|___ I. 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).

|___ IV. 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.

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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 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.
