I figured I’d better keep up my pretend-guitar skills, so I finally got back to finishing off the Medium difficulty in Guitar Hero 3 today. It was actually easier than expected, as I passed the remaining songs without any failures and even beat Lou on the first try (though it was pretty close at the end).

I then went back and started the Hard career mode in GH2, since it’s supposed to be a bit easier than GH3’s hard mode and would be a gentler introduction to having to use the fifth fret. It’s still a pretty harsh jump though, and it took me about four tries just to pass Surrender in the first tier.

I did eventually pass the first tier, but I really need to practice shifting my fingers a lot more. Too often I’m losing track of where they are and pressing the wrong fret when I think it’s the right one.
