Since I finally got my hands on Guitar Hero II for my 360, I now understand why there are so many videos of people playing songs on Expert, and what the big deal is. I always found it impressive, but now I think it's astounding. Last night I just finished "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" by Spinal Tap on the Hard difficulty setting in my career. I'm finding Hard quite the challenge at times, which is good, I guess. I hate games that are simply too easy. When I first started Medium, I thought that was a bit of a challenge at times too. So I guess i'll master Hard soon enough, just like I did with Medium. But Expert just looks horrible. I dread (and also look forward to) the day where I begin my Expert career after completion of Hard.

Last night, I also received the achievement for getting 5 stars on all the career songs on Easy. That was just a breeze to get through, but then I sat and thought back to a few days ago when I actually found some parts on these songs quite the workout.

Lingxor, if you're reading this...I now truely appreciate your talents at Guitar Hero, and the training you went through to complete "Bark At The Moon" on Expert. You are now (temporarily) my idol.
