Introduction ____________________________________________(INTRO)_| Guitar Hero 5, the next GH game which includes new features like new game modes, challenges, and the most important (I would say), party mode. With those editions, there's still things that are original, such as difficulty levels (with the exception of beginner). You can play as all instruments, there's custom avatars, and with the new backwards compatibility, you can rip your songs from Smash Hits and World Tour onto GH5 in order to play them with all the new game modes. [Use CtrlF to search for sections using the "Gibberish" (ex. VSHST brings you to Version History)]. If you're looking for a section on how to rip songs from WT and Smash Hits, then go to the Importing Songs section (4.5.2). ________________________________________________________________________ |___ II. Version History ________________________________________(VSHST)_| Version 1.0 - Started: September 1, 2009 Finished: September 4, 2009. 1.3 - Started: September 4, 2009 Finished: September 4, 2009.

Walkthrough ____________________________________________(WKTOH)_| This walkthrough starts at the basics, so if you've never played before, Start here. And for those of you who don't know. G = Green, R = Red, Y = Yellow, B = Blue, and O = Orange. Strumline The line where you play the notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Basics (BASIC) This section is mostly from my first guide which was for GH3. Yet it may contain updates since there is a full band involved now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.1 Main Menu (MMENU) Once the game loads, press yellow (guitar) to play a random song now. To go to the main menu, press Start. Pressing the bluekey (guitar) brings up the newspage. Pressing green, will select an option. If you press yellow, party mode will popup. Contents W/Description: Competitive - Play against Friends or go online for more intense competition. Quickplay - Play any song with any instrument on any difficulty. Career - Go through the career earning stars and completing challenges. Unlock new characters, customizable instruments/outfits, and more. Music Store - Download songs, track packs, and albums to play. GHStudio - Make your own song by either FreeJamming or going through each instrument. Options - Other Features (Options Section of this guide). View Xbox Live Party - Check the people in your Xbox Live party that are playing Guitar Hero 5. Leaderboards - Check top scores and records. Rock Star Creator - Create your own custom Rocker or Avatar to play as. Training - Practice songs here on any difficulty, any instrument, and on different speeds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.2 Playing The Instruments (PLTIN) All Instruments Guitar/Bass - First off, you can't just press the fret keys and hope you get the note hit. You have to hold down what ever the correct keys are on the GH controller and then strum at the right time. Hold down the fret key then strum when the scrolling note(s) get(s) to the first line on the board. This may sound confusing to some, but you'll get used to it. For practice, just use practice mode. For Bass Only: If you see a purple line across your board when playing, then strum that normally except with no frets held down. These are called Open Notes. NOTE: It's alright to play notes (other than chords), when holding down other fret keys that are "Lower" than the one you're playing. So if you are supposed to play a yellow note, you can also hold down red and/or green, just not blue and orange. Drums - If playing drums, you CAN just hit the "buttonpads", just do it at the right time. Again (If you read the Guitar/Bass section), you must play the note once it gets to the strumline. The line that you see coming down the board is for playing the bass pedal. The other notes are somewhat the same way, just use the "buttonpads". Again, that's just the basics. Oh, and YES, Rock Band drums WILL work with GH5. Vocals - Singing can be done with the Xbox 360 Microphone, or the GH Microphone. I'm not sure about the Rock Band one. Anyways, it's quite simple to sing. All you have to do is match the pitch. There's no need to sing the right word, just make sure it's the right note or an octave away from that. (That's how Rock Band worked.) Once again, make sure that before you "sing", the scrolling or static vocal notes make it to the line (I may also call this the strumline). And follow them just like one may do when playing the other instruments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.3 Rock Meter, Streaks, and Scoring (RMSAS) All Instruments - Rock Meter Green is Good, Red is Bad. The more notes you hit, the higher it goes up (to green); the more you miss, the lower it gets (to red). Star Power will increase the rock meter faster with each note hit. If your rock meter happens to go all the way down, then you lose. Located on the left side of your noteboard. - Streaks The amount of notes you hit, will up your streaks. This can also be seen under your score. The better streak, the more points (due