If you play Guitar Hero four hours a day the same old strumming can get a bit tiring. Here are some ways to make the game like new again.
Piano Style or Dobro Style, as I call it. Hold the Guitar flat on your lap and play it like that. It’s the best of these three to start with because it’s easy.
Violin Style. Hold the guitar like a violin. I like this a lot… makes me feel sophistimacated. Sometimes if I’m feeling really gutsy, I’ll use the Whammy Bar as the bow. Otherwise I just hold it like a violin and play it like a guitar.
Wii-Mote Only. I don’t know if you can do some variant of this with XBox or PS2/3, but you can do it with the Wii for sure. It’s the most challenging if you’ve played with the guitar for a long time. B=Green. Right Arrow=Red. A=Yellow. 1=Blue. 2=Orange. Up Arrow=Star Power. Shaking the remote=Whammy. It can get pretty complicated. I’ve been too much of a chicken to try it on anything higher than Medium.

I have a secret related to the Super Smash Bros. series… concerning the second game… Super Smash Bros. Melee. Here it is:
I hated that game. It was like too much mayonnaise in between my two delicious pieces of Italian Herbs and Cheese bread from Subway. I never finished unlocking all the characters. The main reason I didn’t like it was because I hate the Gamecube Controller. My fingers are too long to get a good-feeling grip on that thing… and my fingers aren’t even that long! I’d call the Nintendo Gamecube Controller Nintendo’s biggest flop.

This is my extensive schedule for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I will miss one meal and lose at least five hours of sleep.
- Play one Vs. match with each character just to get acquainted with the new gameplay.
- Play one more match by clicking the Character Randomizer. After this, my 22nd match, I will have earned Luigi, Marth, and Ness. (Man, hidden characters are easy to get this time.)
- Play three more matches with Luigi, Marth, and Ness.
- Play classic mode as Link, thus earning Toon Link.
- Play classic mode as Meta Knight, thus earning Jigglypuff.
- Play four vs. matches as Peach and earn Super Mario Bros. 2, Virtual Console demo.
- Complete five target tests with any character to earn Lucario.
- Play 15 Matches on Shadow Moses Island alternating between the three new characters I’m most curious about: Diddy Kong, Pokemon Trainer, and Pit. Now I shall have Snake. (I’m now at 44 vs. matches total.)
- Now the Stage Builder fun begins! Build 15 Stages thus earning “Edit Parts B and C”.
- Play 10 vs. Matches on those Custom Stages thus earning “Edit Part A.”
- Play 10 matches on the different returning Melee stages.
- I’m now ready for online play! My first online match will be with the Classic Controller. My first character will be Mario.
- Play several dozen more online matches.
- Start the Subspace Emissary. Once I beat it, I’ll have earned Sonic.
- Pass out from sheer excitement and lack of sleep.
