Guitar Hero National Championships next year, world records on the line

By now, all you virtuoso Guitar Heroes (and from what we hear, there are quite a few of you) will have had a couple of weeks in the company of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. So, if you possess digits like these, and have a certain knack for the plastic axe, you may be interested to know that the first ever Guitar Hero National Championships are "just" six months away, giving you oodles of time to perfect those high kicks.
The event is being staged at the sixth TooManyGames conference on May 4th, 2008 in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, and will be presided over by video game world record keepers Twin Galaxies, meaning you'll have a chance to be immortalised in Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records.
It's best to weigh up the competition first though, so hit the break to watch the most irritating child of all time casually slaughter "Dead!" by Chemical Romance on Expert (occasionally turning his back to the screen), and then have the audacity to show us the Devil's Horns. The scamp.

While the kid in the video turns away from the TV a few times, it's kind of like me when I'm playing DDR, it's very repetitive evenly spaced patterns.
There's a guy at my local EBGames that plays Guitar Hero while sitting on the counter next to the TV. THAT is memorization.

That video's really not that amazing; I mean it's cool because the kid is young, but that's definitely not a difficult song.

Wow, the kid played a song full of evenly spaced, large spaced notes. That was sooooo amazing. yeah. My Chemical Romance needs to die. I'm sorry, but I hate them! They're SUCH pussies it's not even funny! Now, if that kid could play TTFAF on Expert and look away form the screen...THAT would be amazing!

Even with missing more notes, I can dominate that score. It's because his Star Power Path is bad.

LOL. And the trash talking comes out. This video just makes me feel sad. My GH skills need some practice.

You know.. I bought Mario DDR, and I'd buy Mario Guitar Hero too.

You know HG is like any game that requires many button pushes. You learn the timing and memorize the pattern and you are an ace in the hole. That is why after buying two GH games I didn't go for part 3 for that simple reason.
