We’ve seen some of the patterns for solo sections (for example during Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher) and they areterrifying. Bass players now have to deal with “open” notes (played without holding down a fret) as well as the potential to play slap bass, while guitarists now have to be prepared for sections that will be near impossible without using sliding or tapping techniques. As a result of these tiny changes, playing guitar and bass at higher levels is a little less ‘pick up and play’ than it has been in the Guitar Hero series before. The wireless guitar hasn’t been left out of things either, featuring a new Star Power button, and the big addition of a touch slider for slide guitar and two-handed tapping.

Judy Nails was treated worst, given a makeover that the whore of Babylon would have turned down as “a bit much”, but Neversoft have owned up to their mistake and returned Judy to her alternative rock roots. If there was one thing that made Guitar Hero III a less popular pick than almost anything else over at our house whenever we had people round for some rocking out, it was the utterly diabolical character redesigns.
