i started playing GH after playing guitar so this may be a little biased but i think everyone can agree that its definitely wrong to lable certain songs as guitar hero songs, unless the song was written for GH

And both GH and guitar are fine as i play both, they just should not be intertwined, the concept of trying to hit circles on a line at high speeds is a fun videogame and i would play it even if it werent guitar themed

”How to Play Guitar Hero Songs on Electric Guitar” WTF…guitar hero songs…freakin idiots there are no such things like guitar hero songs…fuck stupid games take a real guitar in your hands like this guy does…GH sucks

@azaurus you’re right: the original is played in parallel fourths. BUT: you do realize that parallel fourths are just inverted powerchords? he’s playing the SAME NOTES, trying to make it easier for the kids. as lexo30 said: theoretically, this makes a difference but i don’t think the people who want “to play guitar hero on a real guitar” don’t care about this. he actually does simplifications like these for several songs. and i think ritchie blackmore would be OK with that

do u need a pick to play a guitar

How do you play guitar and not know how to properly play Smoke on the Water? For shame!

I guess you’re going for a lot and useless rather for less and helpfull.

@azaurus depends of your drop dude

what amp are you using?

this guy must be so pissed to have to do all these videos in like a day or two.

coolllllllll ;}] man

you dont NEED to learn smoke on the water.

@azaurus You’re dead right. If you want to play it like Blackmore played it, it’s parallel fourths – in classical theory terms it’s a second inversion of the tonic chord but you leave out the mediant. The dominant should be lower than the root; Blackmore relied on Lord’s organ and Glover’s crunch bass to hold down the root.

Thanks alot mate! it worked for me! I <3 u non gay

you all the how they do it at expertvillage they introduce who they are then they go slide here up down 3 4 fret half down step up square x traingle circle then you got smoke on the water cheat on ps2 lol

you know its hard to see wiht the captions right in the middle lol i dont if anybody notices that lol

i can do it all on the E string

on the middle strings try -0-3-5-0-3-6-5

@azaurus what are parallel fourths?

this fuckin guy

“It’s really simple, it’s two finger power chords”… Ritchie Blackmore would rape him…
It’s supposed to be played using parallel fourths, not power-chords.

theres easier ways to play it

word of device if u play it on ur index finger it makes it a lot easer

Thats not how you do it, I have proof, Ill make a video

easy!!!
