I have had it since saturday, I am afraid to say I have become obsessed.

This evening...Pat Benatar on Medium difficulty 97%, 159 stream!

I am having a break. One more go before bedtime. Honestly!

I work with addicts, but clearly cannot hear my own words!

What is popstar guitar? Any good?

Oh and I can do Foo Fighters on medium at 90%, but cant get past that, its very very hard.

And a latino rock one, cant remember the name, I LOVE that one, but its tough on medium, get between 87-89%.

Sad eh!

I had a go on my parent's game, for the Wii, this weekend. I am rubbish. I just can't hit the keys at all and end up hitting the black bits in the middle. I was soooooo bad!

PavlovtheCat · 14/01/2009 21:59

Hula - I was bad at first, could just about get through a song on easy. But, too much a little bit of practice and it all comes together. There are however, some songs I can't do in easy either, yet! Give me til the end of the week month and I will be able to do all of them in some capacity!!!

I love it too, its fab. We got ds it for Christmas and I've played it more than he has.

Totally addictive though

PavlovtheCat · 14/01/2009 22:01

Aimsmum - you have to unlock songs with Guitar Hero too, but you start with a good few at first.

We have just completed Ozzfest in Germany as one of the 'careers' OMG that was hard, proper hardcore rock to play...

You mean [http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/6362866/Pop-Star-Guitar-+-FREE-AIR-G-Peripheral/Product.html?cm_m mc=FroogleVideoGames--PuzzlePop+Star+Guitar+++FREE+%22AIR-G%22+Peripheral&source=5063&engine= frooglevideogames&keyword=Pop+Star+Guitar+%2B+FREE+%22AIR-G%22+Peripheral+(WII) here]]? !

LOL I cant do it either!

MumHadEnough - it is too addictive - I find myself humming songs like On the Road Again, or Hotel California or Blondie as I wonder around work, and when I listen to rock songs, I think 'oh I wonder if I can play that on Guitar Hero? How hard would that be?'

Hula - you need to find your rhythm love...., try the 'practice' session, you can do bits of it, and you can slow it down really slowly to practice. You need to start the song, and as soon as it starts, pause it and then go to 'practice'.

I have been practising using the slider bar thing, and things called 'hammer ons' How cool does that sound

Aims - yes, we want the drum kit, I almost said sod it and bought the whole band set of World Tour, but it was too much. We just got solo guitar for World Tour, and will get the drums later. BUT, they are very expensive to get alone . Might be a while yet.

My friend came over with his guitar at the weekend and we jammed with him doing bass guitar (well, a few of us, we all alternated songs and had a go on each), was lots of fun!

It's my parents so don;t get chance to use it much. DH isn't into it, and songs don't appeal to DD - so can't see us getting one for ourselves. I was just so rubbish, lol!

PavlovtheCat · 14/01/2009 22:18

ok, I am NOT going to have one more go.

Because if I do, I will not get to bed before midnight, and I am very tired after a bad night last night, and a really bad night the night before, so need some sleep.

Otherwise I might dream of frets!!!
