Hammer Ons / Pull Offs - In the GH2 Demo

**jaygazm** · Joined: 28 Apr 2006 Posts: 15 Location: Indiana

I purchased the Demo yesterday for Guitar Hero 2 (November Issue of OPM).

Hammer Ons and Pull Offs are now possible. They apparently changed the sensitivity. So now Hammer Ons and Pull Offs work like regular notes in that you can be a bit late and still hit the note.

This is awesome.

I was playing through one of the songs on the demo and noticed that I wasn't strumming but I was hitting the notes.

I can't wait for full GH2.

that's super good for me because a) hammer-on are fun

b) I tend to rely on hammer-ons in GH and they never work, but in GH2 they will

it'll make me a better player for sure Mr. Green

Yeah, I HO/PO all of the little solo part in YYZ before the main riff starts in. I never miss it now. I used to think that'd be a part I'd never learn, too, but with HO/PO it's very easy. Also the solos and trills are far easier now.

Yeah, originally i was amazed to see how in Phreak's video how easily he flew through some of the trills, especially in Strutter. But having just played through i have to say, trills in particular are so much easier with the new HOPO's.

I think Red Octane also said you don't have to hold the notes before it to HO/PO. In my opinion, that makes the game too easy, or at least not as realistic. I haven't played the demo yet so I'm not sure about this.

Question, can you strum, miss a HO/PO and still HO/PO the rest? Or do you need to restrum to start up the chain again?

Cause if its the former thats way to easy.

to answer your question, if you mess up once, you have to strum again to continue the hammer on/pull off.

also, in the first one, you don't have to hold down the previous button to do pull offs, i don't know why they said that it has changed. try it out on killer queen without holding down the previous button.
