Last Friday I took my first shot at doing Guitar Hero on medium. Although, [livejournal.com profile] kamalloy is still definitely better than me (she consistently has higher notes hit percentage) at least when we play at the same level. It was fun, although I've found that my pinky doesn't tend to be that useful, instead I just slide my hand up and down when I need to hit the blue buttons. I think as a lefty there are actually some advantages to using the guitar like a righty does. Much of the complexity comes from handling the frets and I've got my more dexterous hand on the job.

First big perk of medium: buying a Freezepop song. I'd only heard of them because of [livejournal.com profile] lilinthra but even so I like the group.

At some point I'll get my own copy of the game so I don't only play on [livejournal.com profile] kamalloy's equipment. For now I'm going to be cheap though.

If I get good enough at Guitar Hero I may also try out DDR again. I really suck at that game because my rhythm is awful.

I'm curious as to whether people primarily keep four fingers on the buttons or use three and slide. There's probably a suggested method in the tutorials, but I never let things like that influence me. ;p Either way, I need to practice how to handle the fourth key.

I use four fingers, unless I have to hit red and blue at the same time, then I slide because it's physically impossible for me to hit those two without hitting the yellow button as well.

I'm a four-finger man myself. Depending on the song, sliding can get a bit disortienting so I like to keep as home position. Once you hit Hard though, you have to slide given the orange button.
