I think that was only the first game or two, where you got a special guitar for playing through each difficulty mode. By the time the second game came out I'd already been playing on Expert, so I just started with Hard until I knew the songs and the gameplay changes and then went up to Expert again. Easy mode was just too simple after the first few songs.Captain Blackout said:One of the Guitar Hero games forces to play on easy if you want to unlock everything. Bastards!
