INTRODUCTION [Intro] ------------------------- ------------------------- 1.1- About this Guide [About] ------------------------- If you clicked on this guide wondering, "What the heck is this guide about?", then this section is for you. If you already are familiar with Guitar Hero related terms, abbreviations and such, than feel free to skip onto the later sections. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The purpose of this guide is to help you figure out an order on how to get Full Combos. I am providing you with several options and lists so you can decide which list fits your skills the best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~FULL COMBO~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Basically, a full combo is when you hit 100 percent of the notes in a song without any extra strums. Simple enough, right? It is important to know that achieving 100 percent on a song is not the same as a full combo. It is very possible that if you are going for a full combo you will strum an extra time, while still hitting all the notes. This is not considered a full combo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~TERMINOLOGY USED IN THIS GUIDE~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. FC- When I use the abbreviation "FC", I am referring to the term Full Combo. If you are unsure of what a Full Combo is, read the above section of the guide. 2. HOPO- Refers to the term "Hammerons and Pulloffs". 3. Scorehero- Scorehero is the largest Guitar Hero fansite on the internet as of today. Thousands of people enter their scores and compete for dominance on the website (Scorehero.com). A moderator by the name of "Deimos" has created an official list of how many people have FCd certain songs. This is where the Scorehero FC list comes from. That should be all I'm using....everything else is pretty self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- 1.2- Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ] ------------------------- Here are some questions that a lot of people might have, or I have seen a lot of people ask. This is a handy section if you are what some refer to as a "noob". Q: I've FCd song X but can't FC song XX, even though song XX is higher on the FC List. Your guide fails! A:This is common. Some songs are easy to FC for some people while hard to FC for others. Take the list with a grain of salt. Q: I need help on FCing song X! Help! A: If you have already checked my tips and don't have the answer you are looking for, hit me up an email and I'll give you a more detailed walkthrough. Q: Why does your guide have so many punctuation and spelling errors? A: Ok so no one has asked this....but if you find any contact me! Q: Why isn't there a User FC list for easy? A: Since the majority of players looking for FCs are somewhat experienced, easy usually isn't that important. However, there is a Scorehero Statistic list for Easy, but it is not that accurate. This is because the majority of players on Scorehero can FC most Easy songs. Q: What is Scorehero? A: Scorehero is the largest Guitar Hero fansite on the internet as of today. Thousands of people enter their scores and compete for dominance on the website (Scorehero.com). A moderator by the name of "Deimos" has created an official list of how many people have FCd certain songs. This is where the Scorehero FC list comes from. Q: Are you planning on doing anymore guides? A: Maybe one day I will expand this guide so that it will include all the Guitar Hero games, but at the moment I am not sure how I would post that on GameFaqs. Q: I've FCd song X but I don't have the top score. Why? A: Much more goes into achieving a top score than just FCing it. This leads to the next section............ ____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- 1.3 Going Beyond Full Combos [GBFC] ------------------------- Ok, so you are getting pretty good at Guitar Hero and have a growing amount of FCs. When you go to check your scores on the leaderboard, you see that you have 4 millionth place on Closer. You say to yourself "Wait, didn't I Fc this?". You now go into shock and have a heart attack. Calm down! There is a reason you don't have a top score. If you want to improve your score, you can use the following techniques. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Star Power Paths ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arguably the most important thing you need while going for a good score is a Star Power path. A Star Power path is a set of instructions that tells you when to use Star Power. Not using one of these paths can result in your score not being as high due to the fact you are not using Star Power on the most point heavy parts of the songs. 1. Finding a Path: Finding a Star Power path is fairly easy, although I haven't seen many on Gamefaqs. They can be found under the "Starpower Path Discussion" on Scorehero.com. However, some of the paths posted on this site are nearly impossible to do, which is why I prefer the website www.bradleyzoo.com. This website allows you to choose which Star Power path you want to use, and this site has not failed me yet. 2. Reading a Path: In order to effectively use your new found path, you will have to know how to read one. Here I will give you an example of a No-Squeeze path, which is usually an easy path to pull off. Slow Ride Star Power Path: 2-2-3-2 Upon first glance you may not understand, but it's actually very simple to read this path. This means that you would have to activate star power for the first time after you achieve 2 star powers. For the next activation you would do the same. However, for the third activation, you would get three star powers and then activate star power. You would end the path by activating after 2 star powers. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as this. Sometimes you will have to wait before you activate star power. For an example, let's use the same path: 2-2-3-2 Activations: #1 From meas 19.3750 (GR note) to meas 24.6250 (GR note) #2 From meas 45.2814 (GR sust) to meas 50.3760 (RYO sust) #3 From meas 84.0000 (GYB note) to meas 91.3210 (GYB sust) #4 From meas 107.9990 (YB sust) to meas 113.0952 (GYB sust) If you are going for a close to optimal score, you will want to look at this information. Using this information, you will have to look at the notechart for the song to see where to activate. For example, for the first activation, you would get 2 starpowers, look for measure 19, and activate on the Green-Red chord. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Squeezing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be honest, I don't know much about squeezing, and can't do it myself. It is by far the most difficult skill in the game. However, I can give you a short explanation. Squeezing is when you activate your star power slightly late, and then play the last note in your star power activation slightly early. Its a hassle to pull off, but is necessary, if you want a first place score. Good luck on this, I haven't tried it too much, but it is somewhat commonly used. ____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- II.USER SUBMITTED FC LISTS [USERFC] ------------------------- ------------------------- 2.1- Medium FC List [USERMED] ------------------------- First off, I just want to say I have no opinion on this list. I don't know anything about Medium songs, because I have never played Medium on Guitar Hero 3. However, this is an accepted list taken off of Scorehero.com, and from an awesome guy named CDW01, so enjoy! ************************* Guitar Hero 3 FC Breakdown: Medium Contributor: Cdw01 (From scorehero.com) ************************* KEY: ~ = DLC Song ( DLC Songs available in PS3, or Xbox 360 only) * = Disagreement in Guide, look at bottom for my input 1.

