Lost Ball played GH last night for the first time

I'm not trying. The only thing I can do with my left hand is try desperately to hang on to my driver.

I play all old Guitar Hero games (1, 2, 80's) on hard (and a few songs on expert). Except Guitar Hero 3 - it is more flailing at the guitar than actual note-playing. Medium puts me to sleep and I don't come close to beating Hard...so what gives?

Lost Ball is thankful that "to hang on to my driver" is how you finished that sentence

Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.

I hate guitar hero. I play real guitar (they have strings not buttons) and guitar hero is was harder. I tried rock me like a hurricane on expert at my friends house and it was moving way faster that the song is played and its harder because instead of moving is the small area at the bottom of the fretboard for solos you are flying near the top which is insanley hard. Ill just stick to COD4.

Guitar Hero I, II, III are the greatest games EVER! I never get sick of playing these games and love trying to beat my high scores. They pick really great songs to put on the games too! LOVE THIS GAME!

I love GH and Rock Band. I don't get the people saying that this game is stupid, buy a real guitar. This is an insta fun game, I don't want to dedicate years of time to learn how to play Metallica and Sabbath on a real guitar. Yes it is a game.

When I see people playing Call of Duty or FPS, I don't say, well this is stupid, why don't you just sign up for the marines so you can shoot people in a real war.

I don't think anyone claims they are a guitar god just because they can beat the game on Expert. Hell, in Tiger Woods 08, I shot a -20 on a course, dosent mean I can go hit the links and birdy every hole.

alot of people actually have said to me that guitar hero is much harder than learning real guitar, and although the game IS fun, it bothers me, as a musician who dedicates hours each week to practicing when people tell me this!

Well, there is plenty of bad weather and darkness to find time for videogames, and Guitar Hero is one I enjoy. I have a Wii, and the last Guitar Hero was released for the Wii. I got it when it was released back in the Fall, and I played it pretty religiously the first month or so. I'll still play it from time to time (mostly when friends are over). I can handle the easy and medium levels, but I just haven't ever been able to work my way through the hard and expert levels. I'm definitely lacking in the GH skills, but it's still a blast nonetheless.

To the people who say 'learn a real guitar' - seriously? OK, so go drive a real F1 car, go shoot a real gun, go play real tennis.... Video games are games, stop being such a wet blanket.

I have GHIII for Wii. With a few hiccups along the way, I got up to Expert - only song I can't pass is Raining Blood (and I admit, I wussed the battle with Lou on Hard, haven't gone back to try in a while). I got to the point where it was either too frustrating to keep trying Raining Blood, or too boring to go back and play other songs. So I decided to go back and do it all over again left-handed. I'm up to the last set in Hard - I beat Cliffs of Dover, but Raining Blood and Number of the Beast kicked my butt. My left hand isn't capable of strumming that fast yet!

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
