Guitar Hero Custom - Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain

[tjittosz]

1:41 Is a guitar solo..

[gurumaster89]

acid raaain some stay dry but others feel the pain XD

[norgesnus]

Hahahahaha

[Yukabron]

The last part of the song is played by the chapman stick, not by the guitar, no final guitar solo :(

[rissx]

this chart doesnt do this awesome song justice at all. this song properly would be in dragonforce / jordan air of difficulty level

[ShinerCCC]

Search for cosmic pope acid rain, that chart does this track justice ;)

[reddysn33blet]

2:48 is epic! i love this song

[SynisterSir]

Uhh, during the crazy drum and keyboard solo, there's also a tap solo.

[drawman3354]

that's a guitar solo at 1:41...I was looking forward to it too. :(

[tpstar]

I think its a keyboard solo, not sure if pettruci plays it live but i'm certain its a rudess solo.

[SlinkyMushrooms]

Pettruci doesn't play it. I've watched some live videos of acid rain and it's a keyboard solo, not guitar.

[skotous]

@SlinkyMushrooms i think they are playing along keyboards and guitar...

[Lambardo665]

l2play guitar hero.

[kyle21843]

aw no solo? :(

[Razor7343]

I love the keyboard in this song.

[inthefle]

Not a good custom song.

[RichardKohl]

..Isn't this Dream Theater?

[lostfacts]

no it s a side project by Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci, I think. (drummer and guitarist of DT)

[Scrotolotopus]

And don't forget Jordan Rudess! Plus, Tony Levin on bass/Chapman's Stick.

[weonweon1]

no it is liquid tension experiment, a super band

mike portnoy - drums

petrucci - guitar

rudese - keyboard

tony levin (king crimson) - bass

[AudunYT]

Acid Rain is on Live Scenes From New York, so I can see why you'd think that it's Dream Theater :)

[DanielHoward777]

awsome but you should have done the solo at 1:45

[PhantomSocke]

pfh. go and play a real guitar.

[SKETCHi09]

I'm so sick of everyone replying with this same crap. When someone is good a Street Fighter, you don't tell them to go learn real martial arts.

This is just a game. If you're not interested in the game, you have no business being here.

Anyway, awesome chart and awesome band.

[DanielHoward777]

shame it was only a side project :(

[xXGuitarherosheroXx]

How can i say this...This is a REALLY bad chart. Have you seen the tab for this song? Nope...Didn't think so. Im re making this for customhero. And yes i believe they are finally going to start up again.

[badchaddd]

Ill agree with you that this is a bad chart, but its not REALLY bad. And tabs dont need to be used to make good accurate charts. Ive made quite a few charts so far and havent used tabs for a single one and probley never will.

[xXGuitarherosheroXx]

Yes, but to make a professional chart, you need tabs. Thats the only way to make a chart just like the real guitar. I used to make my charts without tabs. I got rid of every single one because they were horrible. Mine are 100% now. But yes. You dont need a tab to make a good chart.

[Jeran3442]

at 1:29 Should have done the solo. Not the chords.

[xXGuitarherosheroXx]

Actually no. Its on a keyboard. Even i didnt chart it haha. Ill chart it for rhythm though =]

[facetheslayer9]

/watch?v=FqcJ8ECPPK4&feature=r­elated

nope, if you watch them doing it live, you'll clearly see Petrucci doing the solo along with they keyboard in perfect synchronization.

[Mujahadeen49]

You understand that five plastic buttons and the order in which they are hit is the question here, right? I don't understand how anything for GH like this can be considered "accurate." There's no such thing.

[xXGuitarherosheroXx]

Usually there are a few good ways to chart some parts. This is not right at all. I am a professional charter. I know what I'm talking about. This guy apparently didn't use a chart or he had a really bad one. I make my charts feel like your playing the real thing. And only good charters can be accurate.

[frisboneross]

Hahahahahaha I love how you just called yourself a professional charter. As if charting guitar hero songs is an paid occupation.

