Guitar Zero

Having played Guitar Hero, I find I listen to songs differently. Now when I hear a song on the radio, I will listen for the lead guitar part and will try to picture how well the song would fit into the game and how fun or difficult it would be to play. Some songs, like Don’t Fear the Reaper, have a good guitar part in the middle but might be rather boring for the rest of the song. I know they probably don’t need any song suggestions, but it’s fun to think of some.
Another song I thought would be good was Hotel California, but I checked and someone else already thought it was a good idea and put it into Guitar Hero World Tour. They need more Zeppelin too. I’m thinking that the guitar solo in Heartbreaker would be the highlight of the game. And some Johnny B. Goode wouldn’t hurt either. Ooh… Clapton’s Layla (the fast one, not the slow, unplugged one) would be fun too. And Sultans of Swing.
Okay, for the last two suggestions I cheated and peeked at Guitar World’s list of top guitar solos of all time. On a lighter note (pun intended), I also recommend Hocus Pocus by Focus and Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group.
Some radio stations are all-Christmas format, so I usually don’t find a lead guitar part in those. Although… Christmas Eve in Sarajevo could be a good candidate for Guitar Hero Holiday Edition.
And not to be left out of a trend, the Christian bookstores are selling Guitar Praise. That way, you can enjoy wholesome fun with the entire family, playing Christian/praise/worship songs on the guitar.
“Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.”

Okay, Guitar Praise just makes me want to cry. I didn’t know that existed until now; why’d you have to mention it?
Oh, and I played Hotel California on GHWT, and it was an extremely fun song to play.
