Caitlin and I have been stuck on “Psychobilly Freakout” on Expert in Guitar Hero II for a couple of weeks now.  We’d practice here and there (since the new version 2 of the game allows for all sorts of practice modes), and get close, but we kept getting boo’d off the stage.

It was so frustrating.

Until tonight!  I got my 3 stars and passed it so I could move on.  Here’s a little glimpse of me rocking out and finishing that gnasher of fingers:

This was especially exhilarating because the encore when you finally pass all four songs in the “Furious Fretwork” section (Madhouse, Carry Me Home, Laid To Rest, and Psychobilly Freakout) is none other than YYZ by Rush.  I’m such the Rush fan.

I was able to finish YYZ, Beast and the Harlot and Institutionalized without getting boo’d off the stage, and I’m pretty proud of that.  But then Misirlou was next and I barely got half-way through.  Them’s some fast picking required!!!

So now I just have 3 songs left to eke my way through Guitar Hero II.  Ah, good times.
