 For guitar hero enthusiast only! October 25, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although I gave this product 5 stars, that is only because I am a guitar hero fan and think the book is a good item to go with my guitar hero collection. However, the only value I found to this book is the tabs for all 40 songs on expert plus the famous jordan by buckethead. I do find the tab feature helpful because songs such as jordan, even on the slowest training speed can be pretty hard at first. So reading the tabs, you can slow it down as much as you want. Other than that, this book is useless and not worth buying.
 Where's the Strategy? August 7, 2007

How do I master hammer-ons & pull-ofs? How do I progress from Medium to Hard or Hard to Expert? What is the best strategy for mastering the tricky parts of various songs? When is the best time to activate Star Power for maximum score?
None of these strategy questions are answered by this guide! In fact the majority of the guide is taken up with diagrams of all songs on Expert mode. I don't know if they're accurate or helpful because I'm not there yet.
There are some interviews and articles that might be entertaining to read, but the font is about 4 point and looks like it was made with a typewriter that needs a new ribbon, so I gave up trying to read them.
Save your money and skip this guide!

Seriously, who buys a guide book to a friggin' music game?! you don't learn to beat the songs with that thing! You:
1. Actually play the songs more than twice,
2. listen to the actual versions of the songs to predict where the frets might be, or,
3. JUST TRY!
You don't buy guidebooks for games like these. You get them for games like WoW or Runescape or Halo or any other game with gameplay that varies besides strumming furiously. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

This book is as entertaining as Guitar Hero 2 is. There is one thing this guide did not do: It did not help me improve my Guitar Hero skill.

There are very few great music games that've really thrived like Guitar hero has done for the Playstation 2. Yet, with all the hype, a sequel had to be in the works. Nevertheless, for those who have sought for an easy graph of each of the cheats for Guitar Hero II, they can find it in this book. This guide helps you look at what the actual graphs and motions of each song in the game like Guns & Roses 1988 hit Sweet Child Of Mine. The book also gives you neat details on how to unlock songs and special modes within the game. If you have the game for the Playstation 2, or just bought the PS3 and this game, you'll definitely rock on with this guide.
