That’s ok, it was still fun looking back at the Guitar Hero games and assembling this list! Disagree? We’d love to see your lists!Īlthough not a very complicated song to play, Surrender is easily among the top played songs among Guitar Hero gamers. We have no doubt that we will leave off many songs that people feel should be on this list, and you could probably poll 100 different people and get 100 different “top 25’s”. So, what were the best guitar hero songs? Let’s find out… Especially with those friends who don’t play an instrument (yes, we have a few friends like that!) It is the closest thing to playing guitar that wasn’t actually playing guitar and a great way to spend time with friends and have fun. In addition to scoring points for hitting the correct notes, the harder songs incorporated things like hammer-ons, pull-offs and a whammy bar.Īll and all, this game was extremely fun and we played for countless hours. The game tried to simulate the feel of playing real guitar, with a crowd that cheered and boo’d along with how accurate you were. A guitar neck scrolled past you and you had to hit one of five buttons, which coordinated with strings on the guitar. Armed with a guitar shaped controller, you were able to play songs along with your favorite musicians and take over playing lead, bass or rhythm guitar for a variety of rock songs. Guitar Hero took the video gaming world by storm in 2005.


There’s a slight variation on it at the end of the first verse (after ‘down in my soul’). So to make up for it here are four Who chord riffs. I’ve been terribly remiss in not featuring The Who in my Riffs for Ukulele series (although I did write up their ukulele song Blue, Red and Grey).
