Anyone else have issues synching their Wireless 360 Guitar? I stopped playing a couple days and now it's out of sync and I can't re-sync it.

I go through all the steps, but no luck! I don't think I'd be able to exchange the thing where I bought it because it's so hard to find.

i'm pretty good at medium, finished my career getting 4 or 5 stars on every song, but i get absolutely raped when i try hard. i can manage to do 3 of the first songs (barely managing 3 stars) but i just can't get past that Poison song. everytime i get to the solo is where i bomb out, trying to move my hand back and fourth that quickly to hit the orange button is just impossible for me. even when i try to practice the song on slow mode i still can't do it. so frustrating

this is exactly where i live as well. the transition to the orange button just kills me on any of these games. so i'm stuck on medium.

If GH3 is your first Guitar Hero game, I really pity anyone who is trying to make the medium-hard transition. GH3 on hard is just absolutely brutal -- it's almost as tough as GH2 on expert. If you have it, try learning how to play with the orange button on GH2 first before trying to play GH3 on hard.

Also, another tip: if you're used to medium, you're probably in the habit of leaving your index finger on the Green button and then never having to move your fingers. On hard, the default position should be to have your index finger on Red, since it's stronger than your pinky and it's easier to have your index finger doing double-duty on green/red than it is for your pinky to do blue/orange. Depending on the section of the song, you'll shift your hand back and forth with index green/pinky blue and index red/pinky orange. With practice, it will come naturally to you when to switch hand positions.

noticed this as well, have some friends who learned on GH2 on PS2 and they are MILES ahead of us who have tried to make the transition from medium to hard on GH3.

Personally I found hard on GH2 to be harder than 3.. Perhaps I was better by the time I tried it, but I flew through it way faster than on 2.. The last couple of songs are definately tougher (slayer) but overall I found the GH3 hard to be easier.. People having a tough time making the transition from medium to hard should remember the groove on the yellow button, it helps when you get moving back and forth quickly to remember where your fingers are..

dunno i went and played some GH2 with them and I was miles better on that as well. Maybe it's not easier but it seems slower.

So nobody has had syncing issues with the Wireless Guitar?

I really want to get into it again but this is really pissing me off.

Why would it just not sync anymore?

Dan02 · 01-14-2008, 05:33 PM

I played on my friends xbox after playing on my Wii and it definately was having big time sync issues, they didn't seem to notice beacuse they were used to it but it was slaying me.

That's different than what my problem is, I can't even get it to connect to the system.

Two songs that owns me. One, and Raining Blood. Gah.

My take is that the bulk of the songs are harder in GH3 but the solos in GH2 are by far more difficult to pull off.

SarichFan · 01-15-2008, 01:00 PM

Looks like i'll have to send in my Les Paul to Red Octane for a replacement... Son of a.

Got my RMA#, ect... Are there any cheap wired Guitars I can pick up for the 360 to use temporarily?

Good luck with that. I'm probably at 500+ attempts now.

One time I hit all three of the battle-ups but before I could unleash them on him he nailed me with one and I lost. That was just one time though. The other 499 were not as enthralling. I know I can catch that effing dragon though. Man.

nice, I've never come close to hit the the first 3 battle-ups. I just gave up for now and went on to doing as many expert songs as possible.

STAMPEDRED · 01-17-2008, 12:33 AM

i got through medium with 4 and 5 stars. hard is pretty much 3 stars the whole way. I'm stuck on Knights of Cambodia! Argghh!

Super fun game either way!

For knights of cydonia, makes sure to alt. strum the long run notes (string of all greens...ect), and save your star power for the "scales" part. Might get you a crappy score, but should pass it. then prepare to cry when you try the slayer song.

STAMPEDRED · 01-17-2008, 01:50 PM

i passed knights of cambodia and 3's and 7's FINALLY, and now I'm really crying! I got through the Eric Clapton song barely, and thought i was doing good until all those crazy solos. Time for some expert on the easier songs first now... i need some dignity back!
