Q: Can some 1 plz help me I cant beat jordon on expert I get like 58% then I lose and I save up my star power and it still aint enough and ive practiced it on slowerst and its not really helping. any suggestions?

A1: Try slowest than slower than slow than full speed

A2: I think you need to grow at least 2 extra fingers to complete Jordan on expert...... It's borderline impossible. I haven't come across anyone that has been able to complete it yet. Maybe in practice mode if you try and complete it a section at a time you will stand a greater chance. If you can memorize whats coming you might have a better shot. Good luck dude, keep rockin.

A3: There is no suggestions except to keep practicing. that song is the HARDEST song on GH2 so practice practice practice.

A4: Don't know if it's still helping, but, what you do is beat the first part of the solo. Like, wait until it gets to the extremely hard part like red,yellow,red,yellow,red,yellow really fast. after that part, theres a short pause and it goes to the next part, which is green red yellow green red yellow fast. Use star power then.

A5: First you have to have full star power going into the solo (which I'm sure you do because your able to get 58% through the song) and you MUST have a full ROCK meter after solo a. You have to get through the first break in the solo before you use star power or you will probably fail halfway into solo c (right about where you are). Keep practicing solos B and C until you can get about 60%, then you should be able to get to the BNOF (blue note of freedom) and you won't fail after that

A6: Put an elastic band around the green button and mold your fingers to the other 4 frets(Not literally). But if you do that you dont have to worry about hitting green just strumming for it. It takes a while to get used to but it works! Also people might say it doesnt work for chords... It doesnt... but in Jordan there is only 1 chord in the whole song :P Good Luck. I beat it! :)

A7: Try to do pull=offs and hammer-ons. you do that by like say there is two notes really close together but one is after another. so strum the first note and then press the other one QUICKLY while holdin' the firast note. keep practicing song that require those "tricks" and you can use the solos as one BBBIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGhammer-on &pull-offf and it can be accomplished! PHEW! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh......... THERE!

A8: I can honestly say iv betten jorden on xpert 87% 5star uv gota practice it man all the tyme I played it 3hrs then passed it I played 3hrs mre same day and got 5 stars keep PRACTICING

A9: I've actually beaten Jordan three times, its one of the hardest things i've ever done lol. you just have to nail Solo B for as LONG AS POSSIBLE and then use the select button to star power it up, tilting doesn't go right away

A10: Use the tapping stratagy. On a really hard part use your normal hand and your other hand for blue and orange

A11: Putting an elastic on the first fret just means you suck and you shouldnt be playing expert

A12: To be completely level with you, the only way to beat jordan is to first get at least 4 stars on the rest of the game, youll pick up enough tools for moving your hand to figure out certain parts so you can try to save your star power early on

A13: I have beaten jordan plenty of times.. a lil more than ten I think but anyways.. it took me about two hours of practice and I got it! just practice the solo until you hit about 60 percent of the notes.. and when you really play save your star power until around 49-51 percent of the song and use it. Thats what I do ~Meach~

A14: Just because you elastic the green button on jordan doesnt necessarily mean you suck. I beat it without the elastic. it took me a day of practicing guitar solo b, and another day to practice the rest and I finally beat it. not an easy song. and use the elastic if you want, its not really cheating, nor does it mean youre not allowed to play on expert.

A1: Try entering the cheat faster and on the main menu

A2: Its at the main menu heres some to get you started horse head b,o,o,b,o,o,b,o,o,b hyper speed b,o,y,o,b,o,y,o and my favorite performense mode y,y,b,y,y,o,y,y

A3: Either youre not pressing the buttons fast enough or you have a differant version

A4: Maybe your game is defected. Try again differently.

A5: It happened to me. For some odd reason, when I tried a Performance mode cheat from the Cheats section, it made my fret section, score, and rock meter dissappear so I hjad to guess what notes I had to hit. -Answer by:BobDoleRulz

A6: Enter your codes on the main menu quickly. -Answer by:LilSid

A7: Also, dont tilt you guitar because some wont do anything at all

Q: In co-op, my friend and I both got over 96% and still didn't get 5 stars.....how do we get it?? is there s certain leve you must play on or what??

A1: You get stars based on note percent AND score. Make better use of you star power, try to use it on sections with alot of notes and when you have 4x multiplier.

A2: U have to play it on at least medium and its not percentage cause me and my friend played tonite I'm gunna rock you tonite and both got 100% and still only got 4 stars you have to get a certain amount of points.