[plu48]

frisboneross: Uh, how do you think the official game charts got there? Because someone was paid to make the charts.

[frisboneross]

Cause xXGuitarherosheroXx totally works for the company making guitar hero charts... I just find it funny that some kids who make their own custom charts consider their "work" professional. Making your own charts is a fun hobby I have to admit, but no more than that.

[plu48]

Sure, for most people it is just a hobby, but a lot of good charters from SH have been recruited by Neversoft/Harmonix to create the official charts. I can't speak for xXetcXx's charts because I don't know his charts, I was just pointing out that it can turn out to be a "paid occupation" if you're especially good.

[xXGuitarherosheroXx]

My early work I have to admit is not that good, but my most recent work is 100%. I consider it as good as if it were professionally made. Possibly even better then if Neversoft/Harmonix made it. And I know for a fact that I could damn well get a job charting official songs but I have given up that. I have bigger plans now.

[Bendy218]

Great chart. 5/5

[Chrisakacloud]

Good job except for at 5:52 is John and Jordan playing that awesome riff I just watched the vid and it is definitely those two playing it rather than the chords you put in but good job! we all make mistakes

[sharxsxd]

xD!

[Furiabr3]

Faltou notas e a guitarra está atasada

[awsomeAwsomeness]

what is this? the rhythm version. there were solos in this that i didnt get to play. wtf.

[PhantomDarkTheif]

ok this is a good start, but there are way more places to put notes. for example, from 1:40 to 2:00, John playes all those notes that you think r only played by Jordan. i've seen them live for the reunion tour so i know. great show.

[PhantomDarkTheif]

they just have a steady kick on each beat (since its 6/4 time, it'd be on each quarter note) and then do like fills all away around the drums or single notes for each head change. not too complicated.

[soocool78]

ok why didnt u play the guitar/keyboard unison part at 1:40.....a alot of ppl tell me that its only keyboard...but thats not true, i saw them live, JP played it

[PimpMasterT]

yeah, if he added it, it would have made jordan look easy :P im not a guitarist but from what i've heard, jordan is easy cuz its all "tapping"

n e way still would've been even more kickass xD

[V3770]

wow thats awsome!!!

[TheCatDarkness]

NICE!!!!!!

[FiatObscuritas]

why didn't you put the original sound of the game?

[Comrax]

de+ cargao xD

[habilero]

tubo bien pero en la mita y en el final te ekivocaste mucho el puntaje para mi es un :8,50 (ocho 50)

[ledzeppelin7510]

the bassist is different too

[Sonicboomx]

Its sounds like dream theater...funny I thought this song was by them, it sound alot like em

[Arekkusu5]

It is the same people as dream theater. It has everyone but the singer in it.

[metalhead1800]

actually Tony Levin of King Crimson is the bassist and at the time this album was recorded Derek Sherinian was still in Dream Theater this is what made Jordan Rudess a member of Dream Theater

[HybridBox]

Nice, I didnt know that was the cause of Rudess becoming a member of DT, thank you very much n_n

[metalhead1800]

np mann If your a big fan of DT you should read Lifting Shadows the Authorized Biography of Dream Theater. Its how I know all that stuff about them. Trust me its a great read.

[metallica910]

doesn't have the bassist (John Myung), and at the time, Jordan Ruddess wasn't in Dream Theater yet.

[Beadbud5000]

I believe Rudeness started with dream Theater also in 1999... maybe? I am not sure

[PhantomDarkTheif]

yeah jordan was asked to join DT after doing the LTE tours for the 2 years that they put out stuff. i really hope they do a 15th anniversary tour, cause they 10th was a beast.

[Connexion009]

Which show were you at? I was at the Chicago one.

[R2Gsavior]

bad chart...

you just charted it in rythym and only charted few leads...

wish it was all lead so theres a hard part like the solo...

tsk...