Raining Blood: Mosh 1, Overall tough song 69. One: Killer Solo 70. Through the Fire and Flames: Yeah.. The Devil Went Down to Georgia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pavelboca's Comments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The Way It Ends- Seems a little high. If you can Alt-Strum this while not overstrumming, this song is really easy. It's tricky, but not too bad. *Knights of Cydonia- This may be a little higher up on the list if you play on the PS2. I know that on expert the lag can cause misses, so I am assuming it is the same for hard. ____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- 2.3- Expert FC List [EXPFC] ------------------------- So, you're looking for some new expert FC's and can't find out what to try for next.

+------------------------------------+----------+-------+-------+ ____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- Iv. Tier Breakdown FC List [TBFC] ------------------------- The Purpose of this section of the guide is too organize the FC List into one convenient and easy to read spot. Plus, it's easier to find the songs you want to look up due to the fact that you probably know where a song is relative to its tier. The rankings are based on the User lists, because to me it just makes more sense to use them. The Statistics are nice, but they don't always directly reflect the difficulty of the song. I am providing tips for the Expert difficulty for each song. Enjoy! ____________________________________________________________________________ ************************* Tier 1- starting Out Small ************************* _______________________ Song 1- Slow Ride Medium FC List Position: #9 Hard FC List Position: #8 Expert FC List Position: #9 Pavel's Tips: Pretty easy FC. Try not to choke the solo, because I have done it many, many times before I got the FC. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2- Talk Dirty to Me Medium FC List Position: #21 Hard FC List Position: #20 Expert FC List Position: #14 Pavel's Tips: For me, this was a very easy FC. If you mess up on the solo, take it into practice mode and it will slowly begin to click. If I were to make an FC List this would be lower. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3 - Hit Me With Your Best Shot Medium FC List Position: #16 Hard FC List Position #24 Expert FC List Position: #20 Pavel's Tips: The solo has some pretty fast trills and a confusing solo, but it's not that bad. Practice the trills and you should be fine. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - Story of My Life Medium FC List Position: #24 Hard FC List Position #22 Expert FC List Position: #18 Pavel's Tips: Try not to choke on this ridiculously long song. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Rock And Roll All Nite Medium FC List Position: #28 Hard FC List Position #35 Expert FC List Position: #46 Pavel's Tips: Wow, this solo is BRUTAL. There are a lot of random strums, so my only advice is take the solo into practice and hope you get lucky and hit all the random strums in a real run. _______________________ ************************* Tier 2- Your First Real Gig ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - Mississippi Queen Medium FC List Position: #17 Hard FC List Position #4 Expert FC List Position: #6 Pavel's Tips: Really, really easy FC. There is a part of the Strum that is a small scale that goes from yellow to green, and If I recall correctly the green is a strum. This is the only part I had trouble with. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2 - Schools Out Medium FC List Position: #10 Hard FC List Position #13 Expert FC List Position: #21 Pavel's Tips: Watch out for the solo. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3 - Sunshine of Your Love Medium FC List Position: #22 Hard FC List Position #2 Expert FC List Position: #16 Pavel's Tips: The outro may trip you up a bit, every thing else is super easy. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - Barracuda Medium FC List Position: #54 Hard FC List Position #40 Expert FC List Position: #28 Pavel's Tips: Gallops are tricky and the solo is very tricky. Watch out, and practice the trills in the solo. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Bulls on Parade Medium FC List Position: #18 Hard FC List Position #11 Expert FC List Position: #11 Pavel's Tips: The solo will probably trip you up the first couple times. Other than that really easy FC. _______________________ ************************* Tier 3- Making the Video ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - When You Were Young Medium FC List Position: #19 Hard FC List Position #3 Expert FC List Position: #3 Pavel's Tips: Easy song, no tough parts. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2 - Miss Murder Medium FC List Position: #11 Hard FC List Position #26 Expert FC List Position: #15 Pavel's Tips: Theyre are some fast strumming parts that are really tricky to get the rythym for. Practice those and you should be all set. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3- The Seeker Medium FC List Position: #43 Hard FC List Position #32 Expert FC List Position: #42 Pavel's Tips: Lots of fast strumming and chord changes make this song a real pain in the butt. If you can find the rythym for the strumming you should be able to fc the song, but its gonna be tough. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - Lay Down Medium FC List Position: #57 Hard FC List Position #17 Expert FC List Position: #13 Pavel's Tips: Theyre is a section in the solo with a lot of double notes. This is the only fairly difficult part of the song. Practice it before you go for the FC. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Paint it Black Medium FC List Position: #42 Hard FC List Position #33 Expert FC List Position: #27 Pavel's Tips: Somewhat difficult strumming bit in the solo. Don't let it surprise you like it did for me. _______________________ ************************* Tier 4- European Invasion ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - Paranoid Medium FC List Position: #26 Hard FC List Position #14 Expert FC List Position: #24 Pavel's Tips: Random strums in the solo are tough. All I can say is be able to anticipate the strums. In other words, practice. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2 - Anarchy in the U.K. Medium FC List Position: #55 Hard FC List Position #16 Expert FC List Position: #19 Pavel's Tips: Very easy song. If you can get the simple chord changes you can FC this. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3 - Kool Thing Medium FC List Position: #41 Hard FC List Position #19 Expert FC List Position: #36 Pavel's Tips: For the fast part, I alt-strum everything until the last yellow hold, which i downstrum. Every other part of the song is pretty easy. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - My Name Is Jonas Medium FC List Position: #3 Hard FC List Position #5 Expert FC List Position: #8 Pavel's Tips: The strumming gets fast for some parts of the song. Not FAST, but quick, just stay on your toes. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Even Flow Medium FC List Position: #20 Hard FC List Position #36 Expert FC List Position: #25 Pavel's Tips: The solo is pretty tough and it's hard not to choke this song. Practice the solo and verses. _______________________ ************************* Tier 5- Bighouse Blues ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - Holiday in Cambodia Medium FC List Position: #39 Hard FC List Position #45 Expert FC List Position: #61 Pavel's Tips: The intro to the song is really the only hard part, but it is very, very hard. The strumming is extremely fast and stuck in the middle of the Alt-strumming sections is small trills. Once you FC the intro though, the rest is cake. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2 - Rock You Like A Hurricane Medium FC List Position: #44 Hard FC List Position #46 Expert FC List Position: #56 Pavel's Tips: The Intro solo is really rough as is the second solo. Very tough song. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3 - Same Old Song and Dance Medium FC List Position: #49 Hard FC List Position #39 Expert FC List Position: #45 Pavel's Tips: This song is very tough, with some pretty fast trills that can prove to be very annoying to hit. On top of that, random strums throughout the song can easily screw you up if you dont know what to expect. Do yourself a favor and practice the last minute of the song, where one of the trills is waiting there to stop your FC. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - La Grange Medium FC List Position: #45 Hard FC List Position #28 Expert FC List Position: #33 Pavel's Tips: At least half of this song is a solo, so if you need work on your HOPOs then this is going to be a brutal FC for you. Once you get past the first group of solos, you should be safe because the second group of solos is a breeze. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Welcome to the Jungle Medium FC List Position: #30 Hard FC List Position #25 Expert FC List Position: #40 Pavel's Tips: A lot of people have problems with this song, mainly because their is not an easy part to the song. If you are going to practice one part of the song, practice Verse 3, as it trips up a lot of people. _______________________ ************************* Tier 6- The Hottest Band on Earth ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - Black Magic Woman Medium FC List Position: #62 Hard FC List Position #49 Expert FC List Position: #59 Pavel's Tips: The whole song is very easy until the fast alt-strumming orange section. This section will break your balls; over and over again. _______________________ _______________________ Song 2 - Cherub Rock Medium FC List Position: #61 Hard FC List Position #59 Expert FC List Position: #38 Pavel's Tips: Easy song except for the outro. _______________________ _______________________ Song 3 - Black Sunshine Medium FC List Position: #46 Hard FC List Position #50 Expert FC List Position: #55 Pavel's Tips: A tough song all around. The bits of strumming in some of the later parts of the song are extremely tricky, and the Breakdown, located towards the very8 end of the song, is a fast HOPO section that is also insanely hard to hit. _______________________ _______________________ Song 4 - The Metal Medium FC List Position: #29 Hard FC List Position #23 Expert FC List Position: #29 Pavel's Tips: The acoustic part is tricky and they're are some alt-strumming parts at the end that can mess you up. Not too tough. _______________________ _______________________ Song 5 - Pride and Joy Medium FC List Position: #56 Hard FC List Position #53 Expert FC List Position: #51 Pavel's Tips: This is a tricky song for sure. The song contains many fast and difficult trills and this song is only fcable if you practice. _______________________ ************************* Tier 7- Live in Japan ************************* _______________________ Song 1 - Before I Forget Medium FC List Position: #40 Hard FC List Position #52 Expert FC List Position: #43 Pavel's Tips: Ugh. What a terrible song. The whole song is overcharted and un-fun. Theyre are waaay too many 3 note chords, but if you can learn the chords then you have a good chance of fcing the song. Once you learn
the 3 note chords practice the bridge. Slide your
fingers for the bridge and you shouldn't have too much
of a problem.

