Johnny, Grab Your Guitar: How to Summon "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" in GH3
Ah, the sweet sounds of shredding licks and a fiddle duel against the devil himself. That's the magic of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" in Guitar Hero 3, folks. But unlike Johnny, some of us might be a little confused on how to unlock this southern-fried shred-fest. Fear not, aspiring guitar heroes, for this guide will have you picking those strings like a fiddle champion in no time!
The Ballad of Lou's Challenge (and Downloadable Redemption)
First things first, there are two paths to rocking this legendary tune. Buckle up, because this gets a little technical (kind of like those fast-paced tapping sections):
The PS3 and Xbox 360 Redemption: For these lucky console cowboys, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is available as downloadable content (DLC). That means you can head over to your platform's marketplace and snag it for a few bucks. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
The Face-Melting Showdown (For Everyone Else): Now, for the Wii warriors and those rocking the OG PS2, things get a bit more interesting. There's no direct download option for this song. But fret not, because the devil works in mysterious ways (and also through epic boss battles). The only way to play this song in these versions is to defeat Lou, the final boss, in a face-melting guitar duel. It's a test of your skills, a chance to prove you're a true champion. So crank up the difficulty, practice those scales, and get ready to send Lou packing back to hell (or at least the results screen).
Pro-Tip: Before you challenge Lou, make sure you've been practicing your licks. This ain't your grandma's bingo night; you're going toe-to-toe with the devil himself.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