to your multiplyer going up). - Scoring Each single note is worth 50 points, every 2 note chord is 100, and 3 is 150. The higher the streak, the more points: starts at x1, after every set of 10 notes hit (in a row), it goes up to x2, x3, and x4. The multiplyer can be seen above the star power meter on the right side of the noteboard. Star Power will double these multipliers. x1 = x2, x2 = x4, and so on, until x8. Long notes will give you points depending on how long you hold them, and [long] chords will give you more than single ones. (Scoring is on the right side of the noteboard). Note: If you want to get more stars at the end of the song (stars as in the number in the star that appears once you finish a song), then all you have to do is get a better score. More score more stars. For band explinations, check section 4.1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.4 Star Power (STRPR) All Instruments - In order to gain Star Power, you must hit a sequence of notes that are highlighted a lightblue. After hitting all notes in a sequence, more Star Power will be added to your reserve. - It is simply something that either helps you when your rock meter's red or helps you score more points. When filled up enough, the meter for star power "shining" (right side of noteboard). How to activate: Guitar - Tilt instrument upwards (same with Bass). Drums - Simultaneously hit the Yellow & Orange Cymbal. Vocals - Press X, Y, B, or A if using a Headset. For a microphone, simply tap it. After activating, the board with turn kinda blue, and all notes will be a sort of light blue or cyan kinda color. During this time, your multi plyer will be doubled (2x, 4x, 6x, or 8x). If you're playing badly or want to get your rock meter up fast, then once active, Star Power will make it raise faster with each note hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.5 Whammy Bar (WMYBR) Guitar/Bass The Whammy Bar one way to get star power when there is a long note that has a star shape, push the whammy bar in and out towards the guitar controller, the note on the screen will turn blue as you gain some star power. The whammy bar can also be used to make sounds as you move it in and out at a certain rate depending on how you like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1.6 Tutorials & Practice Mode (TLSPM) All Instruments To practice or do a tutorial, choose Training from the Main Menu. Tutorial List: Gameplay: Basic: Highway & Rock Meter Score & Stars Challenge Mode Guitar: Basic: Using The Guitar Using Fret Buttons Sustains & Chords Star Power Intermediate: HighNote Override HammerOns & PullOffs Tapped Notes Using The Slider Advanced: Hand Positions Extended Sustains AllStrumming For Your Health Bass: Intermediate: Open Notes Drums: Vocals: Band Play: Basic: Scoring System Star Power Overflow Revival Instrument Roles Practice Mode - If you are having trouble with a song section or just a song, then go to practice mode. Here, you can play songs on any instrument without failing, and you can change the speed. If you want, you can also choose a specific part of a song as well. During a practice song, you can see how much percentage of the notes you have hit. There's no star power or scoring but there is a multiplier still where it normally is. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4.2 Intermediate (INTMD) If you've already played a few times on the easier difficulties and think you're ready to move on, simply read the next section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.1 HammerOns & PullOffs (HOPOS) Guitar/Bass Also known as HOPOs, HammerOns & PullOffs may not appear until hard mode, but I think now's a good time to learn about them. When playing guitar or bass, you may see notes that have a larger white circle, the se specific notes may be playing without strumming, as long as you press the fret button when needed, AND most importantly, if you strum the first note before or during the HOPO sequence: Image example | | (r) Regular note type. | (o) | (o) HOPO note type. | (o) | | (o) | Strum at the (r), then press the right fret keys when |(o) | the time comes. No need to strum them unless you | (r) | somehow messup. | | | G R Y B O | Important Note: It's okay to strum any note, it will |___________| still count towards your score and streaks. You may also strum a (o) note and continue a HOPO sequence from there. Just be sure to press the fret keys (when the notes are over the strumline) when needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.2 Drum Fills & Vocal Fills (DFVFS) Drums/Vocals Drums If you come across a part on your "noteboard" while playing a song in which there is a purpleish wave type thing, then this means you can play anything you want. Only during this part you can play free though until it returns to its normal state. This will not messup your streaks or rock meter so what ever you had before the DrumFill will be the same. Yet, after a DrumFill, you must return and play the normal parts of the song. Vocals For vocals, it's almost exactly the same as the DrumFill, yet your wave is sideways, and is kind of green. