Revision as of 23:44, 7 December 2007

"Message in a Bottle" is a famous song by The Police from their second album Reggatta De Blanc, released in 1979. Although it didn't perform well in the USA (it peaked at No. 74 on the charts) it was a major hit in the UK, Netherlands, and Australia, reaching No. 1, No. 2, and No. 5 on the charts, respectively. A cover is found on Guitar Hero II.

On Guitar Hero II

"Message in A Bottle" is found on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 versions of Guiter Hero II; however, on the PS2 version, the song is found as the third song in the second tier labled Amp-Warmers, while on the Xbox 360 port, it is the third song in the third tier labled String-Snappers.

On Expert:

The song can be labled as repetative, as much of the time the player plays the same continous riff. It is with this the song begins; the sequence is entirely composed of single notes and sustains. Once the first section of the song is completed, the player plays the chorus section of the guitar which is actually a bass section, not actual guitar. The bass mainly consists of single chord sections, and near the end of it an alternating chord/single note section which may prove to be challenging to an up and coming player.

After the first chorus, the player completes a brief interlude of three-button chords, a few single notes, and some sustains, then plays the main single note riff for a second time. The chorus is played again, then afterwards a brief solo. After playing the main riff and the chorus in that order for a third time, the player encounters another solo.

At this point the main riff is played yet again, this time longer, then enters into the final solo. The solo is relatively sparse until the tail end, where a frantic solo composed of HOs and POs is thrown at the player. Afterwards the song dies down and finishes.
