>What is the best Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone right now
I haven't played in a while but I doubt it's changed much from when I did. Back when I played Clone Hero was generally king but YARG, GH2 Deluxe, and RB3 Deluxe were all good options if you preferred the older, tighter engines of the early Guitar Hero games.
>what's the best place to download songs?
There's a spreadsheet you can find with google drive links to the setlists of all of the mainline GH and RB games. For customs, I never used anything other than Chorus, which is called EnChor these days. You should be able to find everything I mentioned just by googling, but if not I hope you can stomach going on the clone hero and guitar hero subreddits to look for all this.

Why not just get a cheap Harley Benton or whatever and actually play the guitar instead?

>>738254748
Actually playing the guitar and playing Guitar Hero are different kinds of fun, GH isn't trying to emulate playing the guitar in any meaningful way.

I don’t even wanna think about how much they charge for it

Why don't you buy a real guitar and study real music theory you fucking faggot. Go and find a torrent of the older Steve Krenz learning series. There's a newer one you can actually buy too but it's by Gibson (I think they bought out his brand, and it's still him teaching you), and I don't know how good they are over the originals.

>>738257261
Because this is fun.

I greatly prefer to play GHWT Deluxe and download every official song there.
Otherwise get clone hero or yarg and go here to download song packs.

I tried playing my friends SG the other day but it felt like dogshit because the strings were corroded and I did not wanna rub my fingers over it. Even then I couldn't remember how to play anything other than open chords, every song I tried to play off of memorization did not sound right on it. It fucking sucks ive been playing guitar for nearly a year and have absolutely nothing to show for it when I play in front of others. When im playing by myself I am a little impressed by some of the stuff I can do but in front of others im nearly incapable of playing.

Clone Hero if I just want to play the songs with simple or prerendered video backgrounds.
Guitar Hero World Tour Definitive Edition if I want to have an animated background with the artists/musicians moving around and stuff, while also being able to add custom songs and skins. Custom songs for the most part don't have animations for the artists though, unless they are from an official release. Also I think Chorus Encore is the best place to find songs but there might be better ones.

If you're interested in learning real guitar alongside playing Guitar Hero you can get Rocksmith. Of course it's a bit harder than Guitar Hero but I think you get the same kind of satisfaction from it and the skill ceiling is virtually infinite.

Guitar Hero is fun as hell as an abstraction of playing the actual instrument, but at that point you're essentially playing the real chords and real licks with the real fingerings of a real song on a plastic guitar which finally had me scratching my head and joining the boomers wondering why the dude doesn't just play it on an actual guitar if he's that good at it

Shit's only worth it if you truly care about making noise or if you reincarnate back in the 60s.

How much trouble is it to get into Rocksmith? I want to just buy it on Steam and then pirate all the DLC and download customs. What do I need to get my guitar to work with it?

I remember even in like 2006 my guitarist friend would complain that he spent so much effort learning to play difficult metal songs and bitches didn't care, but some fag wearing a sweater strumming the same 2 chords over and over with his acoustic guitar would have girls all over him.

>>738252629
You could learn how to play a real guitar with the same effort. I guess normies enjoy being useless.

You better have a 24 fret shredder stick or Rocksmith ain't doing you good kid. (Iron Maiden songs etc...) I recommend: Kramer Guitars Striker or something similar, its probably best budget superstrat.

>>738267359
It took me about 2-3 months to start playing tabs or learning the chords of songs I liked. The first month sucks but once your fingers get callused and you learn strumming patterns it becomes addicting.

>>738269282
first month should be spent on scales as warm up and finger torture to build up calluses, coordination and learning basic chord progression songs so you can pick and play any 4 chord song you want to learn in the future. (chord switching is the biggest bitch with smaller hands for sure.)

I've been playing for 7 months. I know a lot of chords and can switch between them decently fast. I can finally play things that sound like actual music. But I feel like my progress is stagnating. All the guides I find seem to focus on absolute beginners. How do I get better?

