Guitar Hero 1 is a game that provided some of the most unique challenges in the entire franchise. With its very broken hammer-on and pull-off mechanic, players were forced to resort to strumming virtually every note, which made some FC's in this game look unrealistic. While video documentation was scarce during this time period, the story when put together is amazing to follow, and laid out the groundwork for what the 5-fret game is capable of today.

Correction: Meant to say Symphony of Destruction's solo utilizes 1/6 (24th notes) instead of 1/3 (12th notes).

Also, I need a break from scorehero now lmao
