This is a custom song that was successfully imported into the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero III. Not the PC version, the Wii version, the PS2 version or the PS3 version. The Xbox 360 version!
This proves it is possible to import custom songs into Guitar Hero 3 for the Xbox 360. It is already possible and easy to import into the other versions (Excluding PS3, but who even has one of those?). This chart does not follow a specific instrument and follows the voice for most of the song, which I figured would be more fun to play.
There are some notable glitches in the import. There is a noticible drop in the Rock Meter at the end of the song, which is the result of "invisible" notes that don't count for points but still count as a miss. Also due to sync issues with the importing of an XMA file, the sound becomes badly desyncronized if the game was paused (which convieniently didn't happen in the video *Whew*). The other glitches were pretty obvious, like the menu screen still saying Slow Ride, and preview song remaining unchanged. And because there is no chart for the other difficulties, the original Slow Ride notes remain but are about 300x normal speed (good luck FCing that... Seriously, I'd love to see a video..).
FAQ
-------
Q: Why did you play this and not just make the bot play it?
A: Because the bot went off to college and now doesn't call. That bastard.
Q: Why did you pick that song?
A: Why not? :P
Q: Is this just an elaborate attempt to Rick Roll people?
A: I don't know, did it work? Usually Rick Roll attempts admit it afterwords. They don't try to keep up the joke and insist the video was the Halo 4 Announcement Trailer after you've already watched it.
Q: Can you write a tutorial for importing custom songs?
A: That's not likely to happen, as that would require me getting of my lazy ass and writing one (see last video to find out what happens when I need to get off my lazy ass to do something).
Q: YOU SUCK AT GUITAR HERO!!11!one!! YOU DIDN'T FC THIS AND IT'S EASY!!111!eleven11(e^(2i*pi))!!1
A: The video was not to demonstrate skill at Guitar Hero. Plus you're ugly and you smell awful.
Q: THIS CHART ALSO SUCKS!!11!!11!
A: Again, not the point of the video. The chart doesn't match a real instrument for most of the song anyway, but it's still fun to play.
Q: Why did you modify Rick Roll?
A: The original Never Gonna Give You Up has a fade-out ending, which doesn't really work in Guitar Hero.
Q: Can I have a copy of this modified Rick Roll / The chart file?
A: Sure. Here's a download link for both of them:

Q: THIS VIDEO IS FAKE! I CAN SEE THE PIXELS!
A: No, it's not. Even though I'm sure you're a licensed Forensic Video Analysist who can CLEARLY see how this video was faked using elaborate props and a rock tied to a stick, but I assure you I did it the real way. If you'd like further proof, see the next question. (I await a conspiracy theory regarding how I faked this. Probably has something to do with that rock with a 'C' on it...)
Q: Can I get a copy of this mod?
A: Sure, why not. Here is a ppf for the iso of the game:
http://tinyurl.com/5oc3br . If you don't know what a ppf and iso are, then this mod isn't for you. You will need an Xbox with a modded DVD drive, and no I won't help you with that. Also, if you do use this mod, KEEP OFF XBOX LIVE. Seriously, Microsoft can detect this mod and will (and should) ban you if you use it online. Also, it offers no cheating advantage and just ruins the experience for everyone else.
