NinjAstar Hero: (Pending Title)

[Acquired NinjA Power NinjAstar]

This is a new project I've recently started to work on. It's a large setlist made in the way of Guitar Hero or FOF Hero setlists. I'm quite new to fretting, so I hope this project will gain me some recognition (cause honestly I think im one of the better fretters of the forum)

The song list is a large one, with 5 songs + Encore. With 10 Bonus songs and 5 Hidden songs. It starts out with incredibly easy songs, but some of the later songs can be ridiculously tough. (Except for Extreme players like moepOOO, Elodius, Puppetz, Amon Amarth, Maartah, Kotti, and some others ive seen.) All songs will be only Expert.

ALL the songs in the setlist are either completely new or previously fretted poorly. There are also 3 GH songs in here. 2 are being refretted since the GH covers changed the song, and the other one is being refretted since the chart from GH was horrible. In my opinion most should be fun to play (to be honest the only boring one so far it seems is Wild Side)

Also, all the songs are audio enhanced in Audacity, I made the song quality better, the volume the same for all the songs, and made fade out endings louder until very near the end (helpful on songs that fade out early with 30 seconds of very quiet playing)

Some songs will have drum tracks, these songs are marked in this color. Thanks to all the people who are charting drums for some of the songs.

[Broken Keyboard!!! Puppetz]

You awesome songs there, that hasn't been done good yet... that's positive!

[Awesome Drum Charter anthman852]

Surf Wax America - Weezer, 1994 (Previously fretted poorly)

lol, I did that song back in my freetar days. I am willing to admit that it sucked ass.

[Acquired NinjA Power NinjAstar]

I think thats the one I actually have. The acoustic riff was actually ok in your fretting.

But like my frettings at least close to perfect, if there not then I don't have as much fun playing. ^^

Hope you 2 Puppetz, or Anthman, may want to try out at least one of the preview songs. Ive never gotten a lot of feedback on my chartings, so long time fretters like you guys would be a great help.

EDIT: Added Wanted Man to the preview list.

[Tsuruya-ist vedicardi]

Lol, thats how its spelled on the "Ultimate Experience" album. I thought it might be wrong, so I'll change it. I'm glad you like the setlist.

Also, Lie by Dream Theater is almost finished. I love playing the first solo, I even found there are 2 96th notes in the first solo. Though its not hard since the song has 94-95 BPM throughout the first half of the song.

EDIT: Done some rearranging in the setlist order, and the bonus song Top Jimmy by Van Halen was changed to another song off Van Halen's 1984 album, Girl Gone Bad.

[Back! Any one care!? jaxxxson]

Last Rites/Loved To Deth - Megadeth, 1985
Armoured Assault - Evile, 2007 (Too...fast...)
xD AHHH that is awesome.

Good song choices ^_^

Last Rites/Loved To Deth - Megadeth, 1985

Didn't even see this. My fav. Megadeth intro by far.

[Aeovon]

Brilliant song list. Not my favorite Extreme song, but still a classic. If I find the time, I'll convert some of those guitar pro tabs for you (unless you already got them).
(I like the fact that just about every setlist I've seen so far has had Megadeth [my fave band])

Hah, you need Megadeth in your Hero setlists! Even if people are running out of their really good songs to chart, theres always a Megadeth song thats going to be really fun to play in FoF. And with "Loved To Deth" having a similar Verse riff as "Poison Was The Cure" along with a Slayer-like solo, its gonna be tough.

Play With Me is my favorite Extreme song, and I was dissapointed how changes were made in the GH Cover to make it easier. Yet I only have a "Best Of" album of Extreme, which focuses on more of their Grunge and ballad songs, not their Heavy Metal songs mostly found from their first and second CD.

I have the whole discography (He-Man Woman Hater is one of my fave songs by them btw). I was very disappointed with the vocals for GH's Play With Me (especially the opening). I don't hate all of the GH covers, but this is one of the ones I do.

If you manage to pull this off properly, I'm sure it'll get you the recognition you deserve! You seem to put a lot of effort in it, so I'll be sure to give it a try.
and btw, list Kotti NOW, he's the best player here
