My son was asking for a guitar game that was close to this, but more expensive. I couldn't really afford it at the time. So I was searching for something close, when I saw the Power Tour Guitar on sale. I decided it would be close enough to what he wanted.It is made to look and sound like a real Gibson guitar. I have no experiance with them, so I'm not really sure how close that is to b...

If you've played one or more of the previous Guitar Hero games, and you're wondering just how great the latest sequel is. Or perhaps you've never played Guitar Hero, and you need to know if you can simply jump into the newest version without having played the first two. Either way, I can say it is definitely worth it to go straight to your local video game store and buy this game. A...

The magazine normally includes a few tabs, lessons or playing tips and is a pretty decent length.There is also an included CD with interviews and lesson/tips for playing popular songs. The CD is a great addition, because when le...

Coming from a family that has almost as many musicians as it does entrepreneurs, means that naturally I have a strong interest in music and instruments.  My father was an avid collector of guitars but not for the value they could bring dollar-wise, but the value they could bring musically.  He frequently played his guitars at family gatherings and cared for them as though they were al...

Guitar Hero II is the sequel to the guitar-sim game, Guitar Hero. Now available for Xbox 360, users can play online with anyone. Guitar Hero II is MUCH better then the first game. The first difference is the hammer-on / pull-off system. It is much easier compared to the first game but the songs themselves got harder. This game's tracklist is VERY good, featuring some of your favorite rock band'...

Guitar Hero III is the third installment of RedOctane's popular Guitar Hero series. Unlike Guitar Hero I & II, GH3 was not created by Harmonix. Instead, RedOctane and Activision have tried to fill their shoes and (maybe it's because my expectations were low seeing as how a new developer was taking over), I was quite impressed. Although not an incredibly difficult formula to re-creat...

At first I kind of didn't want it the price of it was up to almost 100 bucks by time new york sales tax rolled in. However I am glad I decided to bite the bullet and purchase it. First off the Guitar  Controller is something new to me and yet what drew me to the game in the first place. Being a metalhead you know what we like hard rock. heavy metal etc. etc. I said to myself that this ...

Guitar Hero 4 is an exciting game that can get very addictive if you are a fan of many types of music. The new instruments included into the game are very fun to use espacially to the drum set.  Although the signal to the drum set though can be interupted very easily by a small object or someone passing by. The vocals are very accurate and can detect even the slightest blip of sound you ma...

My Brother used this and practiced with it while he tried out his new game. Incredibly annoying but i got used to the drums and actually enjoy using and playing them. I'm begining to like the music because there is a much bigger variety of music and plus most of them are actually desgned to to blow out your eardrums. The Guitar itself is well much more sophisticated because it has a fingerb...

I inherited this acoustic guitar when my brother went away to university, and one day I decided to pick it up and try to learn it. That was four years ago, and it still works like a charm, the strings only having been replaced once.The Yamaha acoustic guitar is a lovely entry-level acoustic guitar with no unnecessary bells and whistles. It is strong and sturdy and sounds very nice. In its lifet...

I've enjoyed the Guitar Hero franchise quite a bit, but the latest incarnation is obviously a quick cash-in attempt.  This entry includes 30 songs from the 80s (one of which is technically an homage, not really an 80s classic), a good number of which are original studio tracks, not covers.  Unfortunately, "80s" lacks any bonus songs compared to its predecessors...

Guitar Hero III is the latest installment in the Guitar Hero franchise. This time around it's available for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS2, and PS3. I picked up the Xbox 360 version. Included is a brand new guitar - a Les Paul. This guitar is leaps and bounds in terms of quality with the previous ones. They all come wireless, and have some great features like a removable neck, face plates, and...

I recieved this tuner for free about 8 years ago when I got my first guitar and have been using it ever since. It's a relatively low-end tuner, but it will work perfectly for a beginning or intermediate player.  It's lot an LED screen with a needle that moves back and forth depending on how sharp or flat your note is.  This tuner automatically knows which string you'r...

Guitar Hero II is one of the most outstanding music games to ever come out for any system. It takes a theme that matches very well with the guitar, Rock and Roll, and incorporates it into a well-orchestrated game. Moreover, the guitar controller is simple to use and really gets you into the game much better than a Dual Shock 2 controller could.The selection of songs you must play to get through...

The Yamaha Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, has a solid spruce top, rosewook bridge and diecast tuners. It has a natural finish to it and plays great.I have a couple of other acoustics, that cost a lot more than this Yamaha; yet, it is this one I pick at and play the most. I like the action in this Dreadnought. It does not fall out of tune on me when I play and sounds better than my higher end acou...

First Act guitars are available in two levels, professional grade and student grade.  The model that I bought my son is the student grade.  It is a reasonably affordable guitar available at Walmart.  The body and neck are well made.  The body has a nice single cutaway design.  The neck has a flat radius with twenty one frets.  This model has one humbucker pickup wi...

The game that started the entire craze of music games.  When this game came out I was amazed at how fun it was. It was like DDR, EXCEPT WITH GUITAR! This game is always fun whether you're 10 or 50. This game combines the fun of good music, with the fun of playstation. The controller that comes with it is very easy to use.  The only problem I have with the controller is that if som...

Guitar Hero III is the latest installment of the Guitar Hero series. Some things have changed with Guitar Hero; the game is no longer being developed by the rhythm game masters Harmonix. Neversoft is now at the helm of Guitar Hero III. To be honest I was a little disappointed with Guitar Hero III, the game just felt a little off to me. It is still fun to play, but it had the potential to be a...
