A perfect run of Who Was in My Room Last Night, 358k, from Guitar Hero 2.
This song has a pretty tricky star power path -- it's easy to save SP for each verse, but the path in this video is at least 30k better.
An Expert run of the Romantics' "What I Like About You" taken from a preview version of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Visit GameSpy.com for more 80s videos in hi-res.
A 100% run of the Foo Fighters' The Pretender from Guitar Hero 3 (x360 version).
This SP path was originally good enough for the first place on the XBL leaderboards, so it should be solid. And the song rocks. :)
Also, the guitar in the video is an Xbox 360 Les Paul with a chrome faceplate.
A near-perfect run of TROGDORRRRR!!! in Guitar Hero 2.

A 5-star Expert run of Joe Satriani's "Surfing With The Alien," downloadable content for Guitar Hero 3 (x360).
This was just released today, so this is an extremely messy run, but I wanted to post it anyway so people can check out the note chart and laugh at the picture-in-picture as I flail hopelessly at the trills. :)
An Expert run of the Vapors' "Turning Japanese," taken from a preview version of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Check GameSpy.com for hi-res and downloadable versions.
A 100% Expert run of Slipknot's "Before I Forget" from Guitar Hero 3.
Despite the 100%, the score's not great -- there's a lot of improvement remaining with Star Power timing. (also, apologies for the bad lighting on the picture-in-picture).
A 100% run of Weezer's "My Name Is Jonas" from Guitar Hero 3 (x360 version).
One of the easier songs to 100% on Expert, but it's a great song and the hammer-ons make it ridiculous fun to play.
A 100% run of one of the new songs from the x360 version of Guitar Hero 2. I'm not sure this Star Power path is optimal, but seems like a decent start.

A 100% expert guitar playthrough of Blink 182's "All The Small Things," downloadable content for Rock Band (x360), released 1.15.08.
Of the three songs released today, this is by far the easiest on guitar. I'm not sure if this Overdrive path is optimal, but it should at least be a good place to start. :)
This is match 1, song 1 of the June 07 Albuquerque Guitar Hero 2 finals between Kingofterrors (right) and young 8-year old Beberle (left).
Apologies for the lousy video quality; the setting was dark and pretty noisy with other matches happening at the same time. It's best if you watch the center needle to see who's winning.
This is match 1, song 2 (Psychobilly Freakout) of the June 07 Southwest Regional GH2 finals in Albuquerque, NM, between Kingofterrors (right) and 8-year-old Beberle (left).
Once again, sorry about the video quality, it was pretty dark and noisy. It's worth it, however -- watch as the match is decided by less than 400 points!
An Expert run of the Go-Go's "We Got The Beat" taken from a preview version of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Visit GameSpy.com for hi-res and downloadable versions of other 80s songs.
A 100% expert guitar run of Boston's "More Than a Feeling," downloadable content for Rock Band (x360) released 3.25.08.
By far the easiest song in the pack, but still a classic. :)
