came out too lol. Can't wait to see the next part. Also, makes me want to go back and finish cleaning up achievements for GH3.
Cannot wait until the co-op video! Loved this so much! I have so many great memories playing this game back in the day, and still play today through Clone Hero!
What an awesome video, congrats Jack! I was contemplating going back and making an achievement video for a GH game too, I used to adore these games back in the day. I 5 starred all of GH3 expert back in 2010 but sadly never found anyone relatively close to Devon, England to 5 star expert co-op so this sits incomplete on my tag to this day, I'll be super jealous once you mop it up!
@@EffigyXBL I’m in north Devon, Tavistock actually. I can easily do expert but have been longing to do the co-op expert achievements for over 10 years! If you wanna get this done we can definitely arrange something if you want?
Been playing guitar for 2 years and can play everlong in my sleep. Went to a friends house and they were playing guitar hero. I loaded up everlong thinking “No way I’m not gonna play on expert, I play the song on a real guitar I can definitely easily play it on a cheap plastic toy.” …… I failed in 10 seconds
Never underestimate how the game works. Lower difficulties are necessary to warm up and play on a lot before you jump to the higher difficulties right away. Expert is never like playing real guitar on Guitar Hero/Rock Band games. You can’t just expect to be better at Expert because you just “played the song on real guitar before”. The game wants you to practice on the lower difficulties, even every real musician needs to know that once they try it out.
Another great video! GH3 is definitely one of the hardest games to get 1000G on. I played the game religiously back when it came out and only got to about the 800 mark (helped by a few glitches to unlock the lefty and controller achievements). I was good but a friend of mine was a real GH wizard and we even had some co-op high scores in the top 10 of the global rankings for a few songs - Me playing bass, of course!
@@JForJackPlays Was missing a lot of the ranked online and the 5-starring every song on co-op achievements. You could only get the co-op one through local play and this was an online friend who I didn't know IRL.
Dude this is just awesome to see! As a Clone hero player i really wanna point out how difficult playing GH3 on console is compared to playing Clone Hero and you would definitely "look" better and feel like you ARE better if you tested your skills out in that game :) Not being capped on framerate along with all the other QoL changes truly makes for a more spammy experience :b With that said, keep it up champ. Easy like+sub
Really good video. Brings me back to the days when TTFAF was the pinnacle of achievement, nowadays we have FCs on grade 20 songs which is something I'm not even close to doing.
oh shit, excited to see a new vid from you! the guitar was so hard for me to play for some reason, so i played with the regular controller instead and ended up loving it lmfao.
Casual face reveal lmao. Your channel is sick mate. These vids make me very nostalgic the 360 achievement hunter days. I started with your World At War vid and then watched all the others. Keep it up, this is quality content
This is AMAZING! I've been playing GH3 since it first came out, but I never got to use the actual guitar. I always played with the console controller. Never beat TTFAF on Expert, congrats.
You are absolutely right about Raining Blood keeping people from completing expert mode.. that's exactly what happened to me! I beat every other song. It was so frustrating.. no matter what I did I couldn't get through the "blood" section. Still an amazing game. I really liked the song "My Name is Jonas" and I saw you got 100% on it.. it is hard to keep the hammer on timing consistent but I practiced a lot back in the day and missed 100% by ONE note. This video is making me want to pick up my (plastic) guitar again..
Man, it really sucks that RUclips doesn't let you play the music. I really wish I could still play this. I still have aps3 and guitar and the games, all I'm missing is the friggin dongle, this video really made me wanna pick it back up
I really need to earn that 750k points achievement at some point as well. Super grats on this achievement; certainly a dedicated skill is required to complete these achievements and you certainly have that.
Sends me back to when I was forced to learn how to play on Console Controller because the guitar was for my brother lmao. Ended up getting good enough to even 5 start TTFATF by the end of many years of practice. I still play on it from time to time just for fun.
