Guitar Hero Songs Played on Expert

Written By: Jaclyn Popola

When my little brother (okay so he's fifteen, he will still always be my little baby) got "Guitar Hero II" and matching wireless guitar controller for PlayStation2 for Christmas, I couldn't understand what he was so excited about. Though I am a long-time player of "Dance Dance Revolution", I never gave notice to any other games that couldn't be played with a standard handheld controller. He hooked it up that afternoon and played his new game in front of me for months. I barely batted an eye until one boring winter day when I suddenly said, "Hey, let me try." Oh my God I was hooked instantly. I went out and bought my own the very next weekend.

After seeing him successfully complete several complicated songs while in Expert mode, I was beyond freaking impressed. Then he told me that if I wanted to see real talent, talent that far surpassed his own, I should watch these clips.

To give props to real life guitar players as well, here is an amazing video of a teenager playing the same song ("Canon Rock") on an electric guitar.
