How to Play Like a Rock Star: Stylish Moves when Playing Guitar Hero
3
Guitar Hero is best known for bringing in music into the world of
video games, and for its third installment, Guitar Hero 3, you can now
play against real life musicians such as Slash, Lou and Tom Morello.
Having their characters on board increases your passion to play not just
the game but the music, hence you must learn how to play in style.
Playing in style doesn't necessarily mean you dress up like your
favorite rock idols and follow their each and every move; rather, you
must know how to play the notes with grace. If you want to know more how
to play Guitar Hero in style, then here are some tips you can follow:
Listen to the music. While playing Guitar Hero mainly involves hitting
the notes at the right time, it is important that you follow the rhythm
and beat as well. Doing so, you get to know the music by heart, and as
if you are playing your own original piece. Listening to the music also
helps a lot in familiarizing the song, so that the next time you play it
you no longer have to follow what the game play screen says since your
mind, body and heart are already synchronized with the song.
Know how to play the hammer-ons. Hammer-ons are a technique where you
have to hit a string of consecutive notes with just one strum of the
pick. This can be quite tricky especially when you're just starting out
in the game. However, you can begin working on the hammer-ons by keeping
your fingers close together, or assigned at their designated fret
buttons. Keeping them close together allows them to work on their fret
assignments faster, so that when you encounter a series of notes at a
fast tempo, you won't panic and search for the appropriate buttons. Once
you no longer panic in hitting the fast notes or chords, then hammer-ons
will be a breeze.
Aim for Star Power! One way to improve your score points as well as your
overall confidence while playing the song is by aiming for star power.
You can build Star Power points by hitting on the notes with blue stars,
and once they are at lease half-full, you can activate the Star Power
option by raising your guitar vertically. Star Power is both a challenge
and a gift; it takes you to more difficult notes to play, but with each
right note your score increases, just like growing fame and popularity.
By hitting the right notes constantly, you become a better and more
stylish rock star!
Challenge the guitar gods. The ultimate way for you to play Guitar Hero
3 in style is by playing against the real guitar gods which can be found
in Boss Battles. These include the above mentioned musicians such as Tom
Morello, Lou an Slash, as they do perform their signature moves during
the game. By playing against them you get to know more about their own
moves, which you can incorporate on your own stylish ways.