Man this makes me wish PS2 had achievement because back then, I was good. I was too good. I was "didn't have a life and my friends mocked me" good. Though, I was a finger slider, not a hammer/tapper. That phrase "concentration face" sent me into an state of acute awareness that I was being stared at again despite it beng literally half my life ago 🤣 I personally never struggled with Knights of Cydonia, but that's unsurprising as I can actually play it on guitar. Solid video man, enjoyed it thoroughly!
I always felt a little bad for doing all the bugs to get a lot of the achievements when I was younger lol. I think now I'm only missing the 750k and co-op score/streak achievements. My friends and I could play expert and 5 star everything but not good enough for the 2000 streak. I had about 630k on TTFAF but haven't tried it since getting better with clone hero as an adult. Great vid subscribed :D
When I was a kid, I had GH3 for PS2, but I never had the money to buy a guitar. In my country they were really really expensive at the time. But yeah, I was one of those who managed to get through Expert on controller only. Admittedly it was extremely hard. Some songs (specially the ones with tapping and fast strumming, as you said) are awful. The battles took me hours. To complete took me weeks. I never managed to get 100% on any song on expert. Fond memories of the game, not very fond memories of barely scraping by most songs with the meter on orange/red. Awesome video, hope to see more!
This video was fire (also I just bought that same guitar to play this game and wasn’t quite sure if it would work bc it wasn’t specifically for gh3 but this helped)
Wow you are such an underrated channel lol, your vids are super entertaining. I don't know if you take video requests but have you ever dove into the world of motocross games? There is one game, MX vs ATV Untamed, that has a really hard 200G achievement, and also a few online ones. If you think you could make it into an interesting video I'd be super intrigued, only around 200 people have completed it.
This video was great brought back a lot of memories for me. I’m one of the ones that finished this game 1000G and it took soooooo much time!! When I was first learning the game I remember expert being really rough. If I attempted this again I think the only song that would give me issues would be raining blood! My lord that was so rough to five star!
My brother and I grew up playing this game with the controller. Even got to expert, and it's literally impossible XD The way you have to hold your hand to pull off some of those button combos is CRAZY
To answer your question about playing expert on the standard controller. You need to change your grip to hold the controller in your left hand and twitch hit the buttons with your right. It's not clean by any means but it works with some practice.
This was one set of achievements I got and I never, ever, ever, EVER want to try to complete again, so I definitely salute you. Meanwhile, I've been sitting with one achievement left in GH: Metallica since that game came out, and that really gets on my nerves. One of these days, I'm gonna finish it.
This will sound quite odd but I've been playing Guitar Hero on PC with a keyboard pretty much exclusively (I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't get into playing it properly with a guitar controller). However, a friend of mine learned to play the game with a proper guitar controller so we played co-op quite a lot, even managed to 100% Mississippi Queen once. Thank you for this trip down memory lane, Guitar Hero 3 was my first game in the series.
I was 13/14 when this came out, and I played this non-stop. I could clear any song on expert, and was so proud to have scored 86% on Through the Fire and Flames. All that being said, I COULD NOT beat the final boss battle. That was just too much, and I have lots of respect to anyone who can beat him on expert
Use the first power-up as the Whammy on Lou’s set of alt-strumming green notes and you can end the battle immediately to win without struggling. Trust me, try that and you’ll beat the Expert difficulty.
14:08 I actually did manage to beat Expert with a standard controller, but it was NOT easy. Like you said the fast strumming parts are like a wall, so timing the star power and just mashing like hell for songs like Knights and Cambodia are a must.
I, for some reason, learnt guitar hero on lefty flip. And a few years back, before I could play clone hero properly, I downloaded something called youtube flipper that let you mirror the videos and just loaded up youtube playthroughs of guitar hero songs and played to them. Good times.
