OMG! i just finnished it! it was my 5000 gamerscore milestone :D awesome..

i guess you could say im self taught

i started when i was 12/13 then stopped for years (mostly because i was sucked in by freestyle bmx), im now 22 and i got a 25w fender amp with a reverb for x mas and i've been playing again daily for about an hour sometimes way more………i've been learning mostly surfy stuff, that ol' timey rock and roll

i have about 5-7 songs i can get all the way through right now and about 20-30 others that i'm piecing together

the program guitar pro has been super HELPFUL in making practice more structured and productive

it just takes time and desire to learn new things and get better (just like bmx)

I still think that if you want to learn guitar fast you need to do it on a real guitar

What? Does that mean something? Are you German?

I wish someone would spank me once in awhile for leaving comments like this. I need a spanky…please.

Yeah, being a fag, I naturally gravitate toward unreal things…so guitar hero was a natural progression for me. Thanks to whoever the tw@ts were that invented it. So I'd feel like I was grabbing a clit once in a while.

You put together a really cool set of tutorials. I had no idea this came with Xbox 360 live, thanks for the share. Time to try making a video game!

I got the achievement finally after forgetting to close the door and having to reload a save a little bit back. Did anyone else notice when Kleiner says something like \Payload variance of 8 and a half pounds\ and magnusson says \That's well within limits, nothing to worry about.\ I think that's the gnome! and maybe lamarr….anyways, it's a pretty cool achievment, tho I wonder what the secret achiement is….

i put the gnome in the thing left came back to my computer and saw that i had to close the door! WHAT THE EFFF I GOT OWNED

CLOSE THE DOOR!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CLOSE THE DOOR!!!!

I got the little &*#@er into the nosecone… and I didn't close the door… I figured once I got the rocket launched, I'd get the achievement…. so I go throw the entire Strider sequence, push the button, the rocket launches, and…. nothing…. NOTHING!! That's when I came to this site and read that you had to close the dang door…

Fortunately for me, I'd had a fairly convenient savepoint set and I only had to wade through some cutscene conversation and a group hug on an elevator to get back to where I needed to get to to finish up..

that was an adventure..

now..

to find a job..

i love your hair do at the pokemon theme on donkey konga

Playing a real guitar is much more satisfying than playing Guitar Hero. And reading the novel is better than seeing the movie. In fact, writing your own novel is better than reading someone else's novel. You can express yourself.
What fun is a rollercoaster? when you can buy a car and drive up and down hills? isn't that more satisfying? Better still if you built the car yourself. And the hills.
I love playing my guitar – that I made (I'm a luthier) – in my house – that I built – from trees I cut down myself – because its all really satisfying.
Seriously

Not a bad collection of vids, keep up the cool posts!

Sounds like a good idea Amber! I know I'd appreciate something like that. However, unless you buy an actual garden gnome, I think you're out of luck. There is a chance Valve will do a plush toy as they have done with the Weighted Companion Cube and headcrab (those may do in place of Gnome Chompski!) – keep an eye on http://store.valvesoftware.com or their news page.

Alternatively, if your boyfriend likes Zero Punctuation (and who doesn't?), the Escapist store has an imp plushie for a more reasonable price (although I'm not sure about shipping). (http://www.splitreason.com/productdetail.php?id=789)

NB I am not affiliated with either Valve or The Escapist and I don't stand to gain financially from anyone who buys from there. Shame really, I could use the money!
