Playing GH:Metallica, I noticed some of the Metallica songs that were featured in other GH games were actually made easier in the GH:Metallica versions. One being an example. The "machine gun riff" was made substantially easier by changing the 3-note chords into 2-note chords (in Expert mode guitar). Also, the game did contain one "innovation", if you want to call it that. The last chord in Master of Puppets is a *four note chord* (in Expert mode guitar). As far as I know, that is the first and only such chord in an official Guitar Hero chart. Also it is the first of the GH/RB franchise(s) to feature a frontman who both plays guitar and sings. Rock Band: Beatles will surely be the second.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1644','dowingba'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Oh, I forgot to mention.

They aren't exactly easy to master you know. Unless you are doing really fast foot-work the second pedal is unnecessary. I guess I just don't understand what you would plan on doing with it in difficulty levels lower than Expert. PS: Ever notice how Infamous contains swearing and still keeps its T rating? Why can't these rhythm games do the same? I remember how utterly disappointed I was when Guitar Hero 2 censored Killing in the Name. I figured Harmonix were cool enough to leave the bad words in.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1643','dowingba'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Have you ever used a double bass pedal?