I had this pop up recently, and I was thinking of firing it up again on my PS3! Used to play it so much as a kid on my PS2, sold the games, and got the PS3 version around 2012 and got some of the downloadable content
@@JForJackPlays I mainly play Holiday in Cambodia, Cities on Flames, Black Magic Woman, Sabotage, Bulls on Parade and Cult of Personality and the last time I was there in May I was still at or near the top of most songs on most machines. So if you see Chief on the list then that's me xD
This video just popped up and now im gonna break out the old guitar hero. I loved this game as much as anything. Havent played in 2 years but i need it.
Really great video. I had no idea GH3 had this many (and this hard!) achievements. You did so many and there's still so many left! Jesus. I barely finished a playthrough of GH WoR and had way more achievements than on GH3. One small note: the section you mention at 7:44 is actually named Mosh. Flood! is the solo in the outro. Also, this would be cheating of course, but if you did the cheats for unlocking all songs and unlocking everything and then loaded up a carreer, you'd also get the achievements for buying all the songs and all the characters etc. Apparently the game only checks if things are unlocked and not how you unlocked them. Source: did that 😬
Takes me back. I didn’t have any of the DLC, other than the free ones, so I could only grind Through the Fire and Flames for the 750k achievement. I have no idea how many times I played the song or even for how long but I hit the 740s about 5 or 6 times before I finally reached the mark. I ended up with a score of 812k. Funny how it goes sometimes. I never came close to that score again.
I haven't done it yet but getting all achievements is one of my goals for guitar hero at the moment. If you do want to play more, admittedly easier guitar hero, there's a free PC clone with thousands of custom songs that are very easy to download and play
Impressive. Now, get all the achievements for Rocksmith 2014. Took me a couple years to get the Platinum trophy on PS4. I'm trying for all the achievements on the PC version at the moment. It's challenging, but probably not as hard as the ones from GH3. Those are just sadistic.
14:08 I actually have beaten the career on expert on controller. There's a trick you can do for fast strumming where you can hold a higher fret and press lower frets and they count as an input on the higher fret. So, for example, you can hold yellow and quickly press green and red to strum a lot faster. I've also just naturally gotten really fast at greens and use 2 fingers to quickly press red whenever possible.
didnt have dlc songs so had to do some tricky songs for the 20 golds stars one. i was so elated when i tried "The Metal" to see if it was even plausible and FC'd it on my first try. never even hoped to five star all songs (well raining blood mainly) on expert tho hehe
I started playing guitar hero like a few months ago because of some nostalgia of watching the bigger kids at our local kids hangout spot center thing (dunno how to explain it) where they absolutely shredded. they had an xbox 360 there. But man I can't compete with the people who havw been playing these games since the 2000s

you deserve it!
@@JForJackPlaysAppreciate it man, and glad to see your channel growing too!
Love this wholesome shit yeehaw
hi snam its maycray1381
In total fairness the raining blood solo at the end, like most Kerry King solos, is absolutely bonkers
you have a very appropriate name!
The whole song is bonkers....
As the legend Kmac put it, "every Kerry King solo sounds like dissonant hell"
As a lefty this was perhaps one of a handful of moments in my life where things just worked out 😂
Haha I'm actually a lefty myself but do a lot of things right handed!
Ha! Same here, good times!
Quick tip regarding the Lou fight on Expert:
After your first powerup, Lou gets a huge stream of green notes. If you pulled Whammy from your first powerup, and use it here, you will knock him out with only one powerup, ending the song long before it gets really hard.

If you really are struggling, restart the fight until you both get Whammy and he doesn't get something that makes it borderline impossible for you to get whammy, and you can basically skip the fight.
Why you would skip playing a metal cover of TDWDG is beyond me. Just enjoy the process.
@@Phantom-kc9ly The Devil will give you a hard time beating the game if you don’t do it right away. What’s your point about it?

As a Clone hero player i really wanna point out how difficult playing GH3 on console is compared to playing Clone Hero and you would definitely "look" better and feel like you ARE better if you tested your skills out in that game :) Not being capped on framerate along with all the other QoL changes truly makes for a more spammy experience :b
With that said, keep it up champ. Easy like+sub
awesome video man, i hope to come back to this game someday once i find a guitar that isn’t broken
Really good video. Brings me back to the days when TTFAF was the pinnacle of achievement, nowadays we have FCs on grade 20 songs which is something I'm not even close to doing.
