The following list contains all of the (approximately 3000) songs that appeared in all of the Guitar Hero games, including most spin-offs (excluding the Guitar Hero Mobile series and toylines).
Every song in Guitar Hero (except the bonus songs) is a cover version by WaveGroup. All the songs will say "as made famous by" except for the bonus songs which do not say anything between the song and the artist, as these are all master tracks.
Every song in Guitar Hero II (except the bonus songs and the new DLC) is a cover version, with the exceptions of Dead! (Xbox 360 only), John the Fisherman, Possum Kingdom (Xbox 360 only) and Stop! as they are master tracks. Every song in the Guitar Hero I DLC packs are the same WaveGroup covers from the first game. This will be displayed by "as made famous by" on a cover track, and "as performed by" on the two master tracks (or four on the Xbox 360 version).
Every song in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s is a cover version, with the exceptions of Because, It's Midnite, Electric Eye, I Ran, I Wanna Rock and The Warrior as they also master tracks. It is noted that I Wanna Rock is a re-recording that is pitch-shifted down by one pitch. It will be displayed the same as it was in Guitar Hero II, with "as made famous by" on a cover track, and "as performed by" on a master track. Rocks the 80s does not include any bonus songs: Because, It's Midnite was planned to be the only bonus song, but was changed to the 2nd tier encore as I Want Candy was cut from the game.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock has a lot more master tracks, as more record companies decided to share their songs as the series gained popularity. It will once again be displayed the same as it was in Guitar Hero II and Rocks the 80s: Any cover version displays "As made famous by" before the song starts, and any master track will display "by" before the song starts. Every bonus song is a master track with the exception of She Bangs the Drums. The main exception is Talk Dirty to Me, as it will say "Feat. Bret Michaels as made famous by" because Bret Michaels recorded the vocals. This is only present in the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game.
Ever since Guitar Hero World Tour, every song including bonus songs and DLC has been a master track, with only 2 exceptions for Black Betty and Gimme All Your Lovin which are once again covers by WaveGroup.
Guitar Hero is a music video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 developed by Harmonix and released in 2005. Guitar Hero's gameplay features the use of a special guitar-shaped controller modeled after a Gibson SG guitar to recreate the lead guitar part of several rock music songs; the player scores in the game by both pressing one or more fret buttons on the controller and using a strum bar in time with notes as they appear on screen.[1] The game features a total of 47 songs.
All songs are covers of the original versions, credited as, for example, "'Iron Man' as made famous by Black Sabbath", and were performed by WaveGroup Sound for the game.[4] WaveGroup has released a selection of these covers through paid download services like iTunes in a collection entitled "The Guitar Hero Recordings".[4]
Seventeen bonus songs are available within Guitar Hero.[2] Bonus songs can be purchased with in-game money earned from the Career mode within the game's virtual store.[3] Once purchased, the songs will be playable at all difficulty levels in Career, quickplay, and competitive modes. Many of the bands featured in the bonus songs are those that Harmonix members participate in.[5] The song "Cheat on the Church" by Graveyard BBQ was selected for inclusion in the game as the winner of the "Be a Guitar Hero" contest.[6]
Because I haven't been able to find one on YouTube, I've decided to put together a massive playlist of every song that has ever appeared in an official Guitar Hero game. It's still a work in progress, I still need to add the songs from Metallica, Van Halen, 5, Warriors or Rock, Band Hero, and Live, but I've got everything else so far. I've done it through YouTube Music to ensure it all works on that.
I have no problem with timing a bunch of fast notes coming toward me, but no matter how much I've practiced since the first Guitar Hero came out on PS2, I just cannot get my hand to slide over to the orange fret instinctively (probably similar to why I failed my actual guitar classes.)
I made this [spreadsheet] ( -_P1vR5pqhnT7rYm0JU0/edit?usp=sharing) with every song from Guitar Hero and Rocksmith that is available in Rock Band 4. I do not include RBN songs that are not in the game but with a few exceptions, for example Soy Bomb is from RBN but it's free in RB4.
I've just bought guitar hero live for my xbox one, but i didn't know that the sever are down. Is there any chance, in any possible way, to have the opportunity to play not only the offline songs but all the other ones available before the shut down of the servers, for instance the ones in the GHTV??
