How to (not) Play Guitar with Guitar Hero World Tour
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
Now that I’ve become a master at singing and drumming on Guitar Hero World Tour, I decided I was ready to play the guitar. How hard can it be? It’s already obvious that I’m going to be giving up my day job in favor of touring with Nickelback.
I chose to play along with the same Kurt Cobain song. However, I must not have been doing something else right. It was recording strokes, but it wasn’t showing any hits. The guitar has to be defective! That’s the only answer that is possible. The game informed me that I probably needed to blame it on lag, and calibrate my television.
My live chat members informed me I needed to use my thumb and strum along at the same time. Ok! Now we’re cooking with gas! I did such an amazing job that I unlocked two achievements! I bet even Jimi Hendrix would be proud!

I was watching this when it was being recorded, and absolutely started cracking up when Chris didn’t know that you had to strum the guitar in order to get the notes to come out. Priceless! I don’t have a 360, but this is definitely something I might think about when I get one (if I have room…)

Tutorial much? XD
I’m guessing the tutorial didn’t make itself known. Luckily, you got the hang of it after a while. Don’t forget that you can strum up AND down. You’ll need to perfect this technique for the faster songs ;)
It’s easier to hold the strum like you’d hold a guitar pick and treat it as a 6th button. Everyone develops their own style of course. You’ll soon find what works for you :)
