I love playing Guitar Hero, in one day I trained from beginner to hard, and i bet in a week I will be kicking *** against anybody! Well, everybody has always called me a quick learner.
To your point - there may indeed have been some okay or cool songs in GHWT (and I felt their were), but they weren't guitar songs. "Band on the run"? Classic popular song.. but.. there's no cool guitar parts. It's not band hero - it's guitar hero.
Lol...Out of curiosity, how long did it take to master? I consider myself pretty decent. I play on expert and have completed GH3 and 4 on it, (other than TTFAF of course), but it's truly quite an insane amount of notes.

On a more serious note, yea I definitely know what you mean, but still, it may have not been as difficult, but the songs were fun to play for the most part.
Something slightly separate, I found the general layout of the career confusing. In GH3 the difficulty level of the songs got harder each gig, which was cool. In GH4, until the last few gigs, the songs seemed to be mixed up any old how.
I guess really it was the difficulty of the tracks that made me lose interest - though I still go back and play easy songs from GH 1, 2, and 3 - but they're good guitar tracks like Sunshine of your Love.
To be honest, the only part of TTFAF that gave me any trouble at all was the opening segment. The rest of the song wasn't that big a deal. The one thing I will say about beating it - with some of the other tracks, you could go off & play some of the other tracks in the setlist and get better at them, and practice - with TTFAF, you don't get better by playing anything but that one song, you really have to focus on it. If I had to put a timeline to it, it probably took a month of playing it a few times a day (yes I am that boring & that much of a geek) I had the same experience getting through Jordan in GH2 (have you seen buckethead play that live? it's insane!)

Great song. I still go back to GH2 to play Sweet Child O' Mine. It's such a classic.

Needless to say I am impressed. It took me a while to nail Cliffs of Dover, but now I can 5 star it each time. So I know how you feel albeit, with a less difficult song.

Ehh... not quite Before GH2 Jordan was a song Buckethead used as a transition to some of his other songs - that's a medle of a couple of his different tracks, and doesn'y include the solo from Jordan.