Song 2 - Stricken
Medium FC List Position: #63
Hard FC List Position    #51
Expert FC List Position: #52

Pavel's Tips:
The three note chords in this song are actually not
that bad. However, the solo is VERY tough to Full Combo.
Once you can nail the solo the FC will come.

Song 3 - 3'7 and 7's
Medium FC List Position: #52
Hard FC List Position    #54
Expert FC List Position: #34

Pavel's Tips:
At first, this FC seems impossible. However, once 
you learn the 3 note chords which repeat throughout
the song the FC becomes very plausible. Not too tough.
_______________________

Song 4 - Knights of Cydonia
Medium FC List Position: #66
Hard FC List Position    #65
Expert FC List Position: #63

Pavel's Tips:
Several alt-strumming parts are scattered throughout
the song. Comboing the whole thing is very tough. 
Once you get past the alt-strumming sections, you still
have to deal with the ending which is a repetitive
repeating section which is extremeley easy to choke on.
Good luck.

Song 5 - Cult of Personality
Medium FC List Position: #59
Hard FC List Position    #47
Expert FC List Position: #60

Pavel's Tips:
Cult of Personality has two solos, both of which are very tough
to combo. The first is short and definetly easier to combo. 
A couple hours of practice and you'll be able to hit it. However,
the second solo is brutal, filled with very hard parts to hit.
Not to mention the solo is very long. Practice "Start Soloing!", 
and "Don't Stop Soloing!".

Tier 8- Battle for Your Soul
*************************

_______________________
Song 1 - Raining Blood
Medium FC List Position: #68
Hard FC List Position    #68
Expert FC List Position: #68

Pavel's Tips:
Ahh, Raining Blood. Many say that this is the hardest song
in the game next to Through The Fire and Flames. The song
opens up with some slow hold notes, but soon you will be 
introduced to some fast burst strumming. After this, you
are bombarded by possibly the scariest looking group of notes 
in the game, Mosh 1. Mosh 1 are groups of 4 notes that rain 
down on the screen at a break neck pace. I attempt to combo 
this beast by strumming the begining of each 4 note section.

After Mosh 1, you know have Verse 1. This section contains a 
lot of fast strumming followed by chords. Take this section 
into practice until it clicks. Believe me, this helped me ALOT
for this song.

The song then has some easy parts, until you get to the end 
which contains some of the fastest trills in the game. The
only way to combo this end section is tapping.
_______________________

_______________________
Song 2 - Cliffs of Dover
Medium FC List Position: #48
Hard FC List Position    #41
Expert FC List Position: #53

Pavel's Tips:
Intro Solo B is the toughest part of the song. This
section is also somewhere else during the solo, it's just
called another name. Once you have those 2 sections and the 
Outro, you've got the FC.
_______________________

_______________________
Song 3 - The Number of the Beast
Medium FC List Position: #67
Hard FC List Position    #66
Expert FC List Position: #64

Pavel's Tips:
This song is very tiring if you do not alt-strum, but very
hard to combo if you alt-strum. I perefer to try and mix it 
together and do both. Its not easy, but the first step to
comboing this song is being able to FC everything outside 
of the solo. Once you do that, concentrate on the solo.
_______________________

_______________________
Song 4 - One
Medium FC List Position: #69
Hard FC List Position    #69
Expert FC List Position: #69

Pavel's Tips:
One is the only song not to have been FC'd, because of it's 
insanely fast solo. Tapping is required, and on top of that
an elbow strum in the middle of the solo. Good luck.