A3: The whole star system has absolutely nothing to do with the percentage of notes you get correct. The star system is based solely on your score. Each song has a set point range for each star rating. Sorta like: 30k-65k = 3 stars, 66k-99k = 4 stars, 100k+ = 5 stars. I have scored 5 star ratings for songs that I only made an 86% on. And on some songs, I get a 4 star rating even though I nail 96% of the notes. It's all about the score. Getting a 4X multiplier, then jacking it up to 8X with star power where there's a lot of notes.

A4: If you want to get 5 stars, don't worry. just make a huge combo. Trust me, I 5-starred Free Bird on Expert with 83%. No joke! I just didn't mess up the slow part and the 1st part of the solo. All you have to do is just not mess up on stuff you could do.

A5: The stars you get depend on your score. try to get star power and activate it when you have a solo or your multiplier is at 4x

A6: Its not about the score or the percent, its about the average multiplyer. >2.0 for 3 stars, 2.0 for 4 stars, 2.8 for 5 stars. no joke. I played several songs to figure this out. I got 2.7 on different songs and only got 4 stars. when I got 2.8 or higher on any song I got 5 stars. as far as I know this only applies to single player. co-op im certain is score related.

A7: The third answer is totally bogus. It's % and pts. According to "pts only" there's no way to get more than 3 stars on many of the songs (they are very short and with their highest possible score, using star power throughout, you can still only get about 55,000 pts. And that's definitely not fact, because I've gotten 5 stars SEVERAL times on short songs with

A8: The 3rd answer is right. It's about the points. EACH song has a set range of points to get each star rating. Keeping a good combo going is a good strategy to get a high score. Using star power to further higher your score is extremely helpful.

A9: Its about pecentage NOT SCORE!

A10: Ok look in co-op you will need both percentage and score, but they must work together. Like if one person gets 50% but the other gets 100 you will get 3 star. not only this but the scores must be good unless you both get 100 percent and dont use star power. Star power also counts, the less you use it the more stars.

A11: I am going to have to go with the assumption that the song you played was Tonight I am Gonna Rock (Tonight), in any case, there are some songs that simply require one of you to be doing Hard mode to aquire enough points to achieve the rating. For ex: if you play TIGRT both on easy and both get 100% of the notes with no foul up s and using all the star power phrases in the correct point, you will still only get 4 stars. If you think I am wrong guitar gurus, try it yourself. - its points not percentages that get you the star rating (with exception to five gold in single player)

A12: You can sit there and not use ANY Star Power and get 5 stars... you have to get a high enough percentage on EACH SECTION OF THE SONG. To check how you did, go to "More Stats" after you finish the song. There's a cutoff percentage, and you have to get at least that much on EVERY SECTION to get 5 stars.

A13: WOW! in Guitar Hero its all about your score. % has absolutely nothing to do with it. There is a certain score you need for different amounts of stars. You can get 60% on a song and still 5* it as long as you have a high enough score. If you think i'm wrong look at scorehero.com

A14: I got a 98% on one song and only missed 5 notes and I still only got 4 stars! But then I played it again... and got a 95% and got 5 stars!1...yea thats crazy huh?...the video game makers come up with some bogus stuff! haha

A15: Ok, hopefully I can end this whole chain of answers right here. the GH2 starring system is ONLY based on score. believe me, im about 5 songs from getting 5 stars on all expert songs. the percentage is just to tell you how you did, and where your strengths are. There is an exact point value you have to reach to get five star. I swear, some of these people are such noobs.

A16: It's all based on points man...go to scorehero.com and it gives you the total score to beat for each song. If you do that then you get the amount of stars it says next to the score. I know people are saying stuff like its multiplyer and stuff but the truth is you probaly need a good enough multiplyer to get the points...but overall its points

Q: How do I unlock the song war pigs?

A1: It depends if your on easy it wont show on career because its an encore to unlock it play normal (medium) and play until its unlocked

A2: To unlock the song you make a career on medium, and then when you have enough money you will be able to buy the song war pigs and then you will be able to have it on both Quick play And Career mode.

A3: Play on medium and say yes to the encores and one of them is war pigs

A4: You need to unlock it as an encore. It is an encore song.

A5: You don't buy it, it's an encore

A6: Its an encore on level 3

A7: Well I unlocked War Pigs by beating, Tattooed Love Boys on medium .After you do that the encore thing will show up and if you click yes the song will be War Pigs.(But remember you can\'t do this on easy becuase there\'s no encore songs on easy.)

A8: Its the encore song on level 3

Q: How can you put a rubber band around the green note and play different notes too?

A1: Yeah, I guess you could. I'm not sure if that would work for chords thought...probably not.

A2: No it doesn't work for chords.

