Anyone remember the infamous 5 note chord of Smash Hits?

It's hard to forget. If a chart in Guitar Hero isn't charted by Harmonix or Neversoft, you can count on it being terrible.

FreeStyleGames managed to do great DJ charts, but crap guitar charts

Yeah no one ever talks about the DJ Hero guitar charts and I just played DJ Hero this week and wow here I was thinking World Tour was a charting mess

That's because no one plays DJ Hero for guitar.

The first game offered Guitar charts, though only like 12 songs had them. The second game supported Vocals which were wonky as hell. They didn't make sense how you were scored on it.

The Way It Ends by Prototype and Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce both had them in their charts back in GH3.

Heck, Harmonix even has a few GBO chords.

I actually didn't mind the sustained chords, open bass, or the use of 4-note chords sparingly. They were trying to expand on what a 5-button guitar controller could do, and a few of the early charts were clunky obviously, but after World Tour I never felt they went absolutely crazy trying to shoehorn in chords that obviously didn't belong. I found that Metallica and WoR didn't overuse them and usually only put them in when it felt like it made sense musically. (The Raining Blood 5-note chord WAS pushing it, though.)

They were poor charting decisions back then, too.

When I saw the first video was GH2, I was like "Yeah, but they were experimenting with 3-note chords then." Then the second video was RB2. I was taken aback at this. I knew they had some questionable charts, but there's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to chart GBO chords in this song to make it more accurate now that I know it's been done in the past. Still not gonna do it, but still...

BTW, before you ask, I'm waiting for a new vocals stem from the sole member of the "band" before releasing it.
