More Info On Ted Nugent:

The Paul Reed Smith Guitar produced in Maryland is the creation of Paul Reed Smith. The year was 1985 when he started producing guitars for local bands. Today the guitar is world famous.

They are sought after because of their fine sound and because of their beautiful features. Musicians want them because of their unique sound. Collectors want them for their unique art work. The basic Paul Reed Smith is made of mahogany and maple wood. They sport a high figured top. Some have what appears to look like tiger stripes.

Some high end models are made of Brazilian rosewood with finger boards made of the same type of wood. This work of art was used by Ted Nugent, the first well known rock star to be convinced to try it out. This was the beginning of something big for the Maryland company.

When a big name like Ted Nugent agrees to use your instrument you are looking at some great publicity if he gives his approval. He did and the guitar maker has not looked back. It is interesting to say the least how the actual guitar can have such a large influence on the music and the performer.

For the average music fan who is not in touch with the musical instruments themselves he takes for granted the connection the performer has with his guitar. The music itself might not have ever appeared if not for a particular model guitar.

The person in the know however can appreciate the connection that the Paul Reed Smith guitar has had with some of the best music to be produced. If you want to try one of the best guitars in the world this is the one for you. In the meantime take a listen to some of your favorite rock music and see if you can tell the difference in the guitars you hear.

Paul Reed Smith Guitar are produced in the state of Maryland and a definite must-have for any and every guitar lover. Donny Brasco takes you on the ultimate Paul Reed Smith journey now on http://www.paulreedsmith.org.

Guitar Hero Helps Play Real Guitar

There, that's for the review skimmers; I know you're out there.Guitar Hero Helps Play Real Guitar I should also note that I'm not an expert player, in fact I'd rather learn to play while head banging as oppose to expert on hyper speed. Now then, what else can be said about this game? It's on some pretty major consoles and comes with either two guitars or a sweet Aerosmith face plate. It's the same fret button pressing action as we're use to with a lot of hammer ons and pull offs.

For starters it's basically what we wanted Rock the 80's to be dipped in Aerosmith. There's a lot of Aerosmith (as you may have guessed) but there's also some other killer bands including the Kinks, Ted Nugent, and the Cult. All the band elements are here from Joe Perry's guitars to Steve Tyler's on stage actions. This is essential for any fan of either series. The frame rate is solid and the lighting and shading effects are really sweet. I also noticed that the Aerosmith band interacts with each other on stage and a little bird told me that will be a must for the up coming Guitar hero games.

The thing that I liked the most about this game was the fact that there was live cameos, not only that, but as you play it really makes you feel like your advancing in the story. Another cool thing is the way the career is set up. You pick your GH character (same as GH3) and there the ones opening for Aerosmith. They play 2 songs and then the crowd demands you bring on Aerosmith. You now play 3 songs by the famous band, as the famous band. The old GH characters have some new styles, but they're basically the same, No Lou, Rock God, or Robot dude though. One thing that left me saying??? Was the fact the singing was oddly quiet. I mean I know this is GUITAR hero but c'mon, and the fact Run DMC was in this and a guitar player... really?

The venues in this game were pretty neat because you advance through Aerosmith's history. From the Nipmuc high school to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. If you're playing on the 360 the achievements are a lot like GH 2, not easy but not impossible. The same number note streaks are here as you may have guessed but they have Aerosmith oriented names. I mean when there's one for playing as Izzy Sparks called "Dude looks like a lady" you can't go wrong. There's no xbox controller achievement here, thank god.

Overall

One of the major downfalls in this game is that there are only roughly 40 songs and no downloadable content on the way. Just a reminder Guitar Hero 3 had more than 70 with extra content so if you're a guitar hero starter grab that one. Speaking of which there's a lot of good and bad GH3 qualities here. Some cute GH style in everything down to the text, but there's still the 50 NOTE STREAK that always screws me up. A nice quality in this game is that they're honest, if a song's a cover they tell you and you don't look stupid for sticking up for your favorite bands. Overall I had a good time playing this game and if you're a fan of both factors you will be too.

Do you think Ted Nugent is underrated as a guitarist?

I barely see him get any recognition on here. He may have peaked a long time ago, but I think his earlier albums were awesome.

Yes I do, you don't hear alot of his music on the classic rock stations either, the only songs I hear on a regular basis on the classic rock stations are "Cat Scratch Fever", "Free For All" and "Stranglehold"