A3: Yes it does work for chords. ita he lowest note so I wont have any effect on higher notes!

A4: Cords are different than notes. if you were to hold down the green button and play a blue / orange cord then you would miss the cord completely

A5: Get a easy hard green button lever or DO BETTR AND KEEP PRACTICING!

A6: This tip sucked because it will not play chords, and also it's very difficult not to press the green button accidently, so it messes you up.

A7: It does not work for chords AT ALL! and it sounds like the answer person has never even played guitar hero

A8: You should learn to play normally.

Q: I can't beat Woman on Hard. Any tips?

A1: Just keep practising I couuldnt get past it so I kept practicing

A2: Go on practice mode then just slow it down... put it on slowest then keep building up the speed.

A3: Well I had a very hard time beating Woman also. I just kept practicing and eventualy I got through it. so go to practice mode and keep trying at it.

A4: I had the same prob! go to the practise screen and practice the sections that you have trouble with, and if im right it is the bridge and solo's another trick is save all your start power, and use it at the hard bit, so the notes you hit increase the score by alot, and you dont need to hit as much notes as you would without star power hope this helps!

A5: I didnt have much of a problem with it, btu im going to recommend not to dopractice mode, its alot easier to do it at normal speed, even if it is in practice mode. but practice mode doesnt give any motivation, since you cant fail it. I only use it for certain solos, and such.

A6: A way to beat woman on hard is if you keep practicing and keep practicing you will probably be able to finish the song if you get better at the game with practice mode

A7: Same problem here. When I started playing guitar hero my buddy just told me what to do and I aced all of the medium level songs. Then when I went onto Hard in my career I just couldn't get through Woman. I went back to the practice area and still couldn't do it. Then I went back to 'lessons' and actually sat through the three different lessons. Lesson 3 is the key - hammerons and pull-offs will get you through Woman. I think its the first song you really need to use these on to get you through to the next stage.

A8: I'm struggling with this one too. In case you haven't figured it out already, play most of the song in the second hand position (index on red) and use HOPOs for the bridge and solo. Also, that fast G-R-Y-B, G-R-Y-O section at the end of the bridge can be played better (for me) by sliding my hand down so my ring finger hits the blue. Then, if I need to hit orange I can just set my pinky on it.

A9: Actually its like a real guitar and how you get better with it. electric guitar legends didnt get on the computer and ask. Everyone who is great has put in there time to be there. I remember when I got to the hard section and I realized that I wasn't thinking about the notes anymore. it came with practice. now im pro. good luck.

A10: Ends on your playing style. Mainly the best tip I can give you is to memorize your fingerings on comand. Try playing with the lower possition ( first finger on the 2nd button) and just stretch your first finger to hit green. Unless your hand is really small it should work without any problems. I don't suggest going on practice and slowing down the song because you'd have to practice every song that would be hard for you.

Q: Through Fire and Flames apear on ps2?

A1: You can go through a tedious process of hacking the game (with a DVD-Reader on your computer) and downloading about 12 programs to edit the songs, changeing the song and the nots played, it's tedious work, but if you feel like doing it, have fun making your own songs!

A2: No,because you would need GH3 to get it or use a Xbox360 to down load it.

Q: On YouTube I saw someone playing a song by Muse that replaced Jessica. Is this possible?

A1: There are no cheats for this...This is only done through modifying the game

A2: The answer to your question is that the video you saw was a modded version of the game in which people have repleaced some songs to the point of pantera walk and more check out scorehero.com

A3: It's possibe but you have to make by hacking into your game. (You can make any song.)

A4: Yes it is. They have modified their game to put a different song on their game. I've seen plenty of things like that on 'YouTube'. If you want to do this, there are places on the internet or I think with your game, but I'm sure, that will give you step by step insructions.

A5: Yes people have figured out ways of replacing songs on GH2 with songs people noted out themselves. IT's a VERY complicated process, and you need a customized/modded PS2. REally not worth it unless you can get perfect on all the songs on expert cause most songs are VERY diffiuclt. Also considered illegal of some sort, not exactly sure but unless you're very knowledgable of computer software and have a modded PS2 and can beat every song on Expert in GH2. Not worth it.

A6: If you get all 5 stars in hard in a career on the xbox you can get custom mode which will let you download any song to put on gh2

Q: How do you use the "Star Power"?

A1: Tip the guitar up

A2: Raise up the guitar straight up

A3: Star Power is when you get enough combinations of the star chords to fill up your 'Star Meter'. To use this, press select (right below start button on your guitar) or tip your guitar up in the air and it will automatically do it for you.

A4:
