When the battle with Lou starts at the end of the game on Expert mode, strum without holding any frets until you lose. At the 'Game Over' screen, select 'Tutorial'. Pick the tutorial for Guitar Battle, and play through it until the 'Lesson Complete' message appears. As soon as the next fret board appears, pause the game, and exit to return to the lesson menu. Then, press Red to return to the list of songs. The battle with Lou will be highlighted. Choose the song, and Lou's notechart will now be set to Easy mode. Note: Your notechart will still be in Expert mode, but his will be in Easy mode.
Easier songsBefore the beginning of the song (before the chords appear), move the Strum Bar Up and Down until the meter stops going down. Note: When the meter stops it will be in the red, and when the meter starts again it will be somewhere in the middle of the song.
Easier 'Through The Fire And Flames' songBefore you start playing during the introduction, wrap a rubber band around Green. By doing this, you will not have to worry about holding Green, as it does it for you. Make sure you press the other buttons quickly so that Green can register. If you hold the buttons as you do the hammer-ons, Green will not register, and you will fail.
Hammering on and pulling offHammering on and pulling off happens when you can strum on one note and successfully hit the notes that come after it without using the strum bar. Look for the single notes with white rings on top instead of black rings. As long as you hit the previous note, you can hit the next note by pressing the correct fret button. This is especially useful on songs like Cult Of Personality on the Hard difficulty.
Predator referenceThere is a reference to the movie Predator in the song 'Helicopter'. After playing the song, go to the 'More Stats' screen, or to Practice mode, and get to the screen where you choose what section to play. One of the sections in the song is called 'Get Back To The Choppa!!!', which seems to be a reference to Arnold Schwarzenneger's line in Predator, when they are all running away from the Predator.