FC of TTFAF used to be considered a holy grail, then summer 2008 happened and the Dragonforce pack dropped. How far we've come.
This is literally the “number go up” channel with the cross over of RS and achievements. Subbed
oh shit, excited to see a new vid from you! the guitar was so hard for me to play for some reason, so i played with the regular controller instead and ended up loving it lmfao.
thank you!
haha yeah a few people have said that,
I was guitar all the way though!
such a good game
Im an avid guitar hero player and this is probably one of if not the most entertaining guitar hero video I've seen in a long time. Great stuff man
Great content, glad the algorithm promoted your videos! Well worth a subscribe
thank you very much, appreciate it
This is the first video of urs I'm watching and I'm hooked. You make rly good content and I hope u do the co-op trophies
Thank you, that means a lot!
Yes I definitely will, I'm currently working on recording a few games. The rest of GH3 included!
Casual face reveal lmao.
Your channel is sick mate. These vids make me very nostalgic the 360 achievement hunter days. I started with your World At War vid and then watched all the others. Keep it up, this is quality content
Appreciate the kind words very much!
Thank you, glad you like them.
I have lots more planned and a few in progress already!
My good man the algorithm has chosen you
it would appear so!
This is AMAZING! I've been playing GH3 since it first came out, but I never got to use the actual guitar. I always played with the console controller.
Never beat TTFAF on Expert, congrats.
You are absolutely right about Raining Blood keeping people from completing expert mode.. that's exactly what happened to me! I beat every other song. It was so frustrating.. no matter what I did I couldn't get through the "blood" section. Still an amazing game. I really liked the song "My Name is Jonas" and I saw you got 100% on it.. it is hard to keep the hammer on timing consistent but I practiced a lot back in the day and missed 100% by ONE note. This video is making me want to pick up my (plastic) guitar again..
This is awesome! I've been a fan of Guitar Hero for years and I'd never he able to do what you did. I'd love to see co-op, please!
thanks a lot! glad you enjoyed it.
Working on it at the moment but it's a big grind!
That was awesome, cant wait to see the coop vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep it's going to take a while but will be starting it very soon for sure
Man, it really sucks that RUclips doesn't let you play the music.
I really wish I could still play this. I still have aps3 and guitar and the games, all I'm missing is the friggin dongle, this video really made me wanna pick it back up
Seeing how many buttons you gotta hit on some of these really makes it impressive, good video btw.
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it
I really need to earn that 750k points achievement at some point as well.
Super grats on this achievement; certainly a dedicated skill is required to complete these achievements and you certainly have that.
Sends me back to when I was forced to learn how to play on Console Controller because the guitar was for my brother lmao.
Ended up getting good enough to even 5 start TTFATF by the end of many years of practice. I still play on it from time to time just for fun.
This is friggin awesome, a Rock Band completion would be really cool
Another great vid! Careful of those blisters!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man this makes me wish PS2 had achievement because back then, I was good. I was too good. I was "didn't have a life and my friends mocked me" good. Though, I was a finger slider, not a hammer/tapper.
That phrase "concentration face" sent me into an state of acute awareness that I was being stared at again despite it beng literally half my life ago 🤣
I personally never struggled with Knights of Cydonia, but that's unsurprising as I can actually play it on guitar.
Solid video man, enjoyed it thoroughly!
I always felt a little bad for doing all the bugs to get a lot of the achievements when I was younger lol. I think now I'm only missing the 750k and co-op score/streak achievements. My friends and I could play expert and 5 star everything but not good enough for the 2000 streak. I had about 630k on TTFAF but haven't tried it since getting better with clone hero as an adult. Great vid subscribed :D
When I was a kid, I had GH3 for PS2, but I never had the money to buy a guitar. In my country they were really really expensive at the time.
