First EVER 100% FC on Medium

A few weeks ago I decided it was final time to switch to medium. I had been playing easy since I was about 6 or 7. After getting basically 100% on all easy songs I decided it was time to switch to medium. I never actually thought I would ever get to medium because I could never get my pinky to the blue. I’m now 21 and can confidently say medium is my new difficulty. Very proud of myself.

Linus Tech Tips put together a buyer's guide for contemporary guitars at various price points. The revival continues!

This is pretty damn good and in-depth. They're using YARG while mentioning Clone Hero as another option, while arguing YARG is a more polished experience, showing off the animated bandmates. Obviously there's some Youtuber Spectacle in this especially once you get into customs territory, but this is a pretty neat, concise buyer's guide, and I gotta say putting this together and bigging up both of the free customs engines and Stage Tour is really helping the 'We Are So Back' feeling.

$5: keyboard you already have

$20: PS2 original controller with a PS2 -> USB converter, they say they couldn't use tilt SP with this

$50: Wiitar ($30) and RCM V3 ($23), they recommend the Clone Hero Wiki for specific models and say to watch out for missing wireless connectors and the six-button GHL axe.

$60: RCM Revival Kit (price of Any Old Guitar not included). For value for money, the RCM kits get a strong recommendation at the end.

$100: More sought-after old guitars, using the 360 Xplorer as an example case. Includes a warning about overstrum

$~150: Contemporary mass-produced guitars (Riffmaster and CRKD, with CRKD getting a more in-depth look). At this point, newbies start feeling 'diminishing returns' on quality vs price. The component differences between a CRKD and a revival kit seem more apparent to experienced players, and Hall Effect can be hit or miss depending on the user.

$250-500: Polybar systems, 3D printing, customs like Hammer-On Guitars. Note that some customs lack the yellow fret's guide bump.

What are my options for buying a Custom Made Guitar?

Hey guys. I hope you're all doing well. If this post isn't allowed, please accept my apologies and remove it.

I knew people were modding old guitars to update the hardware and to make them compatible with PC but i had no idea that the option for a completely custom built guitar was out there.

I was watching XMoistMoose's stream and he was playing this sick double neck explorer so i asked him about it. (nice dude btw, i recommend his stream)

Turn out its made by https://www.hammeronguitars.com/ and they will build you a guitar from the options of like 34 body styles, 25 headstocks, 23 neck inlays and 20 colors. When i messed around making a guitar i'd like, it came out to be around $309.00 usd.

So now i have some questions for the community....

  1. Anyone here ever get one of these guitars from hammer-on and if so, hows the build quality, how do you like it, and how does it play? Is it worth it?

and

  1. Who else out there makes fully custom guitars? If i'm about to drop 300 bucks on something, i'd like to be able to consider all my options and make sure im getting the best product out there.

Thanks for all the input and recommendations in advance. I appreciate y'all!

Sugestões para um futuro Guitar Hero

Se a Activision resolve-se lançar um novo jogo da série guitar hero para as plataformas atuais, quais serias suas sugestões para esse novo jogo?

As minhas são:

  1. Pode ser jogado com controles tradicionais ou controles de intrumentos.

  2. Resgatar a estética cartoon presente entre os jogos GH1 e GH3.

  3. Criar uma campanha com história e progresso, por mais simples que possa ser (como ocorre em GH3).

  4. Não se apegue a fabricar os instrumentos, uma alternativa seria licenciar a fabricação para outras empresas que já trabalham com isso, como a CRKD.

  5. Volte ao foco do jogo, o instrumento principal é a guitarra, trabalhe apenas com ela na gameplay. Acho legal ter outros instrumentos, mas apenas se todos tiverem uma gameplay excelente, caso contrário, mantenha a guitarra.

  6. Escolha bem o setlist, crie um fixo da campanha, com adicionais de musicas bônus. Separado disso pode ser criado um catálogo de musicas online, que se atualiza constantemente (precisa ser bem emplementado).

  7. Multiplayer é essencial, contemplando diversos modos já conhecidos, como co-op, pro face off e battle. A atualização de musicas no sistema online é essencial para a longevidade do modo.

  8. Mantenha seu jogos vivo, ele precisa perdurar durante os anos, mantenha as licenças das músicas pelo maior tempo possível.

  9. 5 botões na guitarra, e coloridos.

  10. Parceria com artistas, para eles aparecerem no jogo. Ao mesmo tempo que isso trás engajamento ao jogo, o jogo também engaja os artistas.

  11. Sim, você (Activision) tem público que gostaria de consumir um novo Guitar Hero.

My 16 year old guitar finally broke down, any way to fix it?

I got this guitar since I was a kid and finally found it again and knowing about clone hero I started playing on PC but mid game it stopped working, It would turn on for a second and shut down and I noticed the body where the board would be was heating up even the batteries. I searched it up and it told me it might be the capacitors that gave up.

Is there any way to fix this or any similar situation to give me a step by step way to fix it?

Thanks!

Best PS3 controller

I want to play gh3, Aerosmith, world tour, Metallica, and as many of the rock band games as I can.

I want to stick with the red octane/activision ones as much as possible, I’ve heard the 3rd party ones you see on Amazon don’t work well.

What controllers should I get?

Broken Guitar Fixable?

Bought this from a car boot sale, so far it doesn’t turn on, it’s missing the spring and connector on the battery box and it’s also covered in rust in parts of the boards, think it’s a write off? Any advice appreciated!

Thrift store find

I found what appears to be one of those guitars off of amazon in my local thrift store, i ended up getting it even though it lacks a dongle thinking that i could j get one, could i just use an original ps3 dongle or do i need to find the original listing and get the dongle from there?

I don’t want this gutair to die man 😢

Earlier today I felt like playing my gutair hero since I haven’t touched it for a while and put batteries in it to see if it turns on and it didn’t. I then brought a fresh batch of batteries and cleaned the contacts a little bit in the battery compartment, still nothing. Now I’m stuck with a ps3 with a unplayable guitar. I found this port thing underneath the guitar and wondered if this is the only thing that could make me play it again. Can someone please tell me if there’s a way of saving my gutair 😢

This is your sign to get a star power pedal

Got some donos on stream the other day and picked up a cheap USB foot pedal on amazon.

This is the one I picked up.

https://a.co/d/09QHc0pt

All I had to do was plug it in and map it to star power in clone hero.

Works great and is an absolute game changer. It helps me keep combos going and its honestly fun. Its another level of immersion when you stomp the pedal at a tone switch to active your star power. Its just a neat little thing thats cool that adds to the game.

I cant recommend setting one up more.

Have a great day yall