>>738269938
Keyboard sections are in songs, but it's a swap from guitar to keyboard on songs that feature it. Same note structure though, so unfortunately you're outta luck.

I dunno, I just kept playing for a few years and mostly did stagnate and then stopped playing. You'll keep getting better if you keep playing, even if it's practicing the same silly thing over and over, but the only way to learn new stuff is to try to play new stuff.

>>738269752

>>738269663
That sucks anon, im really paranoid about fucking up my hands playing rugby. I feel like you can learn to fret with your left hand and strum with your right if you give it a month or two. IMO you arent missing much using a plectrum instead of doing fingerstyle for the intro. Its also not that hard to learn the beginning part, I was able to learn it about 3-4 months after starting guitar. I saw a video the other day of a blues guitarist who can play well even though his strumming hand is missing every finger other than his pinky.

>>738270461

I do think telling someone to just get a shitty $200 guitar/amp combo is bad advice though. If you want to learn you should do it with a proper instrument. If you learn on an acoustic, even better, because that will make playing on an electric way easier.

>>738271025
$300 is kinda where the guitars become decent though. My advice would be buy $300 guitar and play it ampless and then buy the $300 amp if youre still into it in a month. Or yeah just go acoustic

anything less than $1000 on a guitar (because that's how much decent mexico, japan and indonesia guitars cost now) and $1000 on an amp ensures you quit playing in a couple of months because your cheap guitar is dogshit and can't stay in tune while your guitar amp sounds dogshit and you're forced to buy a bajillion pedals further wasting you more shekels
then there's newbies who buy the wrong gear for the genre they play/want to play

>>738271830
Yamaha Pacifica 112v ($320) + Boss Katana-50 Gen 3 ($350) has been good enough for me.

Last time I went to play guitar I put on some strings figuring my harmonics would be fucked because I left strings on it for years. They were indeed fucked. I had actually replaced my acoustic strings more regularly since it was my dad's guitar so I just played that for 45 minutes. Despite not playing in almost 10 years I still remembered pretty much everything, though my technique is horrendous. I'll try to play some more when I get back from the store, I'll pick up some strings while I'm at it.

>>738271830
>>738271212
I agree with the anon that says you should actually buy something decent because i got a used acoustic from a flea market and it was so fucking ass i never wanted to play guitar ever again, then a cousin lend me his les paul epiphone and it was so soft and easy to play on that i got my motivation back

>>738272259
My mom had the exact same thing happen to her. Somehow our family that played guitar didn't notice the guitar was fucked up either. I'm gonna guess they just didn't look at it and assumed she was just bad at it because she was a girl.

>>738271830
You must be really out of the loop. Any used guitar store, there are plenty of good quality guitars in the $300 range that although aren't perfect, will manage to stay in tune for at least a few hours of play (I'd have to re-tune my epiphone sg about once a week). Even still, a guitar player should be able to tune by ear, which takes a couple minutes tops and about 20 seconds if you have a good ear.

>>738272259
>>738272341
Well don't get something literally broken but you really don't need to spend over $100 to find out if you are interested in something. I found a decent fender at a yard sale for $60 and it was easily a $200 guitar. But if you spend the 200 and still don't like it, that's going to feel shitty

>>738272505
Yeah, I really liked that yard sale suggestion another anon made, you can potentially find something really good for the value and either way it should be enough to figure out whether or not you're actually willing to commit to it.

Budget guitars have been pretty solid for a while now. I still regularly play my Ibanez RG2EX1 I got 18 years ago, swapped out the pickups and it stays in tune just fine even playing in alternate tunings. Only gripe I ever had was intonation but a guitar tech took care of that easily.

Only jazz really. Heavy metal has been pretty monkey see monkey do for decades and most techniques between that and classical carry over. Jazz is more “music by musicians for musicians” tho and you start getting into goofy chord shapes and time signatures, but is the most fun to play imo.