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.3 Progression From Easy To Medium (PFETM) All Instruments Guitar/Bass For adding the bluekey, use your pinkyfinger. To make the transition from medium to hard easier, you should just move the fingers you've already been using. The bluekey just takes time to get used to, along with the appearance of a lot more chords. So, as a good training method, I suggest practice mode until you can get the blue key and then try a song on quickplay (medium) and go for 90%. If you start the mediumdifficulty career for guitar/bass afterwards, it should be a little easier. You may still fail some songs but overtime the blue key will be just like any other. Oh, and 1 last note, if you've been using color schemes in order to tell what key your press, then stop. Just try and coordinate where the note appears in response to which finger needs to be pressed down. Drums (Coming Soon) Vocals Not much changes for Vocals except that there are more pitches you must hit and you must have more exact pitches. So make sure you're good with Easy Mode before moving on and try a song in practice mode at first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.4 Solos (SOLOS) Guitar One of the most fun parts of Guitar Hero, is the solo. Exclusively for guitar, solos include many HOPOs, and single notes. During this time, the bass and drums will probably repeat the same thing over and over, while vocals do nothing. If you are having trouble with a solo, the best thing I recommend, is to keep your fingers where they are; yet for your indexfiner, use it for green and red. This may not always work considering there are times when chords are played during solos, so, practicemode is something you should use. I can't highlight songs in GH5 that you may need help on, but solos I should be able to do. If you need help with a specific solo STILL AFTER reading this section, I guess you can email me (Contact Section) with the name of the song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.5 Solo Career (CREER) All Instruments If you want, you can go through Career Mode alone. You may want to switch instruments depending on the song's challenge or you can just go back later. It's easier to get Challenges and get more stars while alone unless the Challenge is a Band Challenge which will require you to play with atleast 1 other person in that song (that is if you want to do the optional challenges for bands). ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4.3 Advanced (ADVNC) If you're looking at this section before you've 5starred a medium song and gone through atleast 1 career, then don't. This section includes things only for those who are ready to move onto hard mode and expert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.3.1 The Orange Key (Guitar/Bass) (ORNGE) This can either be very hard, or very easy. For one, if you haven't played at all, don't read this. 2, get used to moving your fingers. In order for it to be an easier transition to harder difficulties, I high ly recommend that you play and complete a song on medium difficulty without using your pinkyfinger. I know, it may seems impossible but you can atleast try. If you can't do this, then there's no way you will be able to get expert mode. If you have trouble on medium, go back to easy or beginner using only your first 2 fingers. Go for atleast 95% or more while doing this, and if you can (that is 95% on easy), increase to medium, just add your ring finger. You'll probably eventually make some progress as it will become more natural and easier for you to move your hand. Once again, go for 95% (yet on medium), and once you think you're ready, give hard mode a chance. This can be the hardest part in the transition adding the orange fret key. Once you start a song (hard or expert), sometimes it can be easier to start with your hand on RYBO (Red, yellow, blue, orange). Use what you've done before in easier modes by moving your hand. If you for some reason try to remember the colors and use them to know what you're playing, then don't. That is the worst thing to do because you don't want to look at your hand when playing (you'll mess up of course). Just try to make sure that you are still moving your hand and for the simplest way to get a song completed, use your indexfiner to press the green AND red key, when not playing chords. This way, your other fing ers won't have to move. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.3.2 Those Darker Notes? Tapping (TDRKN) Guitar Similar to HammerOns & PullOffs, these notes can be played without strumming; yet, there's not need to strum any note if you messup (but you can if you want). Seen more often in ExpertMode, these notes can be played with the "notepad" seen on GH5Version guitars (and since there are more in Expert, that's why it's in the Advanced section). The "notepad" (As I will call it), includes those 5 buttonlike... buttons in the middle of the fretboard. Once again, strumming is optional. Oh, and they are referred to as Taps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.3.3 Expert Difficulty (EXPRT) After going through many songs on HardMode, go to practice mode and bring up Song 2 or something easy in Expert Mode. You'll want to start small and not go for big solos yet unless you think you're ready. There are many differences between Hard & Expert. For one, Expert Mode has more chords and uses the OrangeKey an amount more. As an added part, much more difficult solos and taps are playable. There's not much to say about going from Hard to Expert except that you should be able to get atleast 98% on a song in Hard Mode before attempting anything like "2 Minutes To Midnight". If you want, you can go through the Tutorials again or atleast the ones on Taps and some of the Advanced things, then try them out for yourself. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4.4 Band Stuff (BANDS) This part of the walkthrough talks about what happens when playing as a part of a band. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.1 Star Power (BSRPR) BAND Star Power is gained and activated by yourself, although, activating it together will raise your multiplier higher, especially if you do this right after a Band Moment is performed correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.2 Rock Meter, Streaks, And Scoring (BRMSS) BAND Rock Meter Unlike World Tour, while playing in a band, everyone gets their own rock meter. If someone fails, then the whole band doesn't, but they will need to be helped or else failing is going to happen. (Section 4.4.5 Has More Info). Streaks & Scoring Streaks are put together as a band, so if someone were to messup, then the whole band streak would reset. Scoring is like singleplay except it combines everyone's score together. For a higher number of stars at the end of the song, the band's score will have to be higher than the needed score for singleplay. Multipliers are set as a band and single. Alone, it can get up to x8. As a band, a multiplier can be x11. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.3 Band Career (BCRER) BAND Very much like a SoloCareer, yet, stars are harder to get unless you are playing with good players. Your combined score is used to get the 5 stars from that (excluding the 1 extra from 100%), along with the Band challenges for an extra 3. Solo challenges can still be completed in a band as long as you are using the correct instrument. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.4 Band Moments (BMMNT) BAND During play as a band, some notes (1 or 2 times per song) will have flames around them. If everyone plays these without MessingUp, then the Band Multiplier will raise for a short amount of time. Completing 20 of these will get you an achievement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.5 Saving Others From Fail (SOFFL) BAND After someone fails, a crowd meter will popup in which the other band members have to play well so that it fills all the way, in order to revive their fallen bandmate. As an optional way to get a bandmate revived, one person can activate star power. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4.5 Other Features (OTHER) N/A Extra things in the game you may not know of, including how to import songs from GH: Smash Hits, and from World Tour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.5.1 Importing Songs (IMPRT) N/A Go to Options from the Main Menu. Choose Import Songs. Pick which game you want songs from, and then enter the 20Digit unique code from the back of that game's manual. For a list of songs that become import ed, check the Song List section of this guide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.5.2 Options Menu (OPNMU) N/A Here, you can change Audio leves for specific instruments or sound effects as well as switch to LeftyFlip. You can also calibrate your system and TiltSensor. As well as Saving & Loading, you can enter any cheat codes you know (Just select Input Cheats). ________________________________________________________________________ |___ V. Multiplayer _____________________________________________(MULTI)_| Online play is availible along with many different modes to choose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 Cooperative (CO-OP) Instruments: Any 24 (Each being different or the same). In cooperative, or band mode (whatever you call it), you can play as any instrument along with any others. So, there are different combinations of instruments to play, such as: Drums and Vocals, Guitar and Bass, Guitar, Bass, and Vocals; mostly whatever instrument combination you want. Even, 4 of the same. If you want to do this, then simply go to Career or Quickplay. Search for players, friends, or play local-ly. All of you can choose a difficulty and play a song of choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.2 ProFace Off (PROFF) Instruments: Any 28 of the same, Or, any type of Band vs same. - During a match, there is Star Power, multipliers, and scoring, but you can't fail. Whoever gets the most points, will be the victor. Use Star Power during chords and get an x8 multiplier going to score the most. If you messup and are playing with someone average of your play ability or better, you will probably lose unless they manage to messup as well (Just Saying). Choose any song you want yet everyone must play it on the same difficulty. