Finally!  I beat Free Bird in Guitar Hero 2 on Hard tonight.  I just beat on the practice sections over and over -- what a great improvement in GH2 over GH1.  Guitar solo I / J and then Q really kicked my butt (52%) but I managed to just barely squeak by with judicious Star Power.

Now I'm left with mostly hunting achievements, since I know there is no way I'll ever beat Expert -- though I'll give it a try.  I'll have to writeoff all the co-op achievements unless I haul my Xbox into work, but that might be do-able... 5-starring all the songs on Medium could be fun.  Probably impossible to 5-star everything on Hard for me.  But so much of Guitar Hero is just pure fun of playing, I really don't mind trying!

FREE BIRD!!!!
