Keep practicing and you'll get to hard in the end. I can't finish hard though. The last few songs are just impossible for me, which is really annoying considering I've 5 starred nearly all of the others.

GH3 isnt really a good point to jump into the series. The game is siginifacantly harder than all other games in the series. I started the game on hard and I never failed a song all the way through but thats because I had played the crap outta GH2, but expert will make you cry stinky tears. The song you should worry about the most is Raingin Blood. Its super hard and its part of the main setlist so you have to beat it to beat the game. I got the hidden acheivment for failing a song 20 times and the one for failing a song 90% though on that song.

Yeah, i checked at gamestation and they have a couple of GH2 in so i might pick one up.

Nice, I just got it when i came out failing all easy songs. Now Im on expert.
