should be in guitar hero 2 though, agreed
This is weird. It looks as if that dude arranged it and recorded it first, but I swear there are points in that video where his hand position on the fret doesn't match up with what's being played. I'm not talking a slight delay caused by encoding, I mean that he doesn't seem to be anywhere near the right fret. Maybe its just the angle and the crappy quality of Youtube. How many frets does that Strat have? Looks like the Red Special is 23. Maybe that's what I'm seeing, is just the difference in neck length.

I havent played much guitar but I was thinking the same thing, thought it was just a shitty dub though

probably a fret difference, but I don't play guitar, so I dunno

this kid (Jerry C) has been doing this for awhile, and I don't think anyone has ever questioned him. Check these out:

enjoy


EDIT: Here's a video of him playing it on a TV Show - he starts playing at the 2:20 mark:

no time to watch at the moment but unless he's playing something high up the fretboard on the high e string, whatever note it is can be played in a number of other places most likely...that's not even counting octaves

Honestly, the youtube video is of crappy enough quality where you can't really tell. I'm just gonna chalk up any weirdness to that.

ah missed the edit.
:cool:

the hardest part was watching the first part of the video; it's just 3 pretty boy asians talking in a foreign language - probably about hair products :rolleyes:
