I Want It All 100% FC (GH:VH) My first Guitar Hero FC in about 8 months. Number 336/670.
I just reached my (very) long time Guitar Hero goal of 100% full combo-ing at least one half of all available on-disc songs on expert guitar. Welcome to the Jungle was my 335th out of a possible 670 spread across 11 different games. Welcome to the Jungle was a very satisfying last song too. I missed just one note on that song almost two years ago (May 2009).
Click through to check out my newly created Flikr photo set that contains photo proofs for 200 of my 335 include my first (January 2008) and My 335th (today).
The downfall of Guitar Hero has motivated me to get back to my quest to 100% FC one half of all on-disc songs (on expert guitar of course). I spent a good amount of time reformatting my spread sheet and photo album.
As of this morning’s hard fought FC of Metallica’s Orion, I have 324 out of 670 songs (195 with photo proof).
The remaining 11 songs will be tough but it is somewhat comforting to know that the total number of available songs will not change. I am no longer racing the developers as they pump out game after game. That is what it had felt like prior to this week. Activition was quite the sprinter. But they burned out. As a fan, I am in this for the long haul.
Wish me luck!

another reason that smoky is my fav
I cracked it open last night and started my blitzkrieg of Quest Mode. My Dad is visiting today and I wanted to be able to show him Black Widow of La Porte, Fury of the Storm, Sudden Death, Chemical Warfare and others. That means I have to unlock the top tier ASAP.
Quest Mode’s star ratings are blown out of proportion and inconsistent (because you have a different character power in each venue). For this reason I can’t really speak to how many songs I five-starred on sightread but I would guess I only missed one or two if any at all.
The most fun song to play was definitely the Alter Bridge song “Ties That Bind”. All the chord fests were disappointing, most notably AFI - “Dancing Through Sunday”. That riff could have been a blast to play and the solo could have been clean but fast and challenging. Instead you spend the whole song plodding your way through chord alt-strumming with strange hammerons mixed in. And the solo is a bit of a random strum clusterf**k.
When all was said and done I played through 5 characters and Rush’s 2112 set. I FCed 6 songs 3 of which were Rush 2112 parts, the most impressive of which was 2112: Sanctuary.
Heading home right after the market closes to clean up the apartment and make a run at the final tier before my Dad arrives. Wish me luck.
Guitar Hero Warriors Of Rock - Holy Wars… The Punishment Due 100% FC
Why is it that all of the pros seem to be able to get games early. Damn them. Also, this game looks incredible. I am prepared for this to be the best Guitar Hero game yet. Too bad Amazon does not have release day delivery. I’ll be getting this a week from today. Overall Expert guitar goals 1) 5-star all songs 2) FC half of the songs. I’ll keep Tumblr updated.
Day 20: a personal accomplishment that you are particularly proud of
I started playing Guitar Hero trying to pass all the songs on medium. Soon I was trying to 5-star songs on expert. My ultimate, long-term goal was to hit every note without making a mistake on half of all Guitar Hero songs on expert.
I met that goal on September 12th 2009 with My Woman From Tokyo (‘99 Remix) and then again on April 10th 2010 with Godzilla (GHSH). I had to do it a second time because more songs were released with Guitar Hero Van Halen. Currently I am sitting at 289/577. I have some serious work to do when Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock comes out in three weeks. Every indication is that this game will be very difficult to FC half of (FC = 100% & no added strums).

The Takedown - Yellowcard (Guitar Hero: Van Halen / Expert Guitar)
Why won’t this song die! I have been trying to FC it for the last 1.5 hours with no luck (FC = 100% w/ max note streak). I had one run where I choked BIG time on the 899th note (at 2:50, one of the first few easy single notes after the solo). I can hit every section consistently but I can’t seem to string together an FC.
The tough parts are—
the strumming patter at 0:40
the chorus at 1:00 (repeats 3x, twice before solo and once after)
the gallops at 1:25
and the solo at 2:34-2:47
That being said, I really like the song itself. I would like it a lot more if it didn’t insist on taunting me.
(not my gameplay video).
I’m the One first FC - GHVH G(X)
I am very sorry that this took me so long to find out about and get up. This happened on the 19th.
This is the first full combo of this song on expert guitar. A full combo, or FC, is when you hit every note in a song and your note streak is equal to the total number of notes in the song. If you strum when there is not a note, you will break your streak. In this case you can still get 100% but you can not get a full combo.
This songs lasted over three months before it finally got FCed. That is much longer than any song since Satch Boogie on Guitar Hero World Tour, which took about two months. The last song to take over three months was One from Guitar Hero 3, which took roughly one year.
If you don’t want to check out the whole video simply skip to the following sections for the most impressive gameplay.
2:44 through 2:52 for the impossibly difficult fast strumming/fretting section that very few people have ever hit
3:39 through 3:54 for the very tough VERY choke-able outro
4:06 through 4:09 for cheesy celebration
This song is easily classified in the list of songs that I could never hit even if I had months to practice and my life depended on it.
My favorite GH player, smokyprogg, is hosting an event to raise money for Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS). He started streaming himself playing GH5 a few hours ago and will not be stopping until monday. The GH goal is to FC all of GH5 in this one marathon play session dubbed “GH5 Hell”. Check it out. Even donate if you feel so inclined.