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 5.3 New Modes (NWMDS) These modes are exclusive to Guitar Hero 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.1 Momentum (MMNTM) Instruments: Any 28 of the same. - Starting Up, you will be on Medium difficulty. If you miss notes, the difficulty will go down, if you hit more notes, it raises (don't worry, there's no fail). . In order to win, you must get the most points. For the best way to do this, you must raise to Expert Mode and hit a lot of notes when using Star Power, just don't messup a lot or you'll be sent back to Hard or even something lower. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.2 Do Or Die (DODIE) Instruments: Any 28 of the same. - Play through the song, if you miss 4 notes, you fail the phrase and won't play until a tinybit after the next one starts. To win, get the most points: 1 point per phrase not failed. Star power is not required as it doesn't contribute to points (and there's no Rock Meter). Phrases are marked with thin gold lines along the NoteHighway. There's also a timer than counts down when the phrase ends and a new one comes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.3 Elimination (ELMNT) Instruments: Any 28 of the same. - Play through a song with others and try to score the most points. The one who has the lowest points once the next phrase starts (there's also a timer), will be eliminated and not be able to win or play the song. It keeps going until every person but one, has been eliminated. So, it could end in the middle of a song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.4 Streakers (STREK) Instruments: Any 28 of the same. - Once a song has started, get streaks of notes. For every 10 notes that you manage to streak, you get some points. 1 for the first, 2 for the next 10 that goes along with the first; then 3, and finally 4 points for each 10 you manage to streak from then on. Get the most points to win, but don't mess-up or you'll go back to getting 1 point and you will have to make your way back up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.5 Perfectionist (PRFCT) Instruments: Any 28 of the same. - Go through a song without a Rock Meter. If you messup, you will be given less points at the next phrase. If you don't once the next one has come, then you will be given the maximum 4. At the end of the song, the one/team with the most points will win. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3.6 Party Mode (PRTYM) Instruments: 14 of any instrument combination. - In order to play PartyMode, from the Main Menu (This is only local), press the YellowKey (Guitar). A song will startup, you choose your instrument and difficulty and start playing this random song. In order to choose your own songs, press Start, and choose Song. Choose new song and make your own playlist or whatever you want. During PartyMode, you can dropout, change instrument or difficulty, or take a break. There's no fail and it won't stop unless you quit. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 5.4 Band Vs. Band (BNDVS) Instruments: 2 of each (Vocals are optional). - This is basically 2 StandardBands going through songs trying to score the most points possible. You can't see what your opposing Band is playing but you can compare scores in the center of your display. So, overall just try to get the highest BandMultiplier possible. As well as the score in the center, there's a meter pointing towards which team has the most points. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 5.5 Online Play (ONLNE) All Instruments & Band To do online play, go to Quickplay/Career/Competitive (You can change this while in the player lobby). Press Orange to search for players. If you chose Career or Quickplay, it will search for any 3 others of any instruments. If you chose Competitive, it will bring up this list: Pro Faceoff - Face off against others players in a free for all, high score competition (Section 5.2). Rockfest - Compete against other players during a series of songs. Game rules will change after every song. Players vote on which rules to use. Rockfest includes Pro Faceoff, Momentum, Streakers, Do Or Die, Perfectionist, and Elimination. Team Pro Faceoff - Face off against an opposing band of any instrument combination in a hish score competition. Team Rockfest - Compete against an opposing band during a series of songs. Game rules will change after every song. Players vote on which rules to use. Team Rockfest includes Team: Pro Faceoff, Momentum, Streakers, Do Or Die, Perfectionists, and Elimination. Band v Band - Face off against an opposing standard band in a high score competit ion w/without Vocals. Choose one of these to start your search. ________________________________________________________________________ |___ VI.