But yeah, I was one of those who managed to get through Expert on controller only. Admittedly it was extremely hard.
Some songs (specially the ones with tapping and fast strumming, as you said) are awful.
The battles took me hours.
To complete took me weeks.
I never managed to get 100% on any song on expert.
Fond memories of the game, not very fond memories of barely scraping by most songs with the meter on orange/red.
Awesome video, hope to see more!
This video was fire (also I just bought that same guitar to play this game and wasn’t quite sure if it would work bc it wasn’t specifically for gh3 but this helped)
Ah thank you very much! and yeah it works completely fine. Sadly I lost my GH3 guitar many years ago :(
Wow you are such an underrated channel lol, your vids are super entertaining. I don't know if you take video requests but have you ever dove into the world of motocross games? There is one game, MX vs ATV Untamed, that has a really hard 200G achievement, and also a few online ones. If you think you could make it into an interesting video I'd be super intrigued, only around 200 people have completed it.
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot!
I haven't no, but I can check them out! Got quite the list of games forming haha
Great to hear! Excited for those games 👀
This video was great brought back a lot of memories for me. I’m one of the ones that finished this game 1000G and it took soooooo much time!! When I was first learning the game I remember expert being really rough. If I attempted this again I think the only song that would give me issues would be raining blood! My lord that was so rough to five star!
My brother and I grew up playing this game with the controller. Even got to expert, and it's literally impossible XD The way you have to hold your hand to pull off some of those button combos is CRAZY
This was a very nostalgic video to me. Don't know how or why I got recommended this but I'm not complaining :)
glad to hear it!
To answer your question about playing expert on the standard controller. You need to change your grip to hold the controller in your left hand and twitch hit the buttons with your right. It's not clean by any means but it works with some practice.
Man I've not played Guitar Hero since World Tour. Good times. Great video!
I'd recommend downloading it on PC and giving it a go
World Tour is one I didn't play tooo much. Think i'm going to have to check it out again soon..
and thank you very much! glad you liked it
I also would love to see you play through the co-op career as well!
I got you!
Crazy video, can’t wait for part 2
Thank you!
Yes, not sure when it will be done but I'll do my best!
This was one set of achievements I got and I never, ever, ever, EVER want to try to complete again, so I definitely salute you. Meanwhile, I've been sitting with one achievement left in GH: Metallica since that game came out, and that really gets on my nerves. One of these days, I'm gonna finish it.
This will sound quite odd but I've been playing Guitar Hero on PC with a keyboard pretty much exclusively (I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't get into playing it properly with a guitar controller). However, a friend of mine learned to play the game with a proper guitar controller so we played co-op quite a lot, even managed to 100% Mississippi Queen once. Thank you for this trip down memory lane, Guitar Hero 3 was my first game in the series.
I was 13/14 when this came out, and I played this non-stop. I could clear any song on expert, and was so proud to have scored 86% on Through the Fire and Flames.
All that being said, I COULD NOT beat the final boss battle. That was just too much, and I have lots of respect to anyone who can beat him on expert
I can beat him, but it took a lot of practice, and when we beat it me and my best friend beat it the same night, we still play, but on clone hero now
Took me fucking weeks.
Use the first power-up as the Whammy on Lou’s set of alt-strumming green notes and you can end the battle immediately to win without struggling. Trust me, try that and you’ll beat the Expert difficulty.
yes mate love this, defo do the co op ones
awesome video man will definitely be subbing :)
Awesome video. I love this
Glad you like it! Thank you
Congrats on the 1k for gh3 welcome to the club
14:08 I actually did manage to beat Expert with a standard controller, but it was NOT easy. Like you said the fast strumming parts are like a wall, so timing the star power and just mashing like hell for songs like Knights and Cambodia are a must.
I, for some reason, learnt guitar hero on lefty flip.
