| GH3 - Through the Fire and Flames (Expert) - 100% (Bot) |
 |
A bot getting 100% (FC) on Through the Fire
and Flames with a final score of 983,802.
So there the FC everyone's been looking for.
The star power path may not have been perfect
but it was at the very least decent. As you
can see the bot is also able to use the
whammy bar to help maximize it's score.
For those that don't know, a bot (short for
robot) is a device/program that will
automatically play Guitar Hero based on how
it was programmed. This bot was made by
modifying an Xbox 360 controller and wiring
it up to a microcontroller.
FAQs:
Q: How long did it take to build this and get
it working?
A: I had something functional (see last
video) in around 1 week. To get this fully
working, it took around 2 months of working
on it on and off.
Q: What system is this for?
A: This is for the Xbox 360 version of Guitar
Hero 3 (although untested, it will most
likely work for GH1 and GH2 also)
Q: Do you play on Xbox Live?
A: I have an Xbox Live account however I have
NO plans on taking this bot on there just for
the sake of cheating the high scores.
Q: Why would you build this to cheat?
A: The challenge of this project was making a
Guitar Hero playing robot, which I assure you
was anything but easy. The point was not to
cheat, but to build a functioning robot, at
which I feel I have succeeded.
Q: How did you get this bot?
A: I built it.
Q: What does the robot look like?

A high quality video will be posted when I
get off my lazy ass.
EDIT:
A lot of people have requested I make a video
of the bot doing The Devil Went Down To
Georgia. I would be willing to make this
video, however, I would need a copy of the
note chart for this song. Because it is DLC,
I can't get a copy off the DVD of the game.
If anyone has access to their Xbox 360 Hard
Drive and is willing to send me the file I
need, please private message me. The file I
need is most likely called
"tdwdtg.mid.qb.xen" or "tdwdtg_song.pak.xen"
or something similar.

| Marvin Gaye I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1968) |
 |
Born in 1939 in D.C. to a father from
Kentucky and a mother from North Carolina,
Marvin Gaye blazed the trail for the
continued evolution of popular black music.
Moving from lean, powerful R&B to stylish,
sophisticated soul to finally arrive at an
intensely political and personal form of
artistic self-expression, his work not only
redefined soul music as a creative force but
also expanded its impact as an agent for
social change. Marvin Gaye was one of the
most gifted, visionary, and enduring talents
ever launched into orbit by the Motown hit
machine.
By the time of his death in 1984 at the hands
of his clergyman father, Gaye had won two
Grammy Awards: one for Best Male R&B Vocal
Performance and one for Best Instrumental
Recording for the single, Sexual Healing.
Norman Whitfield first recorded "I Heard It
Through the Grapevine" in early 1967 with
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles as the
vocalists. During the 1960s, Motown held
Quality Control meetings each Friday morning
to determine which new recordings would be
released as singles. The Quality Control
staff voted as a democracy, with Motown chief
Berry Gordy also holding veto power. During
one of those meetings, Whitfield presented
the Miracles' "Grapevine", which was not
chosen for release. Undaunted, Whitfield had
The Isley Brothers re-record the song; their
version also failed to gain a release.
Still determined that he and Barrett Strong
had written a hit, Whitfield had "Grapevine"
recorded a third time. Re-imagining the soul
song as a slower, psychedelic-inspired
record, Whitfield had Marvin Gaye record the
lead vocal, with The Andantes on background
vocals and Motown's studio band The Funk
Brothers playing a voodoo-like instrumental
track.
It took Marvin Gaye two months to complete
his recording of the song, which he worked on
during April and May of 1967. Whitfield had
Gaye's lead vocal arranged just above his
actual register, a trick he had used with
David Ruffin on Temptations songs such as
"Ain't Too Proud to Beg" in order to elicit a
rawer vocal from the singer as he strained to
hit the high notes. The trick worked, and
Gaye's pained lead on "Grapevine", contrasted
with the softer vocals of the Andantes, made
Whitfield sure he had finally recorded a hit.
Motown label chief Berry Gordy was not
impressed, however, and vetoed "Grapevine" at
a Friday morning Quality Control Meeting. In
its stead, the label issued another Gaye
recording, "Your Unchanging Love", as a
single; "Your Unchanging Love" charted at
number thirty-three on the Billboard Hot 100
chart, and number seven on the Billboard
Black Singles (R&B) chart.
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" has been
rendered in several different ways, although
the song's theme, a relationship in the
beginning stages of breakup, remains
prominent in each version. The narrator in
the song has no clue that his/her
relationship is in a bad state, and only
learns after hearing gossip "through the
grapevine" that his/her lover is cheating.
The narrator confronts the lover, and
explains, through the lyrics, that, although
the betrayal hurts the narrator deeply, it is
the fact that the lover refused to inform the
narrator of the infidelity that hurts the
most.
Of the first four versions of the song
produced by Norman Whitfield himself, only
the Marvin Gaye version makes pain and
confusion a clear part of the recording's
musical texture: Whitfield surrounds Gaye
with horror-film strings, voodoo-styled drums
and percussion, and an ominous Wurlitzer
electric piano line doubled by the guitar.
The Miracles' version is a standard mid-tempo
number, while Gladys Knight & the Pips'
version is built around bravado and a
quick-tempo gospel feel.