[JonnyBa7x]

the lead woulda been to hard to chart at that partim guessing haha, i thought it was pretty good though

[triviummusician]

kinda bad chart...

[DFLGW]

the solo after the keyboard is guitar.. after the silence chords, there is a guitar solo, but the chart decided to do the rythem instead of the lead.. pitty.

[weraslolreeee]

Bad chart.

[blackbum7]

I LOVE THIS

black man super approves -thumbs up w/ standing ovation-

[Brrc509]

does anyone know if this is supposed to be in GH4? I googled GH4 setlist and saw this in the final tier but it could have been a fake setlist

[Spazman173]

It was probably fake, but that would be fucking awesome if it was in there.

Word has it there will be some DT in GH4 and Rockband 2 though.

[BFMVTEARSdontFALL1]

awsome

[Koshugan]

Looks like the only reason he's getting hate for a bad chart is that he does it like Rock Band, where you don't play the parts that sound like a guitar, but you just play the guitar. 'Cause yeah, there's a synth in there.

All I know is I can't complain because I can't do any better.

[Koshugan]

Let's just throw this in there to avoid getting hate for no reason:

What I mean is that as long as I can hear a guitar playing the notes he's got going and it sounds right to me, it's good enough.

[Marxious]

I can honestly say this is the worst chart I've ever seen

[chicken6111]

lol i know. its a fucking instrumental, but u didnt chart the solos.

ghey...

[Spazman173]

One of the solos is the keyboard.

[Goku313]

*Clap Clap* :)

[cabmill]

Yeah, some Petrucci's solos are missing

Awesome arrangement any way

[destructiondragon]

you know what would be more fun , to play the music for real, instead of playing in the grandma's basement in front of the tv.

[fuckayt]

And what do you tell people who play simulationgames? Go play God instead?

What do you tell people who play FPS games? Go join the army?

What do you tell people who play RST games? Go collect your personal army and send 'em off to bash people in the head?

Seriously.. stfu.

[Crimeboss2]

the guitarist and pianist are the best in the world for liquid tension. and theyre in the same band. effing awesome group

[jimrat92]

just for the record the 2 solos are on the guitar not keyboard.

[saxev2005]

the guitar part at 1:41 should have reflected the solo part, not the rhythm part....woulda made it more fun...

[NE0KRATOS]

BEST SONG EVER ! THANKS 4 THE UPLOAD !!! (I like Sidology 2 Trinity too =) )

[Lolxd122]

Nice Chart, Bad Player

[omjurmom96]

omj thats crazy man this should be the jordan/through the fire and flames of gh4 dude

[chino04ar]

esto es una mentira yo lo jugue todo y nadie juega mejor que yo. es imposible .

[yackleberry]

Not charting the two solos is just lazy. Besides that, the chart is well done.

[Wedigar]

Maybe because the 2 solos were played on a keyboard?

[TehFix0r]

Nice chart; I'm just upset that the two awesome solos were left out :(

[SemphasNecros]

can customs songs only be written for Xbox360? if possible in Wii or PS2 please help me out!!!

[LightningTrident]

I'm pretty sure there only playable through PC and PS2. it doesn't work on Xbox 360 or Wii

[t3hgir]

1:43 to 1:54 is a guitar part.

[agentpissant42]

Yeah... that was the only part I wanted to see... I'm almost mad now.

[phronesys]

Guitar part TOO. Dont insult us keyboardist xD

[t3hgir]

Well its harmonized :)

[blackfootsquirrel]

AMAZING

[patman0]

awesome nice job, wish i could play it

[dethlock33]

lmao those Are some insane chords...gotta try this one out

[HeroofTime55]

Played it on GH3, good job on this

[pansypwner]

AWESOME!

but you should be able to play the the ending keyboard solos. with out em, its to tiring...

[persini]

awesommmmmmmmm

[jewgler]

sick video,

to clear this up, at 1:40 is guitar definitely, maybe keyboard syncopation.