And a few years back, before I could play clone hero properly, I downloaded something called youtube flipper that let you mirror the videos and just loaded up youtube playthroughs of guitar hero songs and played to them.
Good times.
I had this pop up recently, and I was thinking of firing it up again on my PS3! Used to play it so much as a kid on my PS2, sold the games, and got the PS3 version around 2012 and got some of the downloadable content
Fuck yeah, I’ll definitely be here for a cool video! Great first impression (:
thank you very much!
I've got the high score for both hard and expert on a lot of songs on three GH arcade machines in Liverpool, so I get what you're talking about haha.
which songs are your go to?
So far I've done Stricken, Almost Easy & Lay Down. Think they're the only songs i've played solo there also haha
@@JForJackPlays I mainly play Holiday in Cambodia, Cities on Flames, Black Magic Woman, Sabotage, Bulls on Parade and Cult of Personality and the last time I was there in May I was still at or near the top of most songs on most machines. So if you see Chief on the list then that's me xD
This video just popped up and now im gonna break out the old guitar hero. I loved this game as much as anything. Havent played in 2 years but i need it.
Glad to hear that!
Enjoy getting hooked again ha
Just had the itch to play this again. What difficult achievements! Holy😮
For sure!
Such a great game
Awesome stuff
I started out playing controller on GH and never stopped. GH3 was my main game and yeah fast strumming is basically impossible without injury lol.
One that I got back then that I believe you can't get anymore is the "Meet your maker" achievement
Really great video. I had no idea GH3 had this many (and this hard!) achievements. You did so many and there's still so many left! Jesus. I barely finished a playthrough of GH WoR and had way more achievements than on GH3.
One small note: the section you mention at 7:44 is actually named Mosh. Flood! is the solo in the outro.
Also, this would be cheating of course, but if you did the cheats for unlocking all songs and unlocking everything and then loaded up a carreer, you'd also get the achievements for buying all the songs and all the characters etc. Apparently the game only checks if things are unlocked and not how you unlocked them.
Source: did that 😬
Takes me back. I didn’t have any of the DLC, other than the free ones, so I could only grind Through the Fire and Flames for the 750k achievement. I have no idea how many times I played the song or even for how long but I hit the 740s about 5 or 6 times before I finally reached the mark. I ended up with a score of 812k. Funny how it goes sometimes. I never came close to that score again.
I haven't done it yet but getting all achievements is one of my goals for guitar hero at the moment. If you do want to play more, admittedly easier guitar hero, there's a free PC clone with thousands of custom songs that are very easy to download and play
This is absolutely incredible viewing GG
Appreciate the kind words. Means a lot to me!
Thank you sir
Impressive. Now, get all the achievements for Rocksmith 2014. Took me a couple years to get the Platinum trophy on PS4. I'm trying for all the achievements on the PC version at the moment. It's challenging, but probably not as hard as the ones from GH3. Those are just sadistic.
I recently played through Cult of Personality at an arcade, it didn't seem to want to end
You really are a rock legend
14:08 I actually have beaten the career on expert on controller. There's a trick you can do for fast strumming where you can hold a higher fret and press lower frets and they count as an input on the higher fret. So, for example, you can hold yellow and quickly press green and red to strum a lot faster. I've also just naturally gotten really fast at greens and use 2 fingers to quickly press red whenever possible.
didnt have dlc songs so had to do some tricky songs for the 20 golds stars one. i was so elated when i tried "The Metal" to see if it was even plausible and FC'd it on my first try. never even hoped to five star all songs (well raining blood mainly) on expert tho hehe
I started playing guitar hero like a few months ago because of some nostalgia of watching the bigger kids at our local kids hangout spot center thing (dunno how to explain it) where they absolutely shredded. they had an xbox 360 there. But man I can't compete with the people who havw been playing these games since the 2000s
I first played it in a game store when GH1 was released. Knew I needed to get it straight away!
LETS GO NEW JFORJACK
RIGHT 🎉!!!
haha thank you!
