Guitar Hero: Mason Williams - Classical Gas

My chart for Classical Gas. Terrible, terrible run, so I just put the original recording over it so it was easier on the ears.

Is it just me or is this piece easier to play in real life than on guitar hero?lol

[AlexLeff]

It's just you.

[twinklewonderkid91]

Or maybe I just rock at real guitar

[AlexLeff]

Maybe you do. It's still much easier to learn to do this on guitar hero than to learn to finger-pick this song well.

[PiPwns]

i dont think you played that bad at all

[AlexLeff]

Yea but since it's an all-guitar song, when I missed the whole song just cut out. It sounded pretty bad, trust me.

[ChRIs23696]

dude i can play this on classic guitar without even trying but ooking at all thosenotes on guitar hero just makes me dizzy i find normal guitar muc easier than guitar hero

[TheHackerYouKnow]

@twinklewonderkid91 It's true guitar hero makes songs look like there the hardest things in the world. I mean c'mon? "Through the Fire and Flames" is considered the hardest song on GH but when in reality the song on a 6 string is not that difficult.

@TheHackerYouKnow I actually spent about the same amount of time preparing it for an examination. I just think guitar hero has a tendency to either vastly under or over estimate the difficulty of songs. I can play Satch Boogie to but the guitar hero version just completely messes me up. From talking to people I've just tended to find that guitarist aren't brilliant at guitar hero.

@twinklewonderkid91 It took me a full year to learn this wonderful piece with no flaws what so ever and to sync perfectly with the school band. Playing this on guitar hero looks too easy

[TheBubbaBomb]

Thank you for not putting the messing up scratches that happen on guitar hero when you mess up. :P and the sound quality is good while the video quality lacks the quality so I appreciate you taking the time to cover the guitar hero song with the other version instead of hearing all the clanks and scratches from guitar hero.

[GuitarHeroSkara]

Hey! Can you send me this chart? :)

@twinklewonderkid91 i see what you mean, when the piece gets to the A section it has that triplet, on the guitar it is between the index finger and open string, but here it is ring finger and pinky (bad combination) so in some ways yes and some ways no, thats how this game is

[BartXZX]

@twinklewonderkid91 This song is underestimated in it's difficulty on the guitar. The timing and all is damn difficult :)

[trevormclink]

its better on real :P

I guess basically what I'm saying is that the two activities require completely different skillsets that don't overlap in any way at all, and it's downright idiotic to think there's a comparison to be made beyond "music is playing in both instances". Guitar Hero is nothing more than a glorified PaRappa the Rapper with a plastic guitar that has less buttons. I find this debate to be ridiculous both as a real guitar player and a real gamer (that's right I said it).