You will need the following to complete this instructable with sucsess:
1. A wii capable of running homebrew.
2. a computer capable of burning data to a dvd-r. you can download imgburn here .
3. a program called "the ghost". you can download that by going to this page.
4. For the ghost to run, you need codecs. codecs allow your computer to encode, decode, and play music and video of various file extension formats. im sure you have heard of mp3, or mp4, but have you ever heard of ogg audio, or flv video? when you download frets on fire song packs use ogg audio and if you dont have the codecs installed, ghost will not function. period. Vista for windows vista. XP for windows xp. if you have linux with wine installed, you may be able to use the ghost, but unfortunately for mac users, ur screwed cus the ghost isnt made for mac... at least not that im aware of. you can google the ghost mac and see what pops up.
5. A guitar hero 3 or aerosmith nintendo wii ISO file. i dont think that i am legally allowed to distribute a link for this one because that would make me a "piracey promoter" and im a good person. i owned my game before i dumped it.
6. Some frets on fire song folders. go here, make an account, and browse by artist to get song folders.
next step -->
enter the tools folder, and run the audio tool application. install the wav dest filter, and the xbadpcm codec. then click the begin tests button. you should here a guitar solo, then get a poppup box asking if you heard the noise. if you heard the noise, click yes. the box doesnt even pop up if you dont have the codec, so there is no reason for the no. if you have no red X's and all checks, you can continue to the next step.
you are pretty much done. just take the iso you pointed to is the beggining of ghost and burn it to a high quality, i reccomend sony, DVD-R. That is a MINUS!!! MINUS R!! not plus r, or minus rw. if it isnt minus r, it won work. and burn at 3x.
lets say you want to make two different versions of the same guitar hero 3 game, but want to track your process defferently on each disk. normally if you just burned 2 different ones, lets say the original and a metal version, you would have the same band, and if you played one more than the other, the same progress and score. you can fix this by changing the disk id. normally it is R as in Wii game, 2 letters, in this case gh like guitar hero, and then some numbers. change the numbers, and you get a new save. you can do this by running theghostwiiisotool.exe you can also change the name of the game to show up under the save icon. i havent actually used this tool, but once i do i will document it further.
I fretted (added notes to) my own songs with this great program called EOF, it takes MP3s, and then you add the notes, and when it saves it, it saves it in the Frets on Fire Format.
You could also use the computer (All OSes) program called Frets on fire to test out your songs with a keyboard or USB guitar.
My First Song was Boats 'N Hoes from Step Brothers. I FRETTED IT MYSELF AND TAKE ALL CREDIT. heres the song folder:
_and_Hoes.zip
ok thanks. i might run it through mp3gain just to make sure though : ) i think i should have done that with all of my songs before hand. it starts off by making all of the songs in the work directory the same volume, then allowing you to change them up or down all at a time, or individually. takes a while though, even with only 300 songs. i wonder how long it will take when i let it loose on my 1644 song ipod directory haha. itunes says it takes 36.9 days (no joke 3, 6, 9) to listen to it all. 5.7 gigs.
i just ran through the song and its perfectly fretted! if thats your first song, you did a really great job. i know i had to adjust the offset of about 18 of my other songs from other people AT LEAST. so eof eh, ill go grab that right away, but before i do, how long did that song take you?
I believe that Matt Bellamy is one of the most underrated guitarists of the past thirty years. Supermassive Black Hole, released in 2006, is the perfect example of his technical, classically-inspired style.
The Ramones are a great entry point for any aspiring guitarist, both in the real world and the virtual world of Guitar Hero. This classic punk track is played with a downstroke strumming pattern and is accessible to beginners.
Ziggie Stardust is part of a small group of songs that you can instantly identify by the very first chord that is struck. With its simple rhythmic strumming pattern, this track is lots of fun to play on Guitar Hero.
The Strokes were at the forefront of the indie rock revolution in the early 2000s. Their song, Reptilia, from their second studio album entitled Room on Fire, is one of the most popular Guitar Hero songs for all abilities.
The repeating lead guitar riff played by Albert Hammond Jr. requires a good level of dexterity in your fingers, and when the guitar solo kicks in at the end of the track, it becomes a real challenge to keep up.
