Mastering Guitar Hero 3

By James Laney

Everyone that has touched the game knows that Guitar Hero 3 is almost impossible to put down once you get started. After spending a little bit of time on it, however, you will discover that it is more challenging than the earlier versions. Fear not though, this article is going to show you some of the secrets to success at Guitar Hero 3 and have you playing like a seasoned veteran of the game.

The easiest and most common mistake people make when getting started on Guitar Hero 3 is to just jump in with both feet and try to blow through all of the levels too quickly without actually taking the time to truly understand the game and, just as importantly, the controller. With this game you really need to take it slow and train your hands and fingers how to operate the controller, almost like learning to play a real guitar. After doing this you will be ready to tackle the more advanced levels of the game.

The first level of the game is deceptively easy and most people find themselves blowing through without taking the time they should to familiarize themselves with the game and how it is played. Rushing through these early games without spending the time to learn the necessary game play techniques will leave a player unable to progress in the higher levels.

Do yourself a big favor and do not try to see how fast you can move on to the next levels. If you take this approach you will almost certainly find yourself completely over your head and be destroyed when you get to the upper levels of advancement. It is not uncommon for players who do this to get so frustrated with the game that they give up on it and put it away. We do not want that to happen to you so just take your time and master each level before moving on.

I would also suggest that you take a friend along for the ride when you are trying to beat the expert levels of Guitar Hero 3. It is a lot easier to achieve something when you have someone else pushing you and giving you a little bit of support when you start missing those harder notes.

When you are playing alone, it is pretty easy to get frustrated and just put the game away. When you are playing in co-op mode, you are playing for both you and your friend and that little extra bump may be all you need to put you over the top in Guitar Hero 3.
