That's backwards. You should "pluck" with your right hand and "finger" on the fretboard with your left hand. That's how proper guitars work (unless you buy a left handed version ).

As for coordination - it's all about practice

Thought it must be, but just seems easier that way. I can see why it makes sense on a real guitar but for this it seems a waste of natural hand to just strum with it (oo-er).

Got an extra achievement for doing it lefty though Loving the game so far, but still can't get 'Woman' out of my head, damn you Wolfmother

Can you get it to display the band name as well as the song titles on the menus ?

I'm trying to get past Guns&Roses "Sweet child of mine" on hard mode at the moment. Beginning to get a little frustrated now (after about the 90th attempt). I can't believe there's an even harder difficulty level above this one

Not that I've noticed so far...

Xbox Live's Major Nelson : GH II: Song Packs (3 of 'em)

A little expensive if you ask me.

I'm certainly pleased with my decision to buy GH1 and GH2 on the PS2. 120+ songs, including most of those downloadable ones for £64.

More than a little expensive if you ask me. Wouldn't seem so bad if the PS2 versions weren't so cheap by comparison...

Re the whammy fix guys........

It has been acknowledged that it is due to anti cheating software that sometimes reduces the sensitivity of the whammy. There is a patch via live on the way.

Don't know how this will effect people who have done the pot tweak to their guitars. Might need to move it back again.

To me that sounds like a load of bollys!
Why does this 'anti cheat' software only seem to affect one version of the guitar?
I bet all they've done is made the whammy detection super sensitive.

Been playing the PS2 version - anyone else think its quite a leap from medium to hard...
For me it could do with a level in between which keeps the same speed as medium but just adds the 5th note... That speed increase and the extra note is giving me grief !

True, it's definitely a fair bit harder. Some of those guitar solos are just silly
