I'm almost done on Hard - Phsychobilly Freakout was killing me. I have 4 songs to go before Expert (I've actually already done 2 songs on Expert).
I have not mastered Hammer-ons and Pull-offs, which I know is hurting me. And I can not get used to up and down strumming for the sixteenth and 32nd notes, so I am suffering on those trying to hit them all by only strumming down. The other downfall of only strumming down is I get cramped up in my forearm.

I just finished the game on Hard- redoing it on Expert. Some of those really fast passages (Misirlou, Freebird, etc) get a little hairy, but I 5-starred every song on hard except for Freebird and a couple others (4 stars on those).
What a great game. You really get into it after playing for a while.

yeah, once anyone starts playing on hard/expert, you get addicted.
I finaly beat freebird on expert, and I 5 starred everything on hard except for psychobilly
freakout. I just can't 5 star that song.

i actually just beat the game on expert.
i beat hangar 18 and could not pass freebird, so i was going to try a different song and i accidentally selected freebird again. i was like "its a sign!" and i actually beat it that time.
so now im working on four/five starring the expert songs.
jdport, wow you fivestarred all the expert songs? thats awesome. thats funny becaue ive actually beaten jordan on expert but i have 5-starred very few expert songs.

GH2 was the first one I played. I've had it probably a month and a half.
It took a couple of days till I was consistantly playing on hard, I went through that pretty easily and went to expert next. I got stuck at a couple of songs on expert but wasnt' too bad. Only two that stumped me for more than a couple of tries were Hanger 18 and Freebird.
I have a music background playing clarinet through college so I think that probably helps a little(though, I do know some friends who have similar experiences but can't play GH at all).
I think it is a good mix of music background(for rhythm) and gaming in general(for dual hand coordination)

I've 5-starred all of medium except for "Institutionalized" and I've beaten all of hard except for "Carry Me Home" (and subsequently "Freebird"). There's one particular technique that I just can't get down that kills me on every song, whenever I have to alternate back and forth between two notes for 10+ times I always get off the beat and get all screwed up. Other than that I think I'm ready for Expert (I've beaten like 8-9 songs on Expert so far).
New question: You guys that are talking about 5-starring Expert songs, did your Guitar Hero experience start with 2 or did you play the original for PS2? Just wondering and hoping for an excuse as to why I'm progressing slower.
