Expert
Tier 1: Starting out Small
Foghat - "Slow Ride"
- Overall Difficulty: 1/10
- Solo Difficulty: 1/10
- 4-Star Cutoff: 91,190
- 5-Star Cutoff: 127,666
This song should present no problem for those starting out on Expert. The star power paths are very easy to get. Save your starpower for the areas with chords, especially the three-note chords, as you'll rack up more points. You shouldn't have to use star power for the solo, as it's very simple.
Poison - "Talk Dirty to Me"
- Overall Difficulty: 2/10
- Solo Difficulty: 2/10
- 4-Star Cutoff: 140,994
- 5-Star Cutoff: 197,392
This song has many more chords than "Slow Ride," so you'll be able to get even more points. The harder part to master in this song is the switches between BO chords and regular B notes, as well as the switches between the YO chords and regular Y notes. Other than that, you should be able to get the star power paths easily and activate it during the long series of chords to rack up major points. The solo is a little more difficult this time, containing a series of BYR, YRG, and OBY pull-offs. The outro also contains a series of YRG-RY hammer-ons and pull-offs, but it should be easy.
Pat Benatar - "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"
- Overall Difficulty: 1/10
- Solo Difficulty: 1/10
- 4-Star Cutoff: 80,718
- 5-Star Cutoff: 113,006
Another chord-filled song that should be pretty easy to Expert players. The star power paths are easy to get, and can be used for any of the series of chords in the beginning and middle sections. Watch out for the pull-off section that occurs after about a minute, as it may catch you off-guard. It's a GR-RY-YB-BO series of hammer-ons and pull-offs that shouldn't be too hard to get past. The solo in this song is a simple hammer-on and pull-off section similar to the one in the beginning.
Social Distortion - "Story of My Life"
- Overall Difficulty: 1/10
- Solo Difficulty: 2/10
- 4-Star Cutoff: 177,858
- 5-Star Cutoff: 294,002
One of the longest songs in the game, but definitely one of the easiest. The intro part might be a little annoying, but from there, it gets very easy. You can grab the easy star power paths and use them during any of the heavy chord parts (especially the three-note chords before the solo part). The solo is a series of three-note hammer-ons and pull-offs, which shouldn't present much of a problem. Overall, you should be able to get tons of points by using star power during the long series of chords.
KISS - "Rock and Roll all Nite"
- Overall Difficulty: 2/10
- Solo Difficulty: 4/10
- 4-Star Cutoff: 89,862
- 5-Star Cutoff: 125,807
To do well on this song, you'll have to master the YB-RB-GR chord sequence, so you don't break your combo and waste your star power in the beginning of the song. This song features a lot of fast chord sequences, but they should be pretty easy overall, and you can easily get a high score by using star power during them. Make sure you don't use star power before the long breaks that go into the YB hammer-on parts. You'll probably want to save some star power for the solo/outro part, as it can be pretty difficult. The first part with the G-R-R-B sequence is easy, but the pull-off section with the chords can get a little crazy. The chords towards the outro should be pretty easy to handle, while the outro itself will be a little harder, as it contains a harder pull-off section. You'll definitely want to save some star power for either the chord part in the beginning of the solo, or the outro itself.
