Since you've already read Jane's wonderful rant about the problems with Guitar Hero, I'd like to humbly submit my own notes around dissatisfaction with Guitar Hero (despite my love for Guitar Hero).

Nintendo Wii

Nintendo DS Zoo Keeper
Mike from Mule Design says: "Simple and addictive matching game. Crack for the DS." I love it too. (*****)
O3 Software: Alien Hominid
Rrecommended by Souris, side scroller with old-school personality and Viewtiful Joe sense of humor. The Nintendo polish that I expect isn't quite there, and it feels like a Playstation port of an old arcade game (the usual nintendo buttons don't work - b for back, for instance). This is partly intentional, I know, but I think this game is intended for more serious gamers. (***)
Nintendo DS
At once overhyped and misunderstood. Mario 64 DS is wonderful. (*****)
Spider-Man 2: The Movie 2
My favorite non-Nintendo produced Gamecube game, by far. Best graphics outside of Zelda, and fastest action outside of Ikaruga. (****)
Nintendo: Wario Ware, Inc.:Mega Microgame$
Should come included with the DS! (*****)
GameCube Broadband Adapter
Why stop at 1? Why not buy 3? (****)
BELKIN A3X126-7BK 7-Foot CAT 5e UTP Crossover Cable
If you don't have a computer genius around to cut your standard ethernet cable in half and rewire it, you'll need one of these. This is overpriced but convenient. (**)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
We love this. (*****)
Miyamoto: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
More than reason enough to buy a Nintendo. Probably the most beautiful video game ever made. (*****)
Checked out both of your links...Good stuff.
I see where Jane's coming from, but I don't think most people would have problem with how certain musicians are portrayed. I'm sure the characters were made with the respective musician's approval anyway.
It would be cool to upload our own songs/notes and create our own characters in the future...that would really make this type of game super interactive!

man, guitar hero is definitely not my favorites right now; you bring up some good points though.

yeah, i see what both reviews are pointing to but i still have to say that guitar hero is, at the foundational level, an extraordinary game. it has, no doubt, opened up the realm of interactive video games and completely raised the standard for what people look for in video games today. yes, there are certain elements that could be improved, but i'm not sure i'd bring it down to the level of DDR.

I love playing guitar! When I am stressed I would just sit down and play with my guitar. Life can be a hassle with all of the heavy traffic, work, and things your kids want to do after you pick them up at school. When something happens that puts you in a crunch for money, you simply don’t have the time to use up gallons of gas driving around town to find someone willing to give you a loan. if we want to apply for loan all we need is enough information for us not to be victimized by the so-called predatory lending done by other payday loan companies.

stress reliever, that's one of the major purpose why i'm so into wii's guitar hero. playing guitar has been one of my hobbies since childhood. i'd still remember how i've learned to play the happy birthday song back then. anyways, there are really some points to consider and to mention to the perfection of the guitar hero. and i would definitely agree on that, but the thing is, whether we like it or not, the guitar hero changed the gaming landscape in the world. it's a total entertainment without losing the importance of time. you'll get to learn playing guitar just like owning a real acoustic and be able to entertain yourself. i hve downloaded populars from this Wii downloads Sites. I hope this would be of help. Thanks.

Everyone sells the Wii console for 249.99. It comes with one wimotie.Guitar Hero III bundle for Wii retails for $ 89.99. You can sometimes find it for a little less on sale, but with demand exceeding the supply at this point, you may have to pay full price.The guitar controller comes with the bundle. The wimotie plugs into the guitar controller. You won't need any other hardware.However, I would recommend getting another wimotie and a couple of nunchucks for play with other games and so that two people can play together.In order for two people to play GH3 together, you probably will want another guitar controller, which hasn't been marketed individually yet. The release date is set for late January. It is possible to play the game with just the wimotie, but it is awkward and difficult.

Can you ask this in the VIDEO GAME section? Your qioutsen has NOTHING to do with music, dude! NOTHING! LOL! Rock Band games are software' designed for certain hardware'. You want to know if your software can be used with the hardware of another console. WTF does that have to do with Rock Pop or music at all? NOTHING! LOL! By example, you could be asking if your Atari Pac-man game can be played using the controller of a Playstation 2 (see has NOTHING to do with music) oh and I'm bored lol peace out!

I don't care for the 3DS version bsuecae the graphics suck as bad if not worse than the level list. I think the console version sucks level list wise too. Classic Sonic's stage in Radical Highway should have been the third part of the stage where it was daylight and had that perfect techno music. Starlight Zone should have been the cOnsole stage that led to Metal Sonic in my opinion. Over all in the end both versions will suck and be boring as he'll in a few weeks time. Both versions should have had at LEAST the same amount of levels Sonic 3 had when locked onto Sonic & Knuckles. With that many stages the game would take quite some time to beat and get 100% but only 8 or 9 worlds? Some big 20th celebration. In a few weeks everybody here and on every Sonic site are going to be complaining saying Man that was short Booorrriiinnng Moving onto Zelda Skyward and Mario Olympics now.

Music is a powerful means of self exrsespion and learning to make music is something I have wanted to be able to do for a long time. The guitar is an an amazingly versatile instrument and a means of expressing ones-self in so many different ways on many different levels. After a frustrating initial effort this time I'm going to succeed and learn to play for my own enjoyment and sense of accomplishment.

Natural Minor and Harmonic Minor are good for metal. Check out Marty Friedman's work with Megadeth for some fine examples. For Rock, dediepnng on the style (hard rock, southern rock, blues rock, etc), you can use Natural Minor, Dorian, Pentatonic, Major or Mixolydian. You improvise solos well by practicing within the particular style of song you want. For metal, you're generally going to be soloing in natural minor, so practice that scale, and do it all over the neck of the guitar. If you have a sequencer, you can set it to just pedal on a certain chord, and practice your scales over that chord. Also practice bending notes. If you can already play the blues, you should be able to play metal. Pentatonic scales also work for that.For Rock, do the same thing, but with major, pentatonic and minor scales. If you want to play something that sounds a little jazzy, or like the Allman Brothers Band, throw a Dorian scale in the mix. If you want to play something like an Eagles song in a major key, try some mixolydian (also good for country). Just make sure to keep practicing everything, and you'll get it fairly quickly.
