I don;t think I'm that far in Hard yet.
I'm in the set with Freya. That is the last song in that set I need to beat to unlock the encore and then the next set. I just can't get past Freya on Hard.
I still have my three "bane of my existence" songs in Medium to 5*

I'm on easy but for me apparently that song was the easiest of everything I've done so far.

Ah, I know what a hammer on pull off is, I just never called it a HOPO 
Speaking of which, it doesn't work for me. I'll have the green fret pressed, I strum, then I leave the green fret pressed and press the red fret then the yellow and NOTHING, it shows I never strummed for red and yellow. Sigh

Older bands that hold out on allowing their songs to be used in Guitar Hero are missing out financially.
Although it's a sad thing, the game would probably expose a good number of teens to bands they normally wouldn't have heard before. If just a fraction of those kids went out and picked up one of their cd's I would imagine that it would generate some nice royalty checks.

Well, I finally beat expert career mode the other night. Institutionalized gave me the most trouble. The other songs I passed after only a few times. Only got 3 stars on any of them, but I passed them, and that's good enough for now. Now I've got about 10 songs left on hard to 5 star, so I'm going back to do that.

Any other tips??

Today has been a good day for me. I kind of hit a brick wall with my playing, thinking I can't really get much better. I've added 30k+ to quite a few of my high scores and I'm nailing some solos I never though possible. Anyone else have hit a brick wall for a few weeks and then progress rapidly one day? I have this same thing happen to me with actual instrument playing as well. It's like one day I wake up and my brain says "hey, you can do this now, enjoy!"

I finally 5-starred Psychobilly Freakout on Expert.
Funny thing is, I was all ready to hunker down and try it 5 times in a row to get the 5*, and I did it on the first attempt.
One thing I've always noticed about the GH games is that you're more likely to play better if you're in a good mood, or otherwise not distracted. They take so much concentration that if I'm not 100% focused, I end up just completely sucking.

Wonder what the odds of that ever actually being released are. Good ol Dragonforce.

So I got this game on a whim through a CAG free game deal and I am hopelessly addicted! Help! Is there a ROCK GOD in all of us waiting to burst out in a fury of sweat and beer?

I finally snagged a spot alone at the demo machine in Best Buy to try it out and felt like an idiot when I was mashing away at the colored buttons to Sweet Child Of Mine to no avail and a Blue Shirt came over and told me I had to move the strumming(?) button at the same time. Once I learned that I was hooked.
