Regarding boss battles - I don't see why they're annoying since you can wuss out after failing several times.

Oh yeah, but since he's the last boss that's forgiveable. I found the only way to consistently beat him is by
I also didn't know until like 2 hours into losing to him that you can save up to 3 powerups and unleash them in a row. D'oh!

I guess where I'm getting hung up in my lower scores is not knowing exactly when to activate the star power I have built up.
Basically you want to use star power when there are a lot of notes/chords AND you can actually hit those notes/chords. Using Star Power during a fast solo may be the optimal way to do it, but if you keep breaking your streak during it, it's probably better to wait until the chorus which has a bunch of easy repeated chords.
For some songs it's easy to figure out a good star power path, others it takes a lot of work and scrutinizing the note charts... plus some experimentation. I enjoy trying the best paths, but I usually don't create my own. There's normally good discussion on scorehero about paths, although last I checked they didn't have the note charts for GH3 up yet.

I've also got the "Meet Your Maker" achievement. So if I'm on and playing, send me an invite if you want it.
I must be one of the only people here who doesn't see the Amp Overload powerup as being that bad to deal with. The worst for me is Lefty Flip (Righty Flip for me) and the whammy one, as the whammy bar is out of place for me, being a lefty.

From the last thread:
I've researched this to death, and there is no way to use the PS2 controller with any of the newer systems. It really sucks, cause now I'll have 4 plastic controllers laying around the house.
Question from a GH newbie here.
I don't own any of the games.
I have a PS3 and a Wii. I also have a PS2 but it's not hooked up.
I'm trying to decide what system to get GH 3 on. I would like to be able to play the older versions too, but I've read you can't play any of the older PS2 GH games with the PS3 controller.
Does a PS2 GH controller wired into the PS3 via adapter work with the older games? I have the 60GB PS3 which should have the necessary backwards compatibility.
Next question:
I've read some stuff here and there that suggested the PS3 controller has some lag issues. Has anyone here experienced this?
Thanks in advance...

And what's the star power path? I'd guess it's like you wait til you have 2, then 3, then 2, but the 5 has me confused. I know there's gotta be some list somewhere that has the "best" ways to use SP, but I just play and use it whenever I feel like it . The best way to beat my scores is to gold star a song after I have. I won't bother to find the best way to do it . Of course, after the 19th of this month, y'all can have all the high scores, I'll probably be stricken with Rock Band from then on .
Also, flair, get to work practicing the TTFAF strumming. I want to 5 star co-op that bad boy!

In Cherub Rock - what I mean by "5" in 2-3-2-5 is that even though my star power is maxed out after the 4th set of star notes, I still don't activate until after the 5th and last set of star notes in order to 8x all those 16th notes at the outro.
I experimented with 2-3-2-1(lots of whammying, skip 1 after activation)-3 but I was maxing out around 510K.
And I'm sure there's an even better way since #1 got 9K higher than my score, which seems untouchable

I noticed on the PS Store that they have downloadable song packages for sale. The Artist are Velvet Revolver and the Foo Fighters. 6.25 for 3 songs from an artist is a little much, but i'm a sucker and will be buying them.

I'll have to get passed the intro first Maybe being less drunk would help. Or more? Who knows. I played with someone last night a few beers after you and they left half way through I was doing so bad I'm thinking of switching back to an SDTV and getting serious about playing again. I just don't see how I can be doing this bad at the game still. Maybe I should have just stuck with GHII.
Michael Corvin, don't worry about "holding the group back" I think the only thing it is good for is keeping track of what others on here are doing and adding up our total groupie amount.

We need a logo for our tourgroup! I created this one:
74x74 and 108x108 . Not sure which size you have to upload with.
They look like this with the pick border overlay:
Not that great but better than the GH we currently have. Feel free to use or ignore