I have seen vids here on youtube of this song live, and it focused on the guitar only

[4514nj35u5]

Don't they play at the same time? They do that on a lot of Dream Theater songs (Metropolis comes to mind)

[xxbassdemonxx]

the guitar hero part isnt even covering the real guitar.

[Wedigar]

Yes it is, the later solos are keyboard.

[xxbassdemonxx]

at 00:51 that little run is done by keys, but is played by guitar on here. and at like 00:22 and 00:41ish those run downs are played by guitar and keys together and the guitar just stops.

[damianovix]

however... 4 keys never will compare with 7 strings and 24 notes per string that make 168 options.. i mean, it is a great game, but is like u guys are realy realy pruod showing a football game pretending u are a real sport player...

btw nice played

[pansypwner]

umm... isn't it 5 keys compared to 6 strings?

Guitars have 6 strings and Guitar Hero guitars have 5 buttons... right?

[damianovix]

yep, but the guitar hero guitar do NOT have any fret... there are just 5 keys... the real guitar have 22 (sometimes 24) frets PER string =)

.damianovix

[TheLiberator]

Guitar players and GH players aside, it's just a game. No need to start laying out facts that are readily available to us.

[balladechina212]

Lol at the whammying at 3:35.

[kakkoneone]

he did only what he wants to do

[LuffsMetul]

LOL, dude 1:40 is a guitar and keyboard sync part. good job anyway.

[Ghost2867]

no, at 1:40 it's not...it's a keyboard lead followed by a keyboard solo.

[Ghost2867]

Actually, let me correct myself...it's a keyboard lead followed by a guitar solo...:X

[LuffsMetul]

your mistaken, watch the live movies. 1:40 is a guitar and keyboard sync solo.

[Ghost2867]

I've seen several live videos...however, they focused on the keyboard at that part...could you perhaps provide me with a link if I'm mistaken?

[StrawberrySmelly]

This is fucking gay. why would he post that... Faggot.

[oopsxlandmine]

Blasphemy!.. go listen to your rap music you ignorant son of a bitch! John Petrucci is a God!

[XHiddenAnimeX]

yo...just wondering...why did you edit this for the song to play on top of the video instead of just having the audio in the original video?

[nightmarecinema33]

why are there still chords at 1:45? that is clearly a guitar lead.

[iammaxhailme]

Becuase the chart creator had mercy

[Anime3001]

That waz awsome!!! That is my favorite song!!!

[DavidWorley235552]

Great stuff!

i couldnt even keep up with my eyes..stuff trying to play it

[erickpainkiller]

were I can download that?

[bait9561]

lol they were clapping in 4/4 heh

[whitestripesftw]

Really well done, 5/5

Your sync was really on too.

[herala]

el wn seco XD

[petermenking]

wow u miss two major guitar solos, one u even have urself playing the bass rythm, that wasnt too great

[Arthur147258369]

it was the rythm of the "main guitar" ¬¬"

(my english ins't good"

[hrlysk8r69]

except for the guitar in the beginning and the end. it rocked

[Enanito01478]

Ehh...chart wasn't that great. 1:40-1:54 and 5:51-6:05 both should have been guitar parts instead of the looping tracks. I would probably download the chart and edit it to my pleasure though.

[dynelol]

that's up there with dragonforce.

[FromYourOwnBY]

Dragonforce doesn't even come close to this kind of music. Liquid Tension Experiment is made of 4 skilled musicians instead a chink who can play the guitar faster than anyone else. Big friggen deal. It doesn't sound any good when he plays.

[mixaone]

OMFG NICE =O=O=O=O=O

[soocool78]

nice job, though a lil disapointed u didnt play the guitar part in teh ebgining and the end (at around 5:55-6:06) not sure if that was piano or guitar but i always thaought t was guitar

[iammaxhailme]

That's definently keyboard...

[anubis462]

No, it's a unison between the keyboard and guitar.

There's 3 of them missing in this chart.
