Guitar Hero II is a musicrhythm game developed by Harmonix, published by Activision and distributed by RedOctane. It is the second installment in the Guitar Hero series and is the sequel to Guitar Hero. It was first released for the PlayStation 2 in November 2006 and then for the Xbox 360 in April 2007, with additional content not originally in the PlayStation 2 version.
Like in the original Guitar Hero, the player uses a peripheral in the shape of a solid-body electric guitar to simulate playing rock music as notes scroll towards the player. Most of the gameplay from the original game remains intact., provides new modes and note combinations. The game features more than 40 popular licensed songs, many of them cover versions recorded for the game, spanning five decades (from the 1960s to the 2000s). The PlayStation 2 version of Guitar Hero II can be purchased individually or in a bundle that packages the game with a cherry red Gibson SG guitar controller. The Xbox 360 version of the game is offered in a bundle that packages the game with a white Gibson Explorer guitar controller. Both of these controllers are wired, but RedOctane also sells a wireless controller for the PlayStation 2.
The Guitar Hero series (sometimes referred to as the Hero series) is a series of musicrhythm games first published in 2005 by RedOctane and Harmonix, and distributed by Activision, in which players use a guitar-shaped game controller to simulate playing lead, bass guitar, and rhythm guitar across numerous rock music songs. Players match notes that scroll on-screen to colored fret buttons on the controller, strumming the controller in time to the music in order to score points, and keep the virtual audience excited. The games attempt to mimic many features of playing a real guitar, including the use of fast-fingering hammer-ons and pull-offs and the use of the whammy bar to alter the pitch of notes. Most games support single player modes, typically a Career mode to play through all the songs in the game, and both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. With the introduction of Guitar Hero World Tour in 2008, the game includes support for a four-player band including vocals and drums. The series initially used mostly cover versions of songs created by WaveGroup Sound, but most recent titles feature soundtracks that are fully master recordings, and in some cases, special re-recordings, of the songs. Later titles in the series feature support for downloadable content in the form of new songs.
Guitar Hero (competition), (since 2008 Guitar Superstar) a yearly competition by Guitar Player magazine to see who is the best guitar player in the world
Guitar Heroes, a 2004 album by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
Guitar Superstar is a yearly competition hosted by the Guitar Player magazine in which 10 finalists compete for the title of Guitar Superstar or Guitar Hero for the year. The competition started in 2005 as the Guitar Hero Competition but was changed in 2008 to the current title, probably to avoid confusion with the Guitar Hero video game series.

EDIT: I'm blown away at how many people have seen this. I uploaded this many years ago just as a test for color correction settings, I never expected over 3 million people to see it. The massive support for this video, and others I uploaded around the same time, inspired me to upload more. I now have EVERY SONG from Guitar Hero and Rock Band uploaded on my channel, and I'm currently working through all the Guitar Hero DLC.

Guitar Hero 2 - "Six" Expert 100% FC (441,808)
Six - All That Remains
Just like Jordan, I've had this sitting around for quite a while. My only video of this song is on PS2 and has really shitty quality, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to upload a crisp 1080P 60FPS vid of this song. This song is incredibly hard to FC on Xbox 360. If you don't know, fast strumming passages like on this song and Misirlou are wayyyy harder to hit on 360 than on PS2. No one really knows why, but it's true.

Guitar Hero 2 - "Misirlou" Expert 100% FC (377,970)
Misirlou - Dick Dale
Legit took me well over 200 restarts. This song is ridiculous to FC on 360. I know there is no concrete evidence that fast strumming is harder on 360, there definitely is something wrong with it. I went on my PS2 just out of curiosity to see if I could FC Misirlou more easily, and I got it within 3 tries. This song and Six are the hardest FCs in the game on Xbox 360 (Trogdor excluded, impossible). I am so happy that I finally got this FC on video. Now for getting Six and Trogdor...
